This week\u2019s question comes from Jason, an HR director. We mailed a Form W-2<\/a> to an employee who terminated employment during 2009. The Form W-2<\/a> was returned by the post office with no forwarding address. What should we do with a returned Form W-2<\/a>? Answer: If the post office returns a Form W-2<\/a> as undeliverable, the employer should keep a copy of the Form W-2<\/a> until April 15 of the fourth year after the year of issue. Therefore, an undeliverable Form W-2<\/a> for 2009 should be kept until April 15, 2013. An undeliverable Form W-2<\/a> should not be sent to the Social Security Administration (SSA). Employers who can store electronically and reproduce an undeliverable Form W-2<\/a> need not keep the undelivered form. Customers of Vision Payroll<\/a> need not keep copies since they can be reproduced from their ViewChoice CD. We recommend two copies of the ViewChoice CD with one stored on-site for easy access and one stored off-site for disaster recovery. Contact Vision Payroll<\/a> if you have further questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
