An Introduction to W2 Form State Filings

W-2 Form, Wage and Tax Statement, is where employers report employees’ annual earnings and taxes withheld at the end of each year. The employer is required to send a copy of the completed W-2 to the SSA, the employees, and possibly any states for whom state taxes were withheld. Those employers filing over 250 forms to the SSA must file W2 forms online.

How do I file my W-2s with my state?

Depending on the state, you may be required to file with additional information, electronically, or not at all. No two states are the same.


Am I required to file my W-2s with my 1099s to my state?

Some states required that Form W-2 and 1099 to be submitted using the same type of form but with different copies to differentiate between the submissions. Some states allow for all form filing in one submission, and some states have different forms for submitting W-2s and 1099s.
