In the recently released, Working Draft Directive 09-XX, Requirements for Employers Filing Year-end Withholding Information, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) proposes changes to the definition of “machine-readable form”. Employers who file fifty or more Forms W-2 in a calendar year are required to file them in machine-readable form. For 2009 and later, the definition of machine-readable form will no longer include diskette, magnetic tape, or cartridge 18-track magnetic media. Filing must be done through WebFile for Business or electronic data transfer. Contact Vision Payroll if you have any questions on the proposed changes.
