It sounds like you are describing a W-2 form (in the United States).
Explanation:
- Received in January : Employers send out W-2 forms to employees by the end of January each year.
- One for every job you work : If you have multiple jobs, you receive a separate W-2 from each employer.
- Shows how much you earned and how much you paid in taxes : The W-2 form reports your total earnings, Social Security and Medicare wages, and the amount of federal, state, and other taxes withheld during the previous year.
This form is essential for filing your annual income tax return. If you want, I can provide more details about how to read a W-2 form or how to use it for tax filing!
