how 'bout a payroll reporting question re: union pension contr

[schirallicpa]

I do not prepare too much payroll. Beyond the very basics, I'm at a loss. But a client asked me this this morning. He hires union guys and makes contributions to their pension. Other than checking the box "retirement plan" does he have any further reporting on the pension contributions as far as the w-2?

thanks.

In my limited xperience with unions, that's it, mark the pension box on the w2. Strangely my, now former, client did not want that box marked on the w2s since it was not his company's pension. Hopefully others with more experience than me will chime in here.

Other that checking the box, there are no additional requirements unless the employees are withholding contributions

from their pay then you would have box 12 entries.

ok- that's what I was thinking. So good.

thank you.
