It’s Your Last Day to Avoid W-2 Penalties
Well, the January 31 deadline is here! As an employer, you are responsible for distributing W-2 Forms to each of your employees and correctly filing with the Social Security Administration (SSA) by today.
If you fail to file Form W-2 by the deadline and cannot show reasonable cause, you may be subject to penalties.
There are also other reasons that you could penalized for. These penalties can be accumulated because of the following reasons:
- Fail to file by the deadline
- Fail to include all the required information to complete your Form W-2
- File with incorrect information
- File with paper forms when you are required to e-file
- Report an incorrect TIN or Forget to include a TIN; or
- File paper W-2 Forms that are not machine-readable.
Depending on the size of your business and how late you file, penalties could range from $30 – $250 per return and accumulate to over $3 million overall.
