Don’t forget your W-2

Household employers were required to provide their employees a Form W-2 for wages paid to them in 2015 by February 1st.  If you haven’t already done this yet, you should so so immediately.

Paper filers are reminded that Copy A of all your Forms W-2, along with a Form W-3,  by February 29th.  If you miss that deadline for some reason, you can file electronically by March 31st and still not be considered late.

This will be the last tax year in which the IRS will offer this “electronic filing extension”.  President Obama recently signed legislation that will require all 2016 W-2 forms to be filed by January 31, 2017 regardless of whether the forms are filed on paper or electronically.
