October 2009 Update
Changes to 2009 Form W-2 instructions
In April, 2009 the IRS announced a change to the 2009 Form W-2 instructions printed on the back of Copy B, Notice to Employee. Language in the second paragraph was updated to include new qualifying amounts for the Earned Income Credit. However, the IRS did not update the official form to incorporate this change.
As your provider of W-2 and 1099 forms, we have updated our paper and electronic documents to include the new Form W-2 instructions. You can be certain that all 2009 W-2 forms you receive from us will reflect the most current language.
To review the official IRS notice on this issue please visit the IRS website and view the April 21, 2009 posting entitled Notice – Change to earned income amounts on 2009 Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/article/0,,id=109875,00.html
We hope this information is helpful to you.
