Oregon : No more paper W2s

Ted — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:13:53 +0000

Starting with 2009 Forms W-2 filed in 2010, Oregon employers with 250 or more employees must electronically file Forms W-2 with the Oregon DOR. Effective with 2010 Forms W-2 filed in 2011, the threshold for employers not using a payroll service provider will decrease to 50 or more employees. Effective with 2011 Forms W-2 filed in 2012, all employers must electronically file Forms W-2.
[Or. Adm. R. §150-316.202(3)].

Look for more states to follow. Another part of the stimulus package involved the gov’t boosting up each state’s unemployment coffers but each state had to promise to ‘modernize’ their wage data collection infrastructure. PayMaster currently handles 38 state’s SUTA electronic formats and RS records for the year end MMREF format. Be sure to stay current to support these everchanging state specific formats.
