Alert
The new tax filing deadline for both paper and electronic W-2c is now January 31st. If this date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the deadline will be the next business day.
Don’t wait until the last minute. Start filing early since Business Services Online (BSO) experiences delays when there is a high volume, especially at the end of the month.

Use AccuWage to Test Your Wage Reports before Filing with Social Security
AccuWage is Social Security's free service that allows you to test your wage reports before you upload them to Social Security. AccuWage reads the file and informs you of any formatting errors it detects. This year, we are offering an online version of AccuWage that comes with the wage-reporting roll for all registered BSO users. For those without a BSO account, the downloadable version is available.
Knowing what errors exists, and fixing them before you submit your file, can save time and eliminate the need for W-2Cs/W-3Cs.
