Filing Deadline for W-2s, Form 1099-MISC and Form 1099-NEC
Please be aware that the filing deadline for all Federal W‑2s is February 2, 2026. This deadline applies whether filing paper or electronic returns.
Please make an effort to distribute these forms to employees before the end of January, so there is time to correct any potential errors before filing with the Social Security Administration.
The deadline for providing recipients with their Forms 1099‑NEC is February 2, 2026, which is the same for filing these forms with the IRS. Forms 1099‑MISC are required to be filed with the IRS by February 28, 2026, if filing by mail, or by March 31, 2026, if filing electronically.
