RSV may label a Vanguard-associated supplemental retirement contribution. It is not a universal tax-form code.
Employer-specific label: this is a possible interpretation. Confirm the full meaning in the codebook for the employer that issued your statement.
How to read this entry
Use the possible interpretation Supplemental retirement contribution associated with Vanguard alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.
Example on a pay statement
If RSV falls from $100 to $60 after an election change, verify the effective payday and whether eligible compensation also changed.
Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.
What to check with payroll
Check the election confirmation and the plan’s receipt of the revised contribution.
