The statutory mission of the Iowa Department of Revenue is to serve
Iowans and support state government by collecting all taxes required by
law, but no more.
Electronic submission of W-2s and 1099s is one of the most
effective ways the Iowa Department of Revenue (IDR) can protect taxpayers from
identity theft and tax refund fraud.
Beginning with Tax Year 2016, employers with Iowa
withholding and W-2s for 50 or more employees are required to electronically
file W-2 wage statements with IDR by January 31, 2017. Employers or
service providers acting on an employer’s behalf will access IDR’s eFile &
Pay application to upload the necessary files.
W-2 wage statement filing for employers with fewer than 50
W-2s will be accepted electronically on a voluntary basis at this time.
However, beginning with Tax Year 2017, all employers with Iowa withholding will
be required to electronically file W-2 wage statements by January 31.
Also beginning with Tax Year 2017, 1099 Information Return filing for
businesses with Iowa withholding will be required and due by January 31.
Finally, in Tax Year 2017 IDR will offer a manual entry process for employers
and service providers that have less than 50 records to submit.
A free online webinar is scheduled on
December 14 from noon to 1:00 pm. The webinar will provide information about
new requirements for submitting W-2s and 1099s to the Iowa Department of
Revenue electronically. For more details or to register, please visit http://www.iasourcelink.com/resources/business-webinars/iowa-tax-webinars.
The Iowa
Department of Revenue has partnered with the Center for Business Growth and
Innovation at the University of Northern Iowa to provide free tax webinars on
IASourceLink. The presenter for this webinar is Theresa Dvorak, an
attorney with the Policy Section of the Iowa Department of Revenue.
More information on file format requirements can be found in
