W2c

[Randall]

If a W2 correction has only a state amount change, do we still submit  a W3c and W2c to SSA?

If it doesn't affect the SSA, I would only correct the state.

This is why I never transmit or send W-3 forms till the end of February.  This allows time to correct mistakes and avoid W-2C and W-3C.

CT's moving it's deadlines up to 31 January!

[NECPA in NEBRASKA]

Nebraska moved theirs up to 1/31 also.

Alabama deadline is also 1/31.

This is from page three of the "Instructions for Forms W-2c and W-3c" -  Revision of April 2010 which is the latest I could find:

"Boxes 15 through 20 - State/local taxes.  If your only changes to the original Form W-2 are to state or local data, do not send Copy A of Form W-2c to the SSA.  Instead, send Form W-2c to the appropriate state or local agency and furnish copies to your employees." 

This is what the link below says - I couldn't get it pull up from inside this post (maybe you can), but that's the text.  So anyway, it looks like NECPA is right.

Virginia requires W2s by Jan. 31, or if the company goes out of business or ceases to have employees, by 30 days after the last employee payment.

Thanks all, especially Bart.  Ky is due 1/31.  I just like to get them done by 1/31 and not have that 'to do' hanging around until 2/28.  Sometimes there's a need for a change.  It's not that often.
