Hi there, VJ-3740.
Let's check the filing status of your 2018 W-2 form to verify why the IRS was not able to receive it on time.
Here's how:
- In the left menu, click Taxes.
- Go to the Payroll Tax tab.
- Select Filings.
- Click Archived forms and filings.
- Locate the W-2 form for 2018.
From there, you'll see the status of the form submitted. It could either be Not Transmitted, Transmitted, Accepted, or Rejected.
To understand more about the meaning of these status terms, see the below details:
- Not Transmitted: You have submitted the form. But our service has not yet transmitted it to the receiving agency.
- Transmitted: We have transmitted the form to the receiving agency. But the receiving agency has not processed the form yet. The IRS generally processes forms within a few weeks. State agencies can take anywhere from a few days to a few months.
- Accepted: The receiving agency has received and accepted the form.
- Rejected: The receiving agency has received and rejected the form. Review the rejection letter emailed to you for the specific reason.
