Remember besides preparing for next year's payroll you have to prepare for end of the year wage reporting. Employers are required to file W-2 Forms (Wage and Tax Statements) for each of their employees. Employees whom have had income, Social Security and Medicare taxes withheld from their pay. A W-3 form is required to be filed with the W-2 Forms. A W-3 Form is a transmittal summary. This form gives a total amount and number of the W-2 forms being filed. W-2/W-3 forms are filed with the Social Security Administration not the Internal Revenue Service. At this time the SSA requires any employer filing more than 250 W-2 Forms to file those forms electronically versus mailing paper forms. W2 forms are to be issued to employees no later than January 31st. Employee copies consist of copies B, C and 2.
Payroll Mate supports these forms.
