To be frank, a W-2 is nothing more than a sheet of paper that your employer hands out to you at the year-end telling you how much you earned and how much tax has been deducted already- that is what you use to file your taxes. Imagine it is a kind of annual paycheck report that simplifies the process of paying taxes significantly.
