Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions about W2 Forms
How do I generate a W-2 form for my employees?
To generate a W-2 form in PayStubsKit, access your account and select the W-2 section. Input the necessary employee information, including wages, tax withholdings, and any other relevant details for the tax year. Verify all the data for accuracy, then proceed to generate the W-2 form. You can print the form directly from the platform or save it as a PDF and distribute it to your employees. We currently do not offer the option to file electronically.
When should I start preparing W-2 forms?
It's best to start preparing W-2 forms early:
- Begin gathering necessary information in December.
- Aim to have all data ready by early January.
- The IRS deadline is typically January 31st for both employee distribution and filing.
- Starting early helps identify and resolve any discrepancies in payroll data.
What are the deadlines for submitting W-2 forms?
The deadline for submitting W-2 forms to both the IRS and employees is January 31st following the end of the tax year you are reporting. It's crucial to adhere to this deadline to avoid penalties and ensure your employees have adequate time to file their tax returns.
How can I correct errors on a W-2 form after filing?
If errors are found after filing a W-2 form, you must submit a corrected form, known as a W-2c. PayStubsKit currently does not allow you to easily create and submit W-2c forms.
Can I electronically file W-2 forms with the IRS through PayStubsKit?
No, PayStubsKit does not support electronic filing (e-filing) of W-2 forms directly to the IRS.
What information do I need to fill out a W-2 form?
To accurately complete a W-2 form, you'll need the employee's Social Security Number, total annual wages, federal income tax withheld, Social Security wages, Social Security tax withheld, Medicare wages, and Medicare tax withheld. You may also need to report contributions to retirement plans, dependent care benefits, and other benefits.
How can PayStubsKit help ensure compliance with tax laws for W-2 and 1099 forms?
PayStubsKit is designed to stay up-to-date with the latest tax laws and guidelines, ensuring that all W-2 and 1099 forms generated meet IRS compliance standards. The platform automatically updates calculations and forms according to the latest tax codes and regulations.
Is electronic filing of W-2 and 1099 forms supported by PayStubsKit?
As noted previously, PayStubsKit does not support the electronic filing (e-filing) of both W-2 and 1099 forms directly to the IRS and state tax authorities.
Can I generate multiple W-2 or 1099 forms at once using PayStubsKit?
Yes, PayStubsKit allows for the batch generation of W-2 and 1099 forms, making it efficient for employers to handle year-end tax documents for multiple employees or contractors simultaneously.
What are the penalties for late submission of W-2 and 1099 forms?
Late submission of W-2 and 1099 forms can result in penalties ranging from $50 to $270 per form, depending on how late the forms are filed. The maximum penalty can vary based on company size and the nature of the delay.

What's the difference between W-2 and 1099 forms?
Key differences between W-2 and 1099 forms:
- W-2 is for employees; 1099 is for independent contractors.
- W-2 reports wages and salaries; 1099 reports various types of income.
- W-2 shows taxes withheld; 1099 generally doesn't (contractors responsible for own taxes).
- Employers pay part of Social Security and Medicare taxes for W-2 employees.
- W-2 is issued annually; 1099 can be issued for one-time payments.
PayStubsKit does not offer any guidance to determine which form is appropriate based on worker classification.
Can I import data from my payroll system to create W-2 forms?
No, PayStubsKit currently does not support data import for W-2 creation.
How do I distribute W-2 forms to my employees?
Options for W-2 distribution through PayStubsKit:

- Print and mail: Generate print-ready PDFs for mailing.
What do I do if an employee loses their W-2 form?
You can always edit and/or download the previously generated forms at no additional charge.
If an employee loses their W-2:
- Use PayStubsKit to quickly generate a replacement W-2
- Clearly mark the new form as "REISSUED STATEMENT"
- Provide the replacement to the employee at no charge
- Advise the employee to wait for the replacement before filing taxes
- If it's close to the tax deadline, provide Form 4852 (Substitute W-2) information.
PayStubsKit retains W-2 data, making it easy to reproduce lost forms.
Can PayStubsKit e-file my W-2 forms with the IRS?
No, PayStubsKit does not offer e-filing services for W-2 forms.
Note that e-filing is mandatory for businesses submitting 250 or more W-2 forms.
How do I correct a mistake on a W-2 form?
Feel free to use the "Edit" functionality to make modifications to the W-2s.
However, if you have already distributed the form to your employee, and they have submitted the form to the IRS, to correct a W-2 form mistake:
- Generate a new W-2c (Corrected Wage and Tax Statement) using PayStubsKit.
- Enter the original incorrect information and the corrected information.
- Provide copies of the W-2c to the affected employee.
- File the W-2c with the Social Security Administration.
- If necessary, file an amended return (Form 941-X) for incorrect tax withholdings.
Unfortunately, PayStubsKit's system currently does not guide you through this process to ensure accuracy. You are responsible for ensuring the data is accurately inputted.
Introduction:
As an employer, you understand the importance of providing accurate and timely W2 forms to your employees. The W2 form, also known as the Wage and Tax Statement, is a critical document that reports an employee’s annual wages and the amount of taxes withheld from their paychecks. Failing to provide W2 forms or submitting incorrect information can lead to serious consequences, including penalties and fines from the IRS.
That’s where PayStubsKit.com’s W2 Generator comes in. Our powerful, user-friendly platform simplifies the process of creating and distributing W2 forms, ensuring compliance with federal and state tax regulations. With our W2 Generator, you can save time, reduce errors, and streamline your year-end tax reporting.
The Importance of Accurate W2 Forms
Accurate W2 forms are essential for both employers and employees. For employers, W2 forms are a crucial component of tax compliance. The information reported on W2 forms is used to determine an employer’s tax liability and to ensure that they have withheld the correct amount of taxes from their employees’ paychecks.
For employees, W2 forms are necessary for filing their individual tax returns. The information on the W2 form is used to report an employee’s annual income and to claim any applicable tax credits or deductions. Inaccurate or missing W2 forms can delay an employee’s tax filing and potentially result in penalties or interest charges.
PayStubsKit.com’s W2 Generator ensures that your W2 forms are accurate, complete, and compliant with the latest tax regulations. By using our platform, you can have peace of mind knowing that you are providing your employees with the correct information they need to file their taxes.
Simplify Your Year-End Tax Reporting
Year-end tax reporting can be a daunting and time-consuming task for employers. Gathering employee information, calculating wages and taxes, and preparing W2 forms for each employee can take hours, if not days. PayStubsKit.com’s W2 Generator simplifies this process, allowing you to create and distribute W2 forms quickly and easily.
Our platform integrates with your existing payroll system, automatically importing employee information and calculating wages and taxes. With just a few clicks, you can generate W2 forms for all of your employees, saving you valuable time and reducing the risk of errors.

When employees receive their W2 forms on time and without errors, they are more likely to have a positive view of their employer and to feel valued and respected.
On the other hand, delayed or incorrect W2 forms can lead to frustration, anxiety, and even mistrust among employees. This can have a negative impact on employee morale and productivity, and may even lead to increased turnover.
