All W-2 forms must be submitted to the PA Department of
Revenue by Jan. 31 following the year of compensation, or
30 days from the termination of business, if the business
terminated during the calendar year. An employee whose
employment is terminated before the close of a calendar
year may request, in writing, the employer to furnish him
a W-2 form at an earlier time. If there is no reasonable
expectation on the part of both employer and employee of
further employment during the calendar year, then the
employer shall furnish the W-2 form to the employee on or
before the 30th day after the date of the request, or the 30th
day after the date on which the last payment of wages is
made, whichever is later.
Any employer who willfully furnishes a false or fraudulent W-2
form, willfully fails to furnish a statement in the prescribed
manner or time or fails to show the information required is
liable for a penalty of $50 for each failure.
