Accelerated Filing Deadline for Forms W-2 & 1099-MISC

New January 31 Deadline for W-2 and 1099-MISC Forms

In case you haven’t heard, employers and small businesses have a new filing deadline for Form W-2 reporting wages and 1099-MISC reporting non-employee compensation. This new deadline was enacted by the PATH Act to help the IRS verify the legitimacy of tax refunds before issuing them. Beginning with the 2016 forms (e.g., those filed in 2017), Form W-2 and Form 1099-MISC must be filed with the Social Security Administration or IRS, respectively, by January 31, rather than the prior deadline of February 28 (March 31 if filing electronically). Copies must still be provided to employees and payees by January 31. Also, beginning with the 2016 forms, only one 30-day extension to file Form W-2, which isn’t automatic, will be available.

To ensure your medical practice stays compliant with these new deadlines and avoids any penalties, contact REED TINSLEY, CPA for expert guidance and support.
