please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

The W - 2 form is used to report an employee's annual wages and the taxes withheld from their paycheck. By definition, the taxpayer's employer is responsible for filling out the W - 2 form as they have the information about the employee's earnings and tax withholdings during the employment period. The taxpayer (option b) files their taxes using the W - 2, a tax professional (option c) helps with tax preparation for the taxpayer, and the IRS (option d) is the tax - collecting agency, not the one to fill out the W - 2.

Answer:

a. the taxpayer’s employer
