Mandatory Tax Forms For Your Trucking Employees
We have an important notice for you, trucking nation! January 31st is a huge tax deadline day. We know you’re pretty busy right now fighting winter storms, but you can’t miss these tax due dates or you will have major penalties to face.
On January 31 not only do you need to complete your 4th quarter IFTA return, but you also need to file Form W-2, issue copies to your employees, and send copies of Form 1099-MISC to your independent contractors. That sounds like a lot, but filing these tax forms is pretty easy with the help of our sister product, TaxBandits.
Mandatory Tax Forms For Your Trucking Employees
You have to file Form W-2 annually with the Social Security Administration and issue copies to each of your employees by the January 31st deadline. Form W-2 is used to report the amount of income, social security, and Medicare tax withheld from all compensations and income offered to your employees.
You are only required to file Form W-2 for employees who you have paid $600 or more to in wages during the tax period. It’s important to issue your employees their W-2 Form copy by the deadline because they need it to file their personal income tax returns.
Form 1099-MISC
Form 1099-MISC is used to report miscellaneous income such as payments made to an independent contractor. An independent contractor is classified as someone who performs services for a business who isn’t treated as it’s employee.
