DRS: Secure Electronic filing of W-2 and 1099 Forms

Secure Electronic filing of W-2 and 1099 Forms
NEW Advance Information on Electronic Filing Requirements for 2009 Informational Returns  Beginning in 2009, taxpayers or preparers that file 25 or more 2008 Forms W-2, Forms W-2G, Forms 1099-R and Forms 1099-Misc must transmit informational returns electronically using DRS’s Taxpayer Service Center (TSC).
 

DRS may waive the electronic reporting requirement if an employer can show hardship. To do so, the employer must complete and submit a paper Form CT-8508, Request for Waiver from Filing Informational Returns Electronically to DRS on or before January 15, 2010. If a waiver is granted, DRS encourages the informational returns to be submitted on a CD rather than paper. DRS no longer accepts magnetic media including cartridges or cassettes.

For 2009 file layout information, go to IP 2009(17), or  IP 2009(18),  For CD filing instructions (if waiver approved), see CT-4804, Transmittal of Informational Returns Reported on CD.
