As many business owners know, the beginning of the new year means it’s time to send out W-2 forms. Form W-2 details wages paid to employees and taxes (income and FICA) withheld from those wages during the previous tax year. Employers must send copies of completed W-2 to the Social Security Administration, local and state tax offices if applicable, and to their employees by January 31st, 2018. Employees will use their W-2 to fill out sections of their Form 1040 tax return related to earned income.

What about the W-2C and W-2G?
Forms W-2C and W-2G are both related to the regular W-2, though in very different ways. Employers complete a Form W-2C if the original W-2 submitted to the SSA contained incorrect information. W-2C must be filled out and submitted to the SSA as soon as any W-2 mistakes are discovered.
In the same way that the W-2 reports wage income, Form W-2G reports winnings from various types of gambling, such as slot machines or horse racing. W-2G also reports federal tax withheld from those winnings. Casinos and other organizations that conduct gambling activities must fill out a W-2G and provide a copy to the winner, as well as to the IRS.
If you need to correct mistakes made on a W-2, you can use PDFfiller to instantly fill Form W-2C online, or report gambling winnings by filling out Form W-2G online.
