Magnetic Reporting of W-2's

Effective January 1, 2002 the Regional Income Tax Agency is requiring all employers issuing 250 or more W-2's in any tax year, to file on electronic media. Employers filing fewer than 250 W-2's are encouraged but are not required to remit W-2 forms electronically.

The links below outline R.I.T.A.'s specifications and designated support contacts regarding this requirement. In an effort to promote standardizations, R.I.T.A.'s specifications adhere to the SSA guidelines. (EFW2, formerly MMREF-1).
