<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in">A: Pretax PEBB deductions, pretax parking deductions, Employee paid PERS contributions, and Def Comp are not subj to FIT and SIT, however Employee paid PERS contributions and Def Comp are both subj to Social

</span></span><![endif]>Why is my year to date on my pay stub not the same as taxable income on my W-2?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in">A: Typically, the EE is comparing their gross income on the paystub to the taxable income field on the W-2. Gross pay amount are all wages before taxes are deducted. Taxable income (box 1) on the W-2
is gross income minus pretax PEBB deductions, pretax parking deductions, Def comp, and EE paid PERS contributions.
