The Easiest Way To Avoid W-2 Late Filing Penalties

Here’s the thing, the W-2 Form deadline is only a few days away. This means that you need to correctly file by the deadline to avoid facing W-2 penalties from the IRS. W-2 penalties are expensive and may lead to an audit.

You Need To Avoid W-2 Penalties

How expensive are W-2 penalties? Well, the penalty for missing the deadline is $30 per W-2 form. Then the penalty continues to grow. If your W-2 form is more than 30 days late the fee rises to $60 per W-2 Form, with a maximum fine of $500 and $200 if you operate a small business.

The longer you wait to file, the more expesnive your w-2 penalties will get.

If you fail to file by August 1st you will be penalized $100 per W-2 Form with a maximum fine of $500 for small businesses and $1,500 for others. Your business is classified as small if it has $5 million or less in gross receipts for the three most recent tax years.
