What is the W-2?
IRS Form W-2 is used to report wages paid to employees and the taxes withheld from them. An employee uses this form to prepare their personal income tax return. The employer must provide the Form W-2 to the employee by January 31. Poppins Payroll will prepare a completed W-2 to provide to your employee.
Note: We will not email or mail the W-2 to your employee. We allow you to control all correspondence with your employee and you can download or print it from your Filing Cabinet.
When will my employees get their W-2?
Poppins will prepare your employee’s W-2 in mid to late January. We will email you when we have completed the W-2 for your employee. The W-2 will be available for you to download in your Filing Cabinet>Federal Taxes. You can retrieve the W-2 by following these steps:
- Log in to your Poppins account.
- Go to your Filing Cabinet on the upper right-hand side of the screen.
- Select Federal Taxes.
- Scroll down to Year End Documents.
- Select to download the W-2.
Once you have downloaded the W-2 you can send it via email or print it and send it via snail mail to your employee. You have until January 31st to provide W-2s to your employees.
Note: If an employee requests a paper copy of their W-2 you are obligated to send them a physical paper copy
