Learn More About Form W-2

WHAT is a W-2?

Form W2 reports earnings and withholdings for an employee of a business. A W2 form must be provided to the employee and a copy mailed or e-filed to the SSA (Social Security Administration).

WHY do I file a W-2?

The IRS requires that all income is reported by businesses and individuals for tax purposes. Failure to do so can result in penalties.

WHERE do I file a W-2?

Filetaxes.com is easiest - we do all the work for you and everything is SSA approved! If you prefer to print and mail copies yourself, you must file a copy with the SSA and mail copies to each employee. Start Filing W-2>>
