SSA Changes to Business Services Online Registration Process
With the introduction of the Taxpayer First Act, the SSA’s Business Services Online has changed the registration process.
The Taxpayer First Act, became Public Law 116-25 in July 2019, requires more employers to file W-2s or W-2Cs electronically. At this time, the IRS has not yet issued formal regulation on the implementation, below is the tentative schedule:
- By midnight on January 31, 2022, employers who file 100 or more W-2s or W-2Cs will have to send W-2s or W-2Cs to SSA electronically.
- By midnight on January 31, 2023, employers who file 10 or more W-2s or W-2Cs will have to send W-2s or W-2Cs to SSA electronically.
When the IRS issues formal guidance on implementing this new law, the above date may change. The IRS has the authority to penalize any employer who does not file electronically if they meet the threshold.
Please Note: Businesses should register with Business Services Online before Form W-2 reporting season in January to ensure compliance prior to submitting Forms W-2.
