The Social Security Administration receives, and processes, over 250
million W2 reports each year. W2 data can be submitted
electronically, or on paper
Forms W2. These links give you comprehensive
information on submitting your W2 data, regarding of the method that you
select. Still have questions? Contact
us!

Employee Names & Social Security Number
The employee's name and SSN reported
on the W2 must match the information contained in Social Security's records
to ensure that the worker gets proper credit for the wages paid. Social
Security offers a free verification
service to employers allowing them to confirm the SSN provided by the
employee. For a quick reference on employee name and SSN issues, pick up
"The Critical Link".

Social Security and IRS match the annual W2 and 941 totals to ensure
that the correct information has been reported. If the figures disagree,
the employer is contacted to explain the difference. Before submitting your
W2s and completing the fourth quarter 941, balance the wage and tax figures.
Correct any errors before the reports are sent to SSA and IRS. If you receive
a notice that the numbers are out of balance, please respond timely. Need
help? Contact us!
