What are my options for filing wage reports electronically?
You have three options to file wage reports electronically. You can:
-
Upload an original or corrected wage report – You must format the software you use to create reports uploaded to Social Security according to the Specifications for Filing Forms W-2 Electronically (EFW2/EFW2C). Check the format with the AccuWage test tool before to submitting it.
-
W-2 Online - Complete up to 20 Forms W-2 right on your computer, electronically submit them to Social Security and print copies suitable for distribution to your employees. No additional software is needed. This option is ideal for the small employer.
-
W-2c Online – Complete up to five Forms W-2c on your computer, electronically submit them to Social Security and print copies suitable for distribution to your employees. No additional software is needed. You can use W-2c Online to file your correction report even if you filed the original W-2 on paper.
You can find more detailed information about electronic filing in the Business Services Online Electronic W-2 Filing Handbook.
