The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fhf-cpa.com\/the-new-path-act-contains-four-payroll-tax-changes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015<\/a> was signed into law last December, and among the many provisions is a new W-2 filing deadline for employers&#8217; 2016 forms. That deadline for submitting forms to the Social Security Administration (SSA) is January 31, 2017. That is also the date by which\u00a0employees must receive their own W-2 copies, which means if there are any errors on the forms, there is no time to make corrections before they need to be filed with the SSA. It should be noted that these changes apply regardless of whether an employer submits paper forms or electronic ones.<\/p>\n<p>The PATH Act also provides a safe harbor from de minimus (minor) error penalties, including relief of up to $25 for withholding errors and up to $100 for other errors.<\/p>\n<p>Household employers that do their own payroll\u00a0should begin preparing now for this new deadline, as the time frame in which to get any W-2s in order is now much shorter than it has been.<\/p>\n<p>Using a payroll service like GTM, however, removes the burden from the employers. GTM\u2019s service ensures our clients\u2019 nannies and other employees\u00a0get their W-2s on time, and that they get filed with the SSA on time as well.<\/p>\n<p><a
