<prompt> Human: This will probably be a pretty straightforward answer. My employer pays me weekly. However, the work I perform Dec 25-31 wont get paid until Jan. 5. Will this week of pay show up on my 2017 W-2 or my 2018 W-2?  <response>: It would be 2018. Its when they deposit the money to your account, or when they issue the check, not when you did the work.
