Report Employee Wages Online

This is a short podcast that is intended to help small Florida business owners with utilizing a free tool from the Social Security Administration (SSA). Florida business owners can use this tool to record employee wages – eliminating the need for paperwork.

Ron Johnson of the Small Business Administration interviews Chuck Liptz from the SSA.

Highlights from the podcast interview:

Ron Johnson: I understand there is a way to file W-2s
online. How does this work?

Chuck Liptz: Actually, there are two different ways to do
it. If you have a software package that puts your W-2s in the
format that Social Security can read, then you can go to our
website www.ssa.gov/employer and use what is known as Business Services Online and you can upload your W-2 files straight to us for free.

The other way is a free product that we have called W-2
Online. It is the same website at www.ssa.gov/employer. And
what you can do is the W-2 Online actually looks like a W-2
form, then you would be able to key the information in just as
you would type it in on a W-2 or handwrite it but you do it
right on our website. You can also generate the piece of
paper, W-2s, to give to your employees but you would not need
to send those papers to Social Security. You can just press a
button and send it to us electronically. It is all free.
