So I think something is off with my W-2. Between the 2014 and 2015 tax year, my retirement contributions remained the same, my actual salary was about $1,500 higher in 2015, yet box 1 of my 2015 shows a $10K increase from box 1 of my 2014 W-2. For the life of me, I have no idea how this could be. I want to do my taxes this week but the discrepancy is confusing to me. Any thoughts on what could be causing this given the info I provided?

No changes to my withholding, retirement contribution, and we still had 26 pay periods. This is so strange. The only change between the two years is the $1,500 pay increase in 2015.
I thought my W2 was off also so I went through all of my paychecks and fed all the info into Excel and was eventually able to reconcile everything. A higher bonus plus the extra pay check got me - first paycheck on 1/1/2015, 27th paycheck on 12/31/2015.
Needless to say I am not looking forward to filing my taxes this year.

Have you looked at your last paystubs for each year?
