A new week has begun and with just 13 days left in the year of 2017, tax filing due dates for the 2017 tax year have been set early. 

Employers face a due date of January 31, 2018 for filing 2017 Forms W-2 and W-3 with the Social Security Administration. This deadline applies to both electronic and paper filers.

Form 1099-MISC is also due to the IRS and individuals by January 31 when reporting non-employee compensation payments in Box 7.

Each of these forms can now be filed easily under one account with TaxBandits. A new innovative, tax filing solution created and designed for small businesses, nonprofits, and tax professionals.

Filing Form W-2 and Form 1099-MISC with TaxBandits is much more simple than you think. Within a few steps, you can file Form w-2, W-3, 1099-MISC, and a host of other necessary forms for your business and employees.

Form W-2 Filing Information

Unsure of what information you’ll need to file Form W-2? No worries! Here’s the info you should have when filing:

• Employer Details: Name, EIN, Employer Code, Employer Type, and Address
• Employee Details: Name, SSN, Address, and Contact Information
• Federal Details: Federal Income and Federal Tax Withheld
• State Filing Details: State Income and State Tax Withheld

After you’ve submitted this information and filed your Form W-2, a Form W-3 must be submitted. Form W-3 is a transmittal form that reports the total earnings, social security wages, Medicare wages, and tax withholdings for your employees during the tax period. At TaxBandits, we automatically generate Form W-3 for you when you file your W-2 Form.

Form 1099-MISC Filing Information

As an employer, if you hired an independent contractor and paid them more than $600 in wages in exchange for their services, you are responsible for issuing them a Form 1099-MISC. This form is due to the recipient by January 31 and must be e-filed by April 2. Information needed to file is as follows:

• Payer Details: Name, EIN, and Address
