bbb Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I know I did this last year, but I can't seem to find the W2/W3 forms that you can fill in online and the print out. I'm not looking to file online, just fill and print and give to my secretary and mail in. All I'm finding are the efile kind or one that looks like a W2 paper version, but they warn you not to use that because it won't scan for them and they'll penalize you.

bbb Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Irs.gov has fillable forms. This is what I'm finding there. It says it can't be used: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw2.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well, that's strange. Sorry, I don't have any other answers. Yeah, it turns out they just are not online. I could have sworn I did it that way last year. Of course, it would help if I wasn't doing this right before the deadline. And, what would really help is if they just mailed them like they always did.....So, they don't mail them and they don't have it online. Ridiculous.

KD in CA Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 IIRC, you need to ask them to mail you the official forms if you want to do it manually. The IRS is really trying to push employers to file them electronically. What's wrong with efiling the w-2s? It's so easy, especially if you only have a small # to process.

bbb Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 But, you're right - that's what I'm getting - that they are pushing the efiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 From your link: To order official IRS forms, call 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676) or Order Information Returns and Employer Returns Online, and we'll mail you the scannable forms and other products. If that fails, you can contact your local IRS office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that might be good to know for next year, but not for this year since they are due by 1/31, and my secretary really wanted hers over the weekend.

How about this: W-2 Online - Complete up to 20 Forms W-2 right on your computer, electronically submit them to Social Security and print copies suitable for distribution to your employees. No software is needed. http://www.socialsecurity.gov/employer/how.htm#paper A link in there leads to here: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/bso/bsowelcome.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like every other payroll thing I ever have to do..........I will take the time to enroll in these for next year, but I was just trying to do it simple and quick with no enrolling and all that. I just got back from out of town and she put me under the gun to give her this right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to these instructions, time frame is immediate. http://www.socialsecurity.gov/employer/05-10033.pdf Your user ID is displayed to you upon completion of registration, and you create your own password. Once you have your user ID and password, you can immediately access the system (i.e file a W2). Now, whether or not you have all the information needed to complete the registration...

Here's one I use for the NFP I keep the books on: https://www.efileforbusiness.com/customer-login.asp You simply register wtih your EIN# and select the appropriate forms (W-2 in your case). The efile happens and the secretary (and presumably you) get a hard copy mailed to her/you. It takes five minutes. Yep, that is called the wage theft prevention act. I work for patches, so we are making sure all of our clients are aware of thus legislation in NY, because we can foresee the department of labor doing some auditing of personnel files this year. Fine is pretty steep too. Yet another ridiculous and useless piece of legislation that does nothing but drive up the cost of doing business in NYS.
