Income information forms generally are required to be provided/sent to the recipients by January 31st. If January 31st falls on a weekend, the deadline is extended to the next business day. The deadline for 2008 information forms is February 2, 2009 (February 1, 2010 for 2009 returns). These information forms include Form W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) as well as the 1099 series, etc.
Form W-2 includes wage and salary information as well as federal, state, and other taxes that were withheld. This information is used by the employee when they complete their individual tax return using Form 1040. An employer must mail out the Form W-2 to employees on or before January 31. This deadline gives these taxpayers about 2 months to prepare their returns before the April 15 income tax due date. The form is also used to report FICA taxes to the Social Security Administration.
