Information Regarding Your 2011 W-2

Wage and Tax Statement (W-2 Form) Distribution

The calendar year 2011 W-2 form is schedule to be distributed the final week in January 2012.

The form should be checked for accuracy. Name, address or social security number changes should be submitted on MCPS Form 445-1 to the Employee and Retiree Service Center (ERSC). An incorrect name spelling or address does not invalidate the W-2 form.

A separate W-2 will be issued to employees who had state income taxes withheld from more than two states. Tax-sheltered annuity deductions are excluded from gross wages for Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia, but not for Pennsylvania.

Duplicate W-2 Forms

If you have not received your W-2 by February 6, 2012, you may request a duplicate from the Employee and Retiree Service Center. Requests should be sent via e-mail at ERSC@mcpsmd.org or by calling 301-517-8100. In the
e-mail, include your name, employee ID number, and current mailing address. Due to the confidentiality of information, all duplicate W-2s must be obtained in person at ERSC or will be mailed by U.S. Mail; no fax or e-mail service will be provided.

Worker's Compensation Payments

Worker's compensation payments are not considered wages and are not included on the W-2 form. The W-2 has been adjusted to exclude worker's compensation payments and the refunded taxes.
