Forms W-2 and 1099

Form W-2 is an annual federal tax form that's issued by employers and reports employee wages for the year. Employees use the info to file their personal tax returns.

As part of your Intuit Full Service Payroll, we'll prepare your employees' W-2s, file them with the government agencies, and mail them directly to your employees.

W-2 forms are mailed to employees by USPS from January 20 through January 31.

W-2 forms will be available in your product starting January 1.

Employer copies are not mailed and can only be accessed in your product.

Your employees will receive four copies of their W-2 form on standard, perforated W-2 stock. Detailed filing instructions for employees are printed on the back of the forms.

• Copy B: one copy
• Copy C: one copy
• Copy 2: two copies (some employees may need to file to multiple state and local agencies)

In some cases, employees have more data and need more than one page of their W-2 form. For example, if an employee is subject to more than two local taxes, has more than two items in Box 14, or more than four items in Box 12.

You can print another copy using plain or perforated W-2 paper:

1. Click the Tax Records tab.
2. Click W-2 Copies B, C & 2.
3. Print the W-2 form for the specific employee. The W-2 employee instructions will print with Copy B.
4. Write Reissued Statement at the top of the W-2 form.

All employee W-2 forms are mailed by January 31 to the resident address in the employee's profile.

If your employee hasn't received their W-2 form within 7 business days of January 31, you can print the employee copies from within your account:

1. Click the Tax Records tab.
2. Click W-2 Copies B, C & 2.
3. Print the W-2 form for the specific employee. The W-2 employee instructions will print with Copy B.
4. Write Reissued Statement at the top of the W-2 form.

We recommend verifying the employee's address in their profile or attempting to contact the employee directly.

As the employer, you must make a good-faith effort to deliver the W-2 form and keep the W-2 copies on file for up to 4 years.

Form 1099-MISC is an annual federal tax form that's issued by businesses with independent contractors who were paid more than $600 for the calendar year. Contractors use the info to file their tax returns.
