Form W-2GU

What is Form W-2GU?

The W 2GU template is also known as the Guam Wage and Tax Statement. Each employer has to send a report on the Guam wages to the IRS. If you pay the US income tax withholding wages you don’t have to use the form. You can use the W-2 form which is an alternative to the W-2GU form. The document was created and provided by the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service. You have to send it to the Social Security Administration in the main order.

There are several copies of the document you have to fill out and send to the different recipients.
If you have at least one employee who works in Guam you need to report it via the form. There is no limit to the number of employees. You have to report the form not only to the Social Security Administration and IRS but also to the employee who includes the form in the tax report as well.
