Pension does not show up as a dollar amount on the w2. There is a check box (forget what box) that indicates if you are ELIGIBLE for a pension. This check box basically is used by the IRS to determine if you are eligible to contribute to an IRA.
401K on your w2 reflects your contribution to your 401k plan (does not include any company contribution). Because your 401k is deductible from your federal tax (and some states). So, your Federal taxable wages are determined by taking your total wages and subtracting your 401k contribution (up to the established limits). Section 125 deductions also reduce your federal gross (contributions to health, dental and dependent and health savings accounts).
401k contributions do not impact your FICA(social security) or Medicare wages or tax. 401k is a defined contribution plan (because you contribute or can contribute). Pension is a defined benefit plan because it is paid for by the company. Pension will also have no impact on your fica or medicare tax or wages.
if you are actually receiving monthly pension payments, you would get a 1099 in Jan-feb, not a W-2
There is no W-2, the person gets a 1099-R which serves the same purpose. Pension payments are different the 401(k) distributions.
