IRS changes W-2 & 1099 filing deadlines In an effort to prevent fraud,  The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015   was passed by Congress and signed by President Obama in December 2015. One key provision revises the filing deadline for Form W-2 and certain types of Form 1099.  What's Changing? Until now, employers had two dates to keep in mind when remitting W-2's: January 31, to provide employee copies, and February 28, for paper filings submitted to the Social Security Administration (March 31 for electronic filings).
