    Wife on OPT. Have not received a W2 for the opt work.
    Hello,

    My wife was a student till July of 2007 when she graduated. She was on F1 till then.
    She got a W2 for her work here from the university as a research assistant.

    She got a training position on her OPT. She was paid for the months of November and December. However, the OPT employer did not give her a W2. How do we report this income ?

    Thanks very much for any help.
    Any suggestion is welcome.

    Thanks,
    Anirudh

    You must contact the employer. May be your wife worked as Independent Contractor and earned less than $600 so the employer is not required to issue Form 1099-Misc.
    Even if you don't received 1099-Misc, you must report this income.
