W-2/W-3
•Forms W-2 for Tax Year 2010 must be distributed to employees before February 1, 2011.

•You do not need to mail paper copies of the forms W-2/W-3 to Social Security when you file online. By using the Forms W-2/W-3 Online to create your W-2s and W-3s, you have already provided the forms to Social Security.

W-2/W-3c

Using Forms W-2c/W-3c Online does not relieve employers of the obligation to provide corrected annual wage statements to employees and state/local jurisdictions. Forms W-2c for any tax year must be distributed to employees as soon as possible.
