What is a State W-2 form?

A state W-2 form is a wage and tax statement that employers are required to submit to the relevant state tax department and provide a copy to their employees. It details employees’ earnings and state taxes withheld during the year. This state-specific form ensures employees can accurately file their state income tax returns.

Which states require W-2 filings?

Most states require W-2 filings. In states with a state income tax, employers must file Form W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) for their employees, along with any additional forms needed by the state.

However, states such as Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming do not have state W-2 filing requirements due to the absence of state income taxes.

What happens if I miss the state W-2 filing deadline?
