I used turbotax to e-file our W-2s however after submitting them the W-3 appeared in a print only version.
So do we print and mail the W-3 with a copy of the W-2's submitted?
Or
Has this been also been E-filed with the submittal of the W-2's ?
When we have used the BSO site at SSA we have to fill out and submit both electronically.
No such confirmation for W-3 appeared when submitted the W-2's
This should be cleared up in the program
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
The instructions for Form W-3 say:
Do not file Form W-3 for Form(s) W-2 that were submitted electronically to the SSA.
Complete a Form W-3 transmittal only when filing paper Copy A of Form(s) W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. Don't file Form W-3 alone.
I saw those same instructions on the printable W-3 form that Turbo Tax generated.
However I've always had to fill out an electronic W-3 at the SSA's BSO account even when we filed W-2s there electronically for the last 5 years.
So are you saying that No W-3 filing is ever required by the IRS if we have submitted W-2's online thru TurboTax?
Can you confirm that is the case?
Yes. You do not need to file form W-3 if your forms W-2 are e-filed.
Still have questions?
