If you receive an email claiming to be from the IRS, you should not open it as it likely contains some sort of virus or malware. You should never provide your SSN/ITIN to anyone via an email. All email communications with TTU/HSC should contain your Banner ID (R#) rather than your SSN/ITIN.

Why doesn't my W-2 reflect my December earnings paid in January?
The IRS requires employers to report wages on tax form W-2 in the year in which the wages were paid. Wages for the December are paid in January and are therefore reportable in the following calendar year.
I did not work for Texas Tech last year, so why did I receive a W-2?
Form W-2 reports wages paid during the year, not wages earned during the year. Texas Tech pays monthly salaries on the first working day of the following month. If your last day worked was in December of one year and you were paid in January of the following year, those wages would be reported on the W-2 for the second year.
I started working at Texas Tech in December but did not receive a W-2. Why not?
Wages for December are normally paid in January of the following year. If you started working in December, you probably did not receive a payment until January, and those wages will be reported on next year's W-2. The W-2 reports wages paid during the year, not wages earned during the year.
Why is the amount in box 1 not the same as the calendar year to date gross pay amount?
The amount reflected in Box 1 represents taxable wages for a given calendar year. The amounts reflects gross wages less pre-tax deductions such as medical, dental, life insurance premiums, pre-tax parking, retirement contributions, tax sheltered annuity contributions, Texflex, etc.
Why is the amount in box 1 not the same as my applicable gross year to date amount for Federal Income Tax on my last check?
The amount listed in your year to date applicable gross for Federal Income Tax does not include the taxable portion of your group-term life insurance over $50,000 which must be included in your taxable earnings reported in box 1 on the W-2. The difference between the amount listed on your final earning statement for Federal Income Tax and the amount reported in box 1 of the W-2 should be the amount listed in box 12C of the W-2 for the taxable portion of the group-term life insurance over $50,000.
