Frequently asked questions

What is a W-3 transmittal form?

Form W-3 totals the wages, tips and taxes withheld reported on all of your W-2s. It accompanies paper W-2 filings sent to the Social Security Administration.

Do I need a W-3 if I file W-2s electronically?

No separate W-3 is sent when you e-file W-2s through SSA Business Services Online; the totals are generated during electronic filing.
