Frequently Asked Questions About 2026 Tax Deadlines

Get answers to common questions about tax form filing deadlines

For tax year 2025 (filed in 2026), W-2 forms must be furnished to employees by February 2, 2026. The same deadline applies for filing W-2 forms with the Social Security Administration (SSA), whether filing electronically or on paper. This deadline is consistent whether you're filing 10 forms or 10,000 forms.

For 1099-NEC (Nonemployee Compensation), both the recipient copy and IRS filing deadline is February 2, 2026. For 1099-MISC forms, recipient copies are due February 2, 2026, but the IRS filing deadline is March 2, 2026 (paper) or March 31, 2026 (electronic filing).

For tax year 2025, ACA forms 1095-B and 1095-C must be furnished to recipients by March 2, 2026. The IRS e-filing deadline for these forms is March 31, 2026. Note that the recipient deadline has been permanently extended from the original January 31 date, giving employers and insurers additional time to prepare and distribute these complex forms.

Yes, you can request a 30-day extension by filing Form 8809 before the original due date. For most information returns, the extended deadline would move to late February or late March, depending on the form type. Note that extensions for W-2 and 1099-NEC forms are granted only in cases of extraordinary circumstances or catastrophe. The extension only applies to filing with the IRS - recipient copies must still be furnished by the original deadline.

Missing the deadline can result in IRS penalties. For 2026 filings, penalties can range from $60 to $330 per form depending on how late you file. If you file within 30 days of the deadline, the penalty is $60 per form. After 30 days but before August 1, it increases to $130. After August 1 or if you don't file at all, the penalty is $330 per form. Small businesses may qualify for reduced penalty caps. Filing electronically with BoomTax helps ensure timely submission and reduces the risk of penalties.

Electronic filing often provides an extended deadline compared to paper filing. For example, many 1099 forms have a paper deadline of February 28, 2026 but an e-filing deadline of March 31, 2026 - giving you an extra month. Additionally, if you're filing 10 or more information returns, the IRS requires electronic filing. E-filing also provides faster processing, immediate confirmation, and reduced errors.
