Question: how much do i need to make to get a w2?
Answer: In general, you will receive a W-2 from an employer if you earned at least $600 in a given year. When the employee files taxes, the amount of tax withheld according to the W-2 form is deducted from his or her tax obligation. If more tax was withheld than the employee owes, he or she may receive a refund.
