Why doesn't my last pay stub of the calendar year match the total wages information on my W-2?
11/30/2021
The information on the last pay stub of the year may not match the total wages reported on your W-2 because Box 1 reflects gross income less pre-tax items. Box 1 (Wages, tips, other compensation) of your W-2 displays taxable wages and not gross wages. Taxable wages includes your Gross pay plus all applicable pre-tax deductions for:
- SURS
- Health and dental insurance
- Exempt State Life
- Health Care Spending Accounts
- Deferred Compensation/Annuities
- Parking Permits
