Attention:
You may file Forms W-2 and W-3 electronically on the SSA’s

Forms W-2 and W-3 for filing with SSA. You may also print out copies for
filing with state or local governments, distribution to your employees, and
for your records.
Note: Copy A of this form is provided for informational purposes only. Copy A appears in
red, similar to the official IRS form. The official printed version of this IRS form is scannable,
but the online version of it, printed from this website, is not. Do
not print and file Copy A

penalty may be imposed for filing forms that
can’t be scanned. See the penalties section in the current
General Instructions for Forms
, for more information.
Please note that Copy B and other copies of this form, which appear in black, may be
downloaded, filled in, and printed and used to satisfy the requirement to provide the
information to the recipient.
