The paystub will list out the gross earnings less deductions such as taxes, retirement, health savings, and net pay. This is generally provided for both the current period and year-to-date (YTD).
Net pay is generally the amount the employee will receive after taxes and deductions have been subtracted from gross pay.
Year-to-date or YTD is means the cumulative amount from January 1 to the current date or pay period. Generally, individual persons are taxed on earnings throughout the calendar year (Jan 1 – Dec 31). Therefore, amounts must be tracked cumulatively from Jan 1.
Gross pay is earnings before deductions and taxes. For example, if you earn $50 per hour and work 40 hours, your gross pay is $2,000.
These are two separate items related to payroll. Paycheck is the physical check or direct deposit that documents the transfer of funds to the employee. paystub is the detailed statement that accompanies the paycheck to demonstrate the earnings and deductions of the employee. Think of paystub as an “invoice” relating to the employee’s work for the period and the paycheck as the “receipt” for payment.
Net pay is the amount the employee “takes home” or receives after all deductions and taxes have been removed. Gross pay is earnings before taxes and deductions. The employee earns their gross pay (hourly or salary) and then the employer is required by law to deduct taxes and other items, tendering the net pay to their employee.
The primary benefit of a paystub is to allow the employee to track their earnings and ensure no discrepancies occurred. In addition, many third parties may ask for copies of paystubs as proof of earnings or employment.
Generally, how companies and employers designate employees versus contractors (aka independent contractors or non-employee contractor), is a complex legal question governed by local and federal statutes. An employee is considered part of the employer/company and has taxes and deductions removed from their gross earnings. An independent contractor is not considered a part of the employer/company and does not have taxes or deductions removed from their gross earnings. An independent contractor will generally receives only a check payment with remittance advice (a check stub but not considered a paystub because there are no taxes). An employee will generally receive a paystub that shows taxes, deductions, and net pay.
This could be a function of the amount of earnings you have and the tax withholding tables, which may stipulate $0 federal or state tax be deducted for certain income levels.

The form is also used to report certain types of miscellaneous income, such as rent, royalties, and prizes.
Yes, you generally need to file a 1099-MISC form if you paid someone $600 or more for services rendered during the tax year and that person is not your employee. The 1099-MISC form reports non-employee compensation and other miscellaneous income to the IRS.
When creating a 1099 MISC on PaystubHero.com, you’ll need the payer's name, address, and Tax Identification Number (TIN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN). You'll need the recipient's name, address, and TIN or Social Security Number (SSN).

A W-2 form is a tax document used in the US to report an employee's earnings and taxes withheld by their employer. Employees receive it to file their income tax returns. Employers issue W-2 forms by January 31st each year.
Employers are required to provide W-2 forms to their employees. Any employer who pays employees wages and withholds taxes from their paycheck must issue a W-2 form to each employee by January 31st of the year following the tax year. This form contains important information about the employee's earnings and taxes withheld, which the employee uses to file their income tax return.
No, W-2 forms are not used for contractors or freelancers. W-2 forms are specifically for employees considered "common-law employees" of a company. These are individuals whose work is controlled by the employer, and the employer withholds taxes from their paychecks.
For contractors and freelancers, typically considered "independent contractors," a different form is used to report their income. Instead of a W-2 form, employers issue a 1099-NEC form (or a 1099-MISC form for tax years before 2020) to report payments made to contractors or freelancers. The 1099-NEC form reports non-employee compensation; the 1099-MISC was previously used for this purpose.
PaystubHero.com implements robust security measures to protect sensitive data when generating W2 forms. These measures include secure encryption protocols during data transmission, strict access controls to limit data visibility to authorized personnel only, and adherence to industry best practices to safeguard user information, ensuring the confidentiality and privacy of sensitive data.
