What are the W-2 copies an employee will receive?

As mandated by the IRS, employers must issue three copies of Form W-2 to their employees: Copy C for their personal records, Copy B for their federal tax return, and Copy 2 for their state tax return. These copies must be sent to employees by January 31 each year. You can download the recipient copies from the ‘Print Forms’ menu and mail them to employees.
