IRS Accuracy Penalties Apply to Forms W-2
Employers file Forms W-2 to the SSA annually. Because Form W-2 is an IRS tax form, IRS information reporting penalties apply under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Sections 6721 and/or 6722 for failure to file and furnish, respectively, correct Information Returns by the required due date. Penalties may apply if an employer:
- Fails to file timely
- Fails to include all information required to be shown on Form W-2
- Includes incorrect information on Form W-2 (including employee name and/or SSN that don’t match government databases)
