This is one in a continuing series on the 2008 Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement<\/span><\/a>, which employers must generally furnish to employees no later than February 2, 2009. Forms mailed on the due date are considered furnished if properly addressed. Employers unable to meet that deadline may file a request for extension of time to furnish the forms. Today we review Box 13, checkboxes.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are three checkboxes that must be completed in certain circumstances. <\/span>First is a checkbox for statutory employees. Statutory employees are independent contractors who are legally classified as employees for certain purposes. Employers must withhold social security tax and Medicare tax from statutory employees. Employers do not withhold federal income tax from statutory employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second checkbox is for retirement plan participation. Employers must check the box for active participants in certain retirement plans. Generally, employees are active participants in defined benefit plans if they are eligible to participate for that tax year. Employees are generally active participants in defined contribution plans for any tax year that either the employer or employee makes a contribution, including forfeitures added to the employee\u2019s account.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final checkbox is for third-party sick pay. This box is used either by payers of third-party sick pay filing on behalf of an insured or by employer\u2019s reporting payments made by the insurer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The checkbox for deceased employees was eliminated after the year 2000 reporting period and is no longer required.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next topic in this continuing series will be Box 14, other. Contact Vision Payroll<\/span><\/a> with any questions on the 2008 Form W-2<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
