It appears on the W-2's of National Guard and other
reservists. It is the portion of the pay that represents
active duty pay. (In our state, active duty pay is a
subtraction from income, the "one weekend a month" part of
the income is not.) Most I have seen in the past have Code
W for the "two weeks a year" that the Guardsmen and
reservists do every year. However, we have seen a lot of
them this year with larger amounts because so many of them
have been called up for active duty.

I don't think I've ever seen that one in writing anywhere.
We found out when someone in the office called the local
Guard paymaster to find out what it was about.
