The Form W-2 does not contain a space for Gross Wages.  The Federal, State, and Social Security/Medicare annual wages contained on the W-2 will differ from gross pay due to specific wages that are not reportable for tax purposes.

Non-reportable wages vary based on the taxing agency and may contain tax-sheltered annuity, retirement, or other pre-tax deductions.
