All about W-2s

What is the W-2?

IRS Form W-2 is used to report wages paid to employees and the taxes withheld from them. An employee uses this form to prepare their personal income tax return. The employer must provide the Form W-2 to the employee by January 31. Poppins Payroll will prepare a completed W-2 to provide to your employee.

Note: We will not email or mail the W-2 to your employee, but we will email them when it's ready.

When will my employees get their W-2 and where can I find it?

Poppins will prepare your employee’s W-2 in mid-January. We will email you when we have completed the W-2 for your employee so you can download it from your account. Please follow these steps to retrieve it:

Log in to your Poppins account.
Go to the Documents section on the left-hand side of the screen.
Select Employee Documents.
Click Download next to the W-2 for your employee

Once you have downloaded the W-2 you can send it via email or print it and send it through the mail to your employee. You have until January 31st to provide W-2s to your employees.

Note: If an employee requests a paper copy of their W-2 you are obligated to send them a physical paper copy

Employees will be able to download their W-2 from their Employee Cubby when it's available!
