New W-2 Filing Requirements 2025

[eisnercpa429]

There is a new requirement when filing W-2s in 2025. How do we get the W-2s from EasyACCT/Info Return System to show the contact email address?

Just add it to the company information. This has not been a problem for us.

I did but the email address is not showing up, only the name and phone number

I'm sorry, it is working for us. We have filed 59 company's w2's and have not had a reject except for the first one because we did not have the email. We added it to the company information and all company's since then and have not had a reject for email.

What I decided to do after installing the 25-26 program on my computer and having all the problems was to not update any other computers with that piece of crap. So I have one computer with the 25-26 program on it and the other 4 computers are still running the 24-25 program. After I have all the 25 payroll on my 4 computers I back it up and put it in the new crap software computer and update to the 25-26 and transfer that w2/1099 to the 25/26 information return system and submit that data file. I will update the other computers when all the problems are fixed. We are printing 2026 checks using the 24/25 software.

I add the email address to the company info. It doesn't show up on W-2s or 1099s, but you can still transmit them as long as there is something in that field.

Got it, that worked. Thank you.
