January is here, bringing with it a new tax year and (you guessed it) new tax deadlines. W-2 and 1099 filings can be especially important for smaller organizations, who can be caught unaware that failing to file these forms timely causes stiff penalties.
According to IRS’s instructions, employers must complete Form W-2, furnish a copy to employees, and send a copy of Form W-3 to the SSA by January 31st. Failing to file by the due date can cost you between $50 and $270 per W-2, depending on how late you are. Even worse, intentionally failing to provide a correct W-2 to an employee has a penalty of $540 per W-2. These penalties can add up quickly!
Are you new to filing W-2s and 1099s?
Do you need to correct a W-2 with a W-2C form?
Or are you dealing with more complex issues like Honoraria paid by a church, severance, debt forgiveness, or sabbatical compensation?
