Today is the Form W-2 and 1099 deadline but there’s no need to panic. We’re here to help. Here is an overview of the forms you may need to file and the deadlines you can meet easily with 123PayStubs. 

Form W-2

If your business has one or more employees, you need to file Form W-2 by midnight! Employers use Form W-2 to report how much they paid their employees and the amounts withheld from their employees’ paychecks for income tax, social security, and Medicare. In addition to filing Form W-2 with the SSA, February 1, 2021 is the deadline to send out copies to all your employees.

Form 1099-NEC

Form 1099-NEC is a newly released form for reporting nonemployee compensation for 2020. If you paid a nonemployee more than $600, you need to file Form 1099-NEC. These payments could be for repairs, renovations, cleaning, or anything else you hired an independent contractor or nonemployee for. You also need to send recipient copies out by February 1, 2021. 

Form 1099-MISC

Form 1099-MISC allows employers to report miscellaneous payments. Miscellaneous payments include prizes and awards, fishing boat proceeds, and more. Form 1099-MISC is not due to the IRS yet, but its recipient copies are. Employers need to send their payees a copy of this form by the end of the day!
