Form
W-3
Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements
2019
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Send this entire page with the entire Copy A page of Form(s) W-2 to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Photocopies are not acceptable. Do not send Form W-3 if you filed electronically with the SSA.
Do not send any payment (cash, checks, money orders, etc.) with Forms W-2 and W-3.
Reminder
Separate instructions. See the 2019 General Instructions for Forms
W-2 and W-3 for information on completing this form. Do not file Form
W-3 for Form(s) W-2 that were submitted electronically to the SSA.
Purpose of Form
Complete a Form W-3 Transmittal only when filing paper Copy A of
Form(s) W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. Don't file Form W-3 alone. All
paper forms must comply with IRS standards and be machine readable.
Photocopies are not acceptable. Use a Form W-3 even if only one
paper Form W-2 is being filed. Make sure both the Form W-3 and
Form(s) W-2 show the correct tax year and Employer Identification
Number (EIN). Make a copy of this form and keep it with Copy D (For
Employer) of Form(s) W-2 for your records. The IRS recommends
retaining copies of these forms for four years.
E-Filing
The SSA strongly suggests employers report Form W-3 and Forms W-2
Copy A electronically instead of on paper. The SSA provides two free
e-filing options on its Business Services Online (BSO) website.
• W-2 Online. Use fill-in forms to create, save, print, and submit up to
50 Forms W-2 at a time to the SSA.
• 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-2 Electronically (EFW2).
W-2 Online fill-in forms or file uploads will be on time if submitted by
January 31, 2020. For more information, go to www.SSA.gov/bso. First
time filers, select “Register”; returning filers select “Log In.”
