Where is a deferred compensation box at on w-2?

The deferred compensation amount is typically reported in Box 12 of the W-2 form. It is denoted with a specific code, such as "D" for elective deferrals to a 401(k) plan. This box provides information about contributions made to retirement plans that are not included in the employee's taxable wages for the year. Always refer to the specific W-2 instructions for accurate coding details.
