Most small business owners know that they need to distribute their business’s 2014 W-2 forms to their employees before the end of January. But did you know that you also need to supply other year-end employee notices, too?
Annually, you should review all requirements concerning Federal and state employee notification reports, especially those containing supplemental tax information for your employees. You should prepare and distribute any mandatory reports to your employees to help them fulfill their personal tax filing obligations.
