Box 12a on the W-2 form reports various types of compensation or benefits, identified by specific codes. If you receive amounts in box 12a, you will typically enter the information on Form 1040 in the appropriate section, often on Schedule 1 or directly on the main form, depending on the nature of the code. It's important to follow the IRS instructions for the specific year to ensure accurate reporting.

Can you attach w2 to Form 1040 with a paper clip?

Yes. You can staple or paper clip Form W-2 to Form 1040. Do not staple any payment to the return; instead paper clip any payments. Form W-2 is attached because there is tax withholding information on that form. I hope this helps.
