Form W-2, also known as the Wage and Tax Statement, is a form issued by employers to report wages paid to their employees and the amount of taxes withheld from those wages. It is used to provide information to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about an employee's income and taxes paid.
Employers are required to issue Forms W-2 to their employees no later than January 31st of the following year. However, if an employee requests a copy of their form by January 31st, the employer must provide it by that date.
A substitute Form W-2 is a copy of the original Form W-2 that employers may issue when they do not have access to the IRS e-file system. It must include all of the same information as the official form and be in a format approved by the IRS.
A Form W-2c, also known as the Corrected Wage and Tax Statement, is used to correct errors or omissions on a previous Form W-2. It is issued by employers when they discover that an error was made in reporting an employee's wages or taxes withheld.
An EIN, or Employer Identification Number, is a unique number assigned by the IRS to businesses for tax purposes. A TIN, or Taxpayer Identification Number, refers to any of several different identification numbers issued by the IRS, including the EIN.
A Form 1099-MISC reports various types of non-employee compensation, such as rent, royalties, prizes, and awards. It is used by payers to report payments made to independent contractors or other recipients who are not considered employees.
