FYI: IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TAC) will no longer be stocking Forms W-2, W-3, and 1099's (Drop-in article)

Hello everyone,

 

FYI:  IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TAC) will no longer be stocking Forms W-2, W-3 and 1099’s. 

Please see drop-in article attached above and below.  Please let your colleagues and members know of this development.

 

Small businesses should get their blank Wage and Tax Statements forms early

 

Don’t wait until the last minute to get blank Forms W-2, W-3 or 1099. The demand for paper tax products is declining because of an increase in e-filing and the availability of products online. Due to the decreased demand and printing and shipping costs, the IRS will no longer stock Forms W-2, W-3 and 1099 in Taxpayer Assistance Centers. The forms, which are used by small business owners, can be ordered online or by telephone and mailed directly to the taxpayer’s home or business address.

 

To order online, go to the IRS’ Online Ordering for Information Returns and Employer Returns website at: https://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Online-Ordering-for-Information-Returns-and-Employer-Returns

 

To order by phone, call the IRS at: 1-800-829-3676.

 

The Social Security Administration also offers an online option to create and file electronic Forms W-2. File Forms W-2/W-2c and W-3/W-3c electronically by visiting the Social Security Administration’s Employer Reporting Instructions and Information website at: https://www.socialsecurity.gov/employer/ to create and file electronic fill-in versions of Forms W-2 and W-3.

FYI: Upcoming IRS Webinars (FBAR; Tangible Property Regulations) & update regarding San Jose Taxpayer Assistance Center

Hello Everyone,

 

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season!

 

Want to inform you there are two webinars coming up you may be interested in viewing: 

·       FBAR on January 21, 2016 from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm (PT)

·       Tangible Property Regulations webinar on January  20, 2016 from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm (PT).

Also, want to inform those of you located in the San Jose geographic area (or who have clients located in the San Jose geographic area) the IRS is expanding appointment service to another 40 Taxpayer Assistance Centers nationwide on January 11, 2016.  The San Jose Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC)  is one of those TACs.  Taxpayers requiring TAC assistance at the IRS San Jose TAC should call 1-844-545-5640 to schedule an appointment at 55 South Market Street, Suite 100, San Jose, CA  95113.  The IRS will begin taking calls January 5 for appointments starting January 11 or later.  Please note several issues taxpayers may visit an IRS TAC for could possibly be resolved at IRS.gov without traveling to an IRS office (e.g., get a tax transcript, make a payment, resolve a notice, obtain a form or publication or ask about a refund, etc.). 

 

IRS.gov offers several online options including (but not limited to):

·       Where’s My Refund?, where people can check their refund status and estimated delivery date

·       Direct Pay,  make tax payments or estimated tax payments directly from a checking or savings account
