Kinda funny that W-2s still go out by mail every year, even though now everyone just goes and grabs the digital copies.

BUT this is because the IRS is not playing around about a worker’s right to get their W-2 (or 1099).

You get a paper copy sent to you because your employer is legally obligated to, unless they get your explicit consent to only receive it digitally. These paper copies must be either in your hands or at least postmarked by 1/31.

The only excuse for not getting you your tax forms is something like unforeseeable natural disaster.

Losing access to the system they paid you out of does not count. You having issues accessing the online system is THEIR problem, and they have to work to give you access.

You have the rights here—not your employer.

#fun year-end payroll and tax facts #also if they file W-2s late the penalties are accessed PER W-2 and can really start to add up #if your employer screwed up and your W-2 is wrong I am so sorry #at this time of year it will almost certainly be 10-12 weeks before you will get a W-2c #don’t file with the original incorrect W-2 in an attempt to not get in trouble with the IRS #because that will leave YOU having to amend your tax returns down the line #if you need a W-2 from a previous year then your employer/former employer should still have it #they are legally required to retain these records for at least 4 years #and no…relying on them to still be in ADP or Paychex or Paycom or wherever doesn’t count #just want folks to know their rights
