W-2 Deadline TODAY!

The W-2 forms due to your 2008 employees should either be in their hands or postmarked by today, February 2. Typically the deadline is January 31. However, when January 31st falls on a weekend, the next business day becomes the due date.

You must also file copies with the Social Security Administration. These are sent in later - by February 28 (March 2 this year because February 28 falls on a weekend).

Any nanny, housekeeper or maid who earned $1600 or more from a family in 2008 should be furnished a W-2 form.
