Nevada Information Returns - Form W-2 & 1099

Federal Forms 1098, 1099, W-2, and W-3 are tax documents used for reporting both federal and state tax withholding, though some states require additional forms to be submitted. The Nevada Department of Revenue DOES require additional
forms to be filed.

Every employer is required to file Form W-2 for wages, tips, or any other applicable compensation of $600
or more that either:

  • Income, social security, or Medicare tax was withheld
  • Non-resident contractors (for contracts exceeding $10,000.00)
  • Income, social security, or Medicare tax would have been withheld if the employee had claimed no more than one withholding allowance or exemption from withholding on Form W-4.

Who Must File?

Anyone withholding Nevada income tax must file with Nevada along with the Social Security Administration. Every employer who is required to withhold Nevada income tax must register with the Nevada Department of Revenue for a Nevada withholding account number.

Employers are considered exempt from registering for a withholding account number if they meet BOTH the following requirements:

  • They pay wages that are exempt from Nevada withholding (i.e., agricultural, domestic)
  • They have no Nevada withholding to report (required or voluntary) from wages or other
    payments made

Employers may apply for a Nevada withholding tax number by completing an online application at https://tap.revenue.wi.gov/btr. Or by completing Form BTR-101, Application for Business Tax Registration.

Quarterly, monthly, and semi-monthly filers with an active Nevada withholding account must file an electronic deposit report even if no tax was withheld during the period covered.

Electronic filing options include:

  • Nevada “My Tax Account”
  • Telefile
  • ACH Credit
  • WT-6 file transmission

The due date for filing WT-6, is on or before the last day of the month following the monthly or quarterly withholding period.

Semi-monthly filers may file one of two ways:

  • When the employee pay date is on or between the first (1st) and the 15th of the month, the amount of Nevada income tax withheld from the wages paid is due on or before the last
    day of the month
  • When the employee pay date is on or between the 16th of the month and the last day of the month, the amount of Nevada income tax withheld from the wages paid is due on or before the 15th of the following month.

What and Where to File?

Those employers required to file with the Nevada Department of Revenue must file Nevada Form WT-7, Employer’s Annual Reconciliation of Nevada Income Tax Withheld From Wages, along with all applicable W-2s, W-2Gs and 1099s. Even if the filer submitted all applicable forms electronically, they still need to file a paper WT-7. If the employer is an annual filer, payment should be included with Form WT-7. Employers filing 50 or more withholding statements are require to file Forms W-2 electronically using one of the following:

  • PDF file from the Social Security Administration’s website and then transmitting the file through
    DOR’s website
  • Using their Nevada “My Tax Account” account to submit forms (Filers will need to use another method to meet federal W-2 reporting requirements)
  • Submitting an EFW2 text file through DOR’s website http://www.revenue.wi.gov/eserv/w-2.html

Those employers filing fewer than 50 withholding statements may file using the above methods or by mailing in their applicable forms to:

Form W-2C

Form W-2c is for correcting any errors entered in Form W-2. Filers may use Express Tax Filings to easily edit and fix any incorrect W-2s originally filed with Express. If the filer submitted Form W-2 through ExpressTaxFilings and the return was accepted by the IRS, they can make corrections of that form by going to ‘Submitted Forms’ on the dashboard, choose the correct form and click ‘Make Corrections’ under Options.

The filer will then select the Payer and the form that needs to be corrected. This will open a Form W-2 C, where they will be able to update the correct information. Correct errors (such as incorrect name, SSN, or amount) on a previously filed Form
W-2 or Form W-2c. If they are correcting only an employee's name and/or SSN, complete Form W-2c boxes d through i. Do not complete boxes 1 through 20. Have the employee correct the SSN and/or name on his or her original Form W-2. If the employee has been given a new social security card following an adjustment to his or her resident status that shows a different name or SSN, file a Form W-2c for the most current year only.

In order to correct an incorrect tax year and/or EIN on a previously submitted Form W-2, enter the tax year and EIN originally reported, and enter in the “Previously reported” boxes the money amounts that were on the original Form W-2. In the “Correct information” boxes, enter zeros. Prepare a second Form W-2C and enter zeros in the “Previously reported” boxes, and enter the correct money amounts in the “Correct information” boxes.

Enter the correct tax year and/or correct EIN. If the filer submitted a Form W-2 with the SSA that reported an incorrect address for the employee, but all other information on the Form W-2 was correct, the filer will not file Form W-2c with the SSA just to correct the address. But, if the address was incorrect on the Form W-2 they provided to the employee, the filer must do one of the following:

  • Issue a corrected Form W-2 to the employee with the new address. Indicate “REISSUED STATEMENT” on the new copies. Do not send Copy A of Form W-2 to the SSA.
  • Issue a Form W-2c to the employee that shows the correct address in box i, and all other correct information. Do not send Copy A of Form W-2c to the SSA. Reissue the Form W-2 that had the incorrect address to the employee in an envelope showing the correct address.
Form W-2C

Form W-3

Form W-3 is a reconciliation form used to summarize all wages and withholdings, as well as any other applicable information. This form includes the total amount for all employees that worked for the employer during
the tax year.

Anyone who paper filed Form W-2 must file Form W-3 to send with Copy A of Forms W-2 to the SSA. Even if there is only one paper W-2 form being filed a W-3 is still required. Do not file a W-3 for Form(s) W-2 that were submitted electronically to the SSA. A transmitter or sender may sign Form W-3 (or use their PIN to e-file) for the employer or payer only if the sender is authorized to sign by an agency agreement (whether oral, written, or implied) that is valid under state law; and it reads “For (name of payer)” next to the signature. (This applies to paper filing of Form W-3 only).

Form W-3

To correct a W-3 the filer can use the current version of Form W-3c to correct errors. Corrections may be made from an error on a previously filed Form W-3 or Form W-3c. They must file Copy A of Form W-3c with the SSA.

Corrections reported on Form W-2c may require the filer to make corrections to their previously filed employment tax returns using the corresponding “X” form, such as Form 941-X, Adjusted Employer's QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund; Form 943-X, Adjusted Employer's Annual Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employees or Claim for Refund; Form 944-X, Adjusted Employer's ANNUAL Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund; or Form CT-1X, Adjusted Employer's Annual Railroad Retirement Tax Return or
Claim for Refund.

Form W-3 is NOT required when e-filing Forms W-2 or 1099. Additionally, Form W-3 is not required when filing W-2s with Nevada. Instead, the filer will submit Nevada Form WT-7

Information Returns - IRS Form 1099

A form 1099 is used to report a variety of unique income payment types to the IRS. This form is typically used when the taxpayer has received income from sources other than a wage-paying job.

Form 1099 MISC

Form 1099-MISC is one of the many types of 1099 forms. This form is typically only for payments made in the course of your trade or business. Even non-profit organizations are considered to be engaged in a trade or business and are subject to these reporting requirements.

  • For whom you have withheld and paid any foreign tax on dividends and other distributions on stock,
  • For whom you have withheld any federal income tax on dividends under the backup withholding rules, or
