• File Upload. Upload wage files to the SSA you have created using payroll or tax
software that formats the files according to the SSA’s Specifications for Filing
Forms W-2c Electronically (EFW2C).
For more information, go to www.socialsecurity.gov/employer. First time filers,
select "Go to Register"; returning filers select "Go To Log In."
