Catherine Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hey all -- This year I thought I would try to e-file client W-2's and 1099-MISC's instead of sending them all out on paper (recipient copies would get mailed, of course). I have sent out the signature pages to my clients (I forget the form number, starts with a 6) and even have two of them back. And my state (MA) is on the list of participants in the e-file program. Anything I should be on the lookout for? If these forms get submitted electronically to the IRS, do the W-2's also get sent off to the SSA? Or do those red-ink forms still get mailed out separately? Sorry if this rambles a bit; my nephew and his mom were here for their end-of-college-semester financial checkup and they got into an argument I ended up referree-ing. I manged not to dope-slap either of them, although they both needed it. Maybe I offended them both enough that they won't come to me for "help" anymore.

kcjenkins Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Yeah, but I bet you've wanted to do it at least twice each year you've been in the tax business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Amusing replies on my choice of terminology, but I'd still appreciate an answer on the SSA filing! Catherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 You file the SSA forms electronically too. So only thing mailed is the one to the employee and the copy to the client. You may choose to send the client their copy as a pdf, or send it both paper and pdf, is you want to cover all bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
