BEST PRACTICES Training: SentricWorkforce Online Tax Forms

Test the process and email communications by only releasing the W-2s of yourself and a few other key members. Go through consenting and removing consent, as well as viewing your W-2(s) to make sure you understand the process for your employees.

While employees can consent to receive their W-2 electronically, Sentric will still produce a paper copy for all employees paid in 2015.

If you plan to mail the W-2s, remind employees to verify their primary address in SentricWorkforce ESS or on their pay statement. If address changes are a routed task within ESS, make sure to provide employees a reasonable deadline to allow time for approval.

REMINDERS Training: SentricWorkforce Online Tax Forms

1.4.16 Due to tax deposit restrictions and year-end processing, January 4th is the last day to process a 2015 payroll and still make timely tax deposits. 1.5.16 Sentric will start processing 2015 W-2s and 4th quarter returns. Week of 1.11.16 Look out for the communication from us that you may publish and release your online W-2s. Also, we expect to ship all employer copies of 4th quarter returns and employee W-2 forms. All employee W-2 forms will be shipped directly to your office for distribution. 2.1.16 Furnish Copies B, C, and 2 to each person who was your employee during 2015.
