previously issued W-2's from current or prior years. Use Form W-2C to correct a variety of errors on Form W-2, including:
• Incorrect employee name or Social Security number
• Incorrect employee address
• Incorrect tax year
• Incorrect employer identification number (EIN)
• Incorrect employee earnings or tax withholdings
• Two forms for an employee were filed under an EIN when only one should have been filed
• Two forms for an employee were filed under an EIN, but the wages on one were incorrect

Outsourcing Advantages
We can print, mail and electronically file on your behalf originals or corrections for current or prior tax years to the IRS through the Combined Federal/State
program and to any specific states.
Assigned Representative: Every customer is assigned a dedicated representative who provides personalized support with at least 15 years of tax filing experience.
Reduced Administrative Burden: By outsourcing tax-related tasks, businesses can free up their internal resources to focus on core operations.
No TCC or ID.me Account Required: The service eliminates the need for obtaining Transmitter Control Codes (TCC) or verifying identity through ID.me, which can be
cumbersome for businesses.

New Electronic Filing Mandate
IRS mandates electronic filing of 10 or more information returns. The new threshold is effective for information returns beginning tax year 2023. FIRE TCC holders who submitted their TCC
application prior to September 26, 2021, must complete and submit a new application and verify their identity through ID.me, an IRS provider of sign-in services.
You can only paper file information returns to the IRS if you have 10 or fewer aggregate returns to file. If you have more than 10 information returns of any one type
(such as Forms 1099, W-2, or 1098), the IRS mandates electronic filing instead of paper filing.
More companies are moving to third party efiling solutions due to this new threshold and efiling requirements. Contact 1099FIRE at (480) 706-6474 for more information
on outsourcing solution.
Electronic Filing/Accuwage
AccuWage is an free, online internet application developed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that lets you test EFW2
(W-2 Wage and Tax Statement) and EFW2C (W-2C Corrected Wage and Tax Statement) wage files for format correctness before
submitting them to SSA. Accuwage generates an excellent report that lets you know if your file is ready to transmit to SSA or
what specific errors your file has.
Our W-2 software creates files in the format developed in SSA Pub. No. 42-014, Specifications for Filing Forms W-2C
Electronically (EFW2C). The system is updated each year to reflect the format changes that are made by the IRS. You can
prepare EFW2 or EFW2C wage files, test through Accuwage and then upload using Business Services Online.
