Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a firm hires a new employee, the payroll accountant must collect two main forms from the employee: the W-4 Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate and the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification. The W-2 form is used by employers to report an employee's annual wages and taxes withheld, and the W-3 form is a summary of all the W-2 forms submitted to the Social Security Administration. Therefore, neither the W-2 nor the W-3 forms are required from a new employee. The I-8 form does not exist, so it cannot be a correct answer.
