Important Update: Beginning with 2009 information returns, the Department of Revenue will be requiring electronic filing of W2s. The filing due date will follow federal filing deadlines (March 31, 2010 for 2009 W2s). The new requirement will apply to businesses with 250 or more employees and all payroll service providers. Electronic filing for smaller businesses will be phased in over time. The department is interested in working with the business community to gather input and develop standards. We are also interested in obtaining employer input during the testing phase in 2009. If you would like to be part of the development group, be a tester, or both, please contact Deanna Mack at Deanna.D.Mack at state.or.us or directly at 503-947-2082. II.
