a. the taxpayer’s employer
b. the taxpayer
c. a qualified tax professional
d. the irs

Explanation:

The W - 2 form is used to report an employee's annual wages and the taxes withheld from their paycheck. By law, it is the employer's responsibility to fill out and provide the W - 2 form to each employee and to the IRS. The taxpayer (option b) uses the W - 2 to file their own taxes, not fill it out. A qualified tax professional (option c) may help the taxpayer with tax filing but doesn't fill out the W - 2. The IRS (option d) is the tax - collecting agency and does not fill out W - 2 forms for employers.

Answer:

a. the taxpayer's employer
