1099 & W-2 Filing Deadlines for 2022
A list of official 1099 and W2 due dates for e-filing or mailing paper copies to recipients and the IRS or SSA.
Decoding W-2 Copy Requirements
There are various ‘Copies’, or parts, of a W-2 form, each with a different name. Although they will have the same information about the employer and employee, earnings and withholdings, each copy is given to a different entity. This ensures correct reporting during the income tax filing process. W-2 Forms are filled out by the employer and provided to the employee or a government agency.
How to File a W2 or 1099 TODAY
The Deadline to Mail 1099s & W2s to Recipients is January 31. You can get them out the door without having to go to the office store and buy forms.
Why You Should NOT Buy W-2 Forms from the Office Store
Simply stated, it’s not efficient. They only have 1 style of form, the Traditional 2up W-2, for employee copies. This is the SLOWEST way to print W-2 forms.
How to Correct W2 Forms You Already Filed
If you need to correct W2 forms that have already been mailed or e-filed with the SSA, you must file a W-2C Correction Form, with a W-3C form to summarize corrections by a single employer. There is no deadline, simply file the form as soon as you discover the error.
