Make Filing Form W-2 Easy
In case you need a little refreshing, Form W-2 serves as an annual statement that provides a list of all income and compensations offered to employees that had income, Medicare, and social security tax withheld during the year. Your employees need this information to complete their personal income tax returns.
If you fail to file Form W-2 or issue copies to your workers by the deadline you will have penalties to face. For example, failure to file by the deadline results in a penalty of $30 per W-2 Form. After 30 days this penalty grows to $60 per form, with a maximum penalty of $500 or $200 for small business owners.
Then after August 1st, the penalty rises to $100 per return with a maximum penalty of $500 for small businesses and $1,500 for others. A small business is one with $5 million or less in gross receipts for the 3 most recent tax years.
