The deadline for filing this year's employee W-2 with the Social Security Administration is:

January 1
February 28
April 15
July 1

The correct answer is: February 28

February 28 is the correct deadline for filing employee W-2 forms with the Social Security Administration if you are submitting the forms via paper. This date marks the end of February, which is the federal deadline set for employers to submit these forms to ensure the IRS receives all necessary tax documentation for the year. If the forms are submitted electronically, there is an extended deadline of March 31. However, for paper submissions, filing by the 28th of February is crucial to remain compliant with federal regulations. It ensures that employees' wage information is reported accurately and on time, which is vital for processing tax returns and ensuring proper crediting of Social Security earnings. The other potential dates provided (January 1, April 15, and July 1) do not align with the IRS's required timelines for submitting W-2 forms, emphasizing the importance of being aware of the specific deadlines to avoid penalties or issues with employees’ tax filings.
