W-2C Outsourcing (Tax Year 2025)

Corrected Wage and Tax Statement

Outsource

Form W-2C is the Corrected Wage and Tax Statement. File Forms W-2C and W-3C (Transmittal Statement) to make corrections on previously issued W-2’s from current or prior years. Use Form W-2C to correct a variety of errors on Form W-2, including:

• Incorrect employee name or Social Security number
• Incorrect employee address
• Incorrect tax year
• Incorrect employer identification number (EIN)
• Incorrect employee earnings or tax withholdings
• Two forms for an employee were filed under an EIN when only one should have been filed
• Two forms for an employee were filed under an EIN, but the wages on one were incorrect

Outsourcing Advantages

1099FIRE can handle the entire process for you—printing, mailing, and electronically filing originals, corrections, or prior-year returns with the IRS and state agencies through the Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) program.

Assigned Representative

Each customer is paired with a dedicated representative who has 15+ years of tax filing experience, ensuring expert, personalized support.

Lower Administrative Burden

Outsourcing frees your internal resources to focus on core operations. As a result, your team saves time and avoids unnecessary stress.

No TCC or ID.me Required

We eliminate the need for Transmitter Control Codes (TCC) or IRS ID.me verification—removing common obstacles for businesses.

High-Volume & Complex Filing Support

We manage large-volume filings, multiple payers, state filings, bulk TIN matching, and more, all securely transmitted through the CF/SF program.

Custom Quotes

Every project is unique. Because of this, we provide tailored quotes instead of one-size-fits-all pricing. Call us at (480) 706-6474 to discuss your filing needs.

New Electronic Filing Mandate

The IRS now requires electronic filing of 10 or more information returns beginning with tax year 2023.

Key Requirements

If you filed a TCC application before September 26, 2021, you must reapply and verify identity through ID.me.
Paper filing is only allowed if you have 10 or fewer returns.
As a result, more companies are adopting third-party e-filing services.

Electronic Filing/Accuwage

What is AccuWage

AccuWage is a free online tool from the Social Security Administration (SSA) that tests W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) and W-2C (Corrected Wage and Tax Statement) files for formatting errors before submission.

How It Works

AccuWage checks your wage files for accuracy and generates a report identifying any errors. This ensures your file is ready to transmit to SSA through Business Services Online.

Our Software

Our W-2 software creates files in the required SSA EFW2 and EFW2C format. It follows the specifications in SSA Publication No. 42-014, Specifications for Filing Forms W-2C Electronically (EFW2C). The system is updated annually to reflect IRS and SSA changes.

Why It Matters

By preparing EFW2 or EFW2C wage files through our software, testing them in AccuWage, and then uploading through Business Services Online, you ensure compliance and reduce the risk of rejection.

I have used 1099 Fire for a number of years to prepare and file 1099 and NEC01 data for our multiple entities and highly recommend this service. It is easy to use, the data can be reviewed prior to sending and they mail the 1099/NEC's directly to the recipients, eliminating that hassle.

We did it again! We have been using 1099Fire to generate our 1094’s and 1095’s since the Affordable Care Act was passed and the filings were required. The customer service is 5 stars! Dan, Amy, and Abby are always very helpful and professional. I would strongly recommend them for all your filing needs.

I'd tried a competitor but have never changed since trying 1099Fire. They PICK UP THE PHONE and help with issues. I've tried both outsourcing to them (ACA reporting) and doing it myself, using their software. I went back to outsourcing, seeing how much time it can take to fix errors, how many complications can arise, and how much the IRS can F__k you for getting this wrong. Highly recommend 1099Fire! Dan and Amy are phenomenal!
