Is the #2 box for federal income tax supposed to be blank?

I recently started a new job in August. My w2 from my old job had taxes withheld my current job did not take out taxes or I either didn't make enough maybe? The taxes showen on my pay stubs equal to the same amount I made for the year. Is my w2 incorrect?

    It is supposed to be blank sometimes. It's not always supposed to be blank, but if it is blank on your W-2 that's probably right.

    Blank is the same as zero.

    Box 2 should contain your federal income tax withheld.  Ask your employer why they didn't withhold any??  But I would plan on owing the Feds some money.  All these wonderful government programs cost money.  I doubt they will forget you.

    It is if nothing was withheld.

    box 2 should have the total, if any, withheld for federal income tax.
