The company contribute to a financial institute for the benefit pension plan. I wonder if this contribution should report to W2 box 3 and box 13 ?

    If the plan HAS to report, and it know if it has to or not, it would not appear on a W-2 but on a misc form like 1099MISC

    No, company contributions to a defined benefit plan are not shown on your W-2. The Retirement Plan in Box 13 will be checked, however.

    Edit: There are no codes in box 13, just 3 check-boxes.
