If you need copies of Forms W-2AS, W-2CM, W-2GU, W-2VI, and W-3SS, see How To Get Forms and Publications on page 4.

If you need to correct a Form W-2AS, W-2CM, W-2GU, or Form W-2VI after you have sent Copy A to the SSA, use Form W-2c, Corrected Wage and Tax Statement. Furnish employees Copies B and C of Form W-2c. Send Copy A with Form W-3c, Transmittal of Corrected Wage and Tax Statements, to the SSA at the address shown on 
Form W-3c.

If you go out of business during the year, give your employees their Forms W-2 by the due date of your final Form 941-SS. File Copy A with the SSA by the last day of the month after that due date.

If an employee loses or destroys his or her copies, furnish that employee copies of Form W-2AS, W-2CM, W-2GU, or W-2VI marked "REISSUED STATEMENT." Do not send Copy A of the reissued form to the SSA.

If a form is corrected before you send Copy A to the SSA, furnish the employee the corrected copies. Mark the original Copy A "Void" in the proper box and send the new Copy A as explained above. Only send the new Copy A to SSA; do not send the Copy A marked "Void." For more information, see the Instructions for Forms W-2 and W-3.
