What is W-2 form?

A W-2 form is a wage and tax statement. It's a form that must be completed by employers on behalf of their employees. So if you employ anyone, this is something you have to do every year, for every employee.

Who needs these forms?

According to the IRS, there are clear and specific conditions that apply to W-2 forms, as follows:

They apply to employers engaged in trade or business.
They must be filed for employees who receive $600 or more from you in a year, including non-cash payments.
You must complete the form even if the employee is related to you.
You don't need to complete W-2 forms for independent contractors (use form 1099 instead).
They apply to employees for whom income, social security or Medicare tax was withheld.
They also apply when income tax would have been withheld if an exemption didn't apply.

What are the deadlines for filing W-2 form?

1 January and 31 December – the start and end of the tax year.
31 January – the deadline for submitting an employee's W-2 form for the previous tax year.
