South Dakota W-2 Form

Here’s some news on the South Dakota W-2 Form. If you’re an employer, you’ll be happy to know that these forms can now be sent through email in a PDF, portable document file. Permission is required before you can send an employee their form electronically, however. If they want the form in print that is the way they should get it. Many people probably won’t mind getting it in their inbox, though.

The IRS has stated that all employers need to pass accurate W-2 forms to employees by the last day of January 2007 recording last year income and withholdings. Either the W-2 is sent with tax returns or the Forms 4852 and 4598 have to be filled out. That final pay stub just won’t do any more, not since 2004. Nobody likes paperwork, let alone extra paperwork.

Did you remember to get the South Dakota W-2 form out to all of your workers? Anyone who files their taxes without that form has to complete additional paperwork explaining who their employers are and why they didn’t get a form. The biggest problem with getting the forms to people on time is usually incorrect addresses. In that case, the employee needs to make sure that addresses are correct if they moved last year.

Most employers are right on the money with getting the forms out. After all, it is required by law. Smaller businesses sometimes have a more difficult time getting it all finished. Depending on how many employees they have, it can be pretty time consuming. With all the technology and business software available these days, things are thankfully getting easier. Larger companies tend to outsource their payroll, so they often don’t have to worry about those forms. It certainly must take a load off the regular human resources department.
