Filing Deadlines — 2026
Jan 31
W-2 copies to employees + SSA e-file
DUE JAN 31
W-2 to Employees — What to do
- Go to the Delivery Status section above
- Click the email icon next to each employee — or use Email All
- Each employee gets a secure link to download their W-2 (Copy B)
- This fulfills your legal obligation to provide W-2s — even if late
Jan 31
1099-NEC copies to contractors + IRS e-file (FIRE)
DUE JAN 31
1099-NEC Filing — Two steps required
Step 1 — Send copies to contractors:
- Go to the 1099-NEC section on this page
- Click Send All 1099s — each contractor gets a secure download link by email
- Contractors without email: use the portal icon to generate a link you can text or hand-deliver
Step 2 — File with IRS:
- Click FIRE E-File above to generate the IRS upload file
- Go to fire.irs.gov → log in → File Information Returns → upload the .txt file
- IRS will give you a confirmation number — enter it back here to mark as filed
Feb 28
W-2 and 1099-NEC paper filing deadline (if not e-filing)
DUE FEB 28
Paper Filing — Only if you're NOT e-filing
If you already e-filed via FIRE (IRS) or SSA BSO (SSA), you can ignore this deadline — you're done.
Paper filing is only for employers who cannot e-file.
If you need to paper file W-2s:
- Print Copy A on official red-ink IRS W-2 paper
- Attach a printed W-3 transmittal form
- Mail to: SSA, Direct Operations Center, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18769-0001
- Must be postmarked by Feb 28, 2027
If you need to paper file 1099-NECs:
- Print 1099-NEC Copy A on official red-ink IRS paper
- Attach a printed 1096 summary form
- Mail to the IRS address on the 1096 (TX uses Austin, TX center)
- Must be postmarked by Feb 28, 2027
E-filing is faster, free, and avoids mail delays. Use FIRE E-File above instead.
Note: If you have 10 or more forms, the IRS requires e-filing — paper is not an option.
Deadlines are for the tax year 2026; forms are due in early 2027.
Hover each row for step-by-step instructions.
