Help In Preparing Your W2 Forms
Yes, I know it is only July, but now is the time to prepare for filing your 2008 W2 forms. If you are tired of filing in those forms by hand, there is help. The Social Security Administration has an online option for filing your W2s. Follow the link above for instructions on how to sign up. You can file up to 20 W2s online. The program will even fill in your W3. You can log in and out and when you are ready you can finalize your W3.
It will even file your W2/W3 online and allow you to print out copies to keep for your records and copies to give your employees. Even if you only have a few to complete this is so much easier than doing them by hand. There is no fee for this service, but you should go ahead and sign up now. Avoid the winter rush to sign up.
You will have to sign up and wait for a pin number to come in the mail. Once the pin number comes in the mail you will be able to go online and complete and file your W2s.
If you are a CPA/Accountant or Enrolled Agent, you can get one sign in for all your clients and do each of your clients online. Visit this link for more information on the options for tax professionals.
