Form W-3c - Transmittal of Corrected
Wages & Tax Statements

What is Form W3c?

• Form W-3c is the transmittal form used to summarize corrected wage and tax information. It typically accompanies one or more W-2c forms when submitting corrections to the Social Security Administration (SSA). The W-3c provides a total of all the corrected information from the W-2c forms and must be included whenever W-2c forms are submitted to the SSA.
• Individuals who are paper filing W-2c Forms need to file W-3c for transmitting the Copy A of the Form W-2c. Now even if there is only a single paper W-2c form that is filed, the W-3c is still needed. In addition, you don't need to file the W-3c Form for the W-2c Forms which were submitted electronically to the SSA.

Form W3c will get auto-generated while you correct your W2 forms with our e-filing software.

When is the Deadline for filing Form W-3c?

Form W-3c needs to be submitted as soon as possible with Form W-2c after an error is discovered. The deadline for filing Form W-2 and W-3 is January 31. If you fail to file your W-2 forms by January 31, you may face W-2 penalties. However, corrections made on W-2c and W-3c forms do not have a specific deadline and should simply be filed promptly to avoid any issues with employee tax records.
