You must get a W-2 to every employee by Friday January 31st. You will also need to file this form with various government agencies by certain deadlines that are determined by your filing method (electronic or paper).
A common mistake is mismatching names and Social Security numbers. This results in earnings not being properly credited to employees and problems with Social Security payments. Mismatching is so common that the Social Security Administration runs a toll-free Employee Verification Service at 1-800-772-6270.
Other problems are easier to avoid. Do not write dollar signs in the boxes. Government optical scanners often read them as eights. Using a font that is too large or too light is a common mistake. Stick with 12-point Courier. Also, one IRS Section Chief suggests placing the numbers in the middle of the boxes.
