E-filing W-2s on secure.ssa.gov

[artp]

I have  W-2s that has been stuck on "submission" status for over 10 days. I emailed a "wage reporting expert" per the website, but have not gotten a response. Has anyone else having this issue? Or is this just "normal" processing delays.

It's a normal delay. I couldn't find information yet about this year's processing, but using last year's processing as an example, W-2s submitted after 12/20/13 weren't put into processing until 2/11/14.

 

I submitted one file already and will wait several more weeks to check on the status.

Why file so soon?  I wait till one week before the deadline.  This allows time for error correction before submission preventing the need for W-2C.  No benefit to "filing early."  I do the same for 1099s.

It was my own w-2 from my corporation, so I'm not concerned with someone coming back saying it has errors to correct.

I file now to recipients and the week before the deadline to the IRS/SSA.  There's always that call about a new address or even an error in the amount (had a husband/wife songwriting/singer team for a client; we didn't have the breakout right).

This is normal.  They will e-mail you if there is a problem with your submission.

Thanks, just was concerned that I was missing something.

I'm with Lion on those.  Amazxing how often you get at least a few calls for corrections.

Yes, the only one I've filed already was my own employee's.
