As the tax deadlines approach, it's important for businesses to track key state e-file deadlines for W-2, 1099, and 1095 forms. While federal deadlines are consistent, state deadlines vary, requiring businesses to stay organized to avoid penalties.

3 Tips for Staying on Track:

1. Check State Deadlines: Verify W-2, 1099, and 1095 deadlines and requirements for the states where your business, employees, or contractors operate.

1. Use Complete E-File Tools: An all-inclusive e-filing program may be available through your software. Tools like this will simplify submission to federal and state agencies, as well as recipient delivery.

They handle the printing, mailing and electronic delivery of recipient copies for you.

1. Start Early: Early preparation prevents last-minute issues and errors.
