Employee Copy B (federal)

Employee Copy B is the W-2 form your employees keep for filing their own federal income tax return. Where a payroll set includes several copies for different destinations — employer records, state filing, employee file — Copy B is specifically the one marked for federal use and handed or mailed to the employee.

Print this copy alongside the rest of an employee’s W-2 set, then collate it with their other copies before sealing the packet for distribution. Keeping Copy B distinct from Copy C or Copy 2 in a hand-collated batch matters, since each is destined for a different filing.

Business Checks & Envelopes stocks this copy as part of a broader family of individual W-2 copies — employer, employee federal, employee record and employee state/local/city — so a payroll department can order exactly the copy split its process needs rather than a fixed bundle. Ordering copies individually also gives a bookkeeper or service bureau room to adjust quantities year over year as headcount changes, without paying for copies that a particular employer, employee or filing scenario never actually needs.
