Where to mail w 2

The W-2 form is an important document that reports an employee's annual wages and taxes withheld to the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Here's where to mail your W-2 form:

For the Social Security Administration (SSA):

• You don't need to mail a copy of the W-2 form to the SSA. The SSA receives W-2 forms electronically from employers and uses this information to update employee records.
• However, if you're an employer with fewer than 250 employees, you can file your W-2 forms electronically with the SSA through the Business Services Online (BSO) system.

For the Internal Revenue Service (IRS):

• You must file a copy of the W-2 form with the IRS by January 31st of each year. You can file electronically or by mail.
• To file electronically, you'll need to use the Electronic Filing Taxpayer Identification Number (EFIN) and the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS).
• To file by mail, you can send the W-2 forms to the IRS at the following address:
  • Internal Revenue Service
  • Attn: W-2 Filing
  • 310 Lowry Pkwy SE
  • Minneapolis, MN 55425-0115

For state and local authorities:

• You may also need to file a copy of the W-2 form with your state's unemployment insurance agency or other state authorities. Check with your state's labor department or unemployment insurance agency for specific filing requirements.

Remember to keep a copy of the W-2 form for your records and provide a copy to your employees.
