The IRS requires employers to keep all records of employment taxes for at least four years after filing the 4th quarter for the year. After four years, the records can be destroyed.
3 years after hire or 1 year after term date WHICHEVER IS LONGER
If I am not mistaken you would need to contaact the IRS to get copies, being that employers must send in a red copy of all w2s to them. Yes, the whole point of W-2s and 1099 is the IRS receives the same info you do...albeit now except for the smallest of filers, they require it in an electronic format. Yes, you can probably get them from the IRS, but that will be an arduous task...requiring lots of requests, certified documentation you are who you are and such...and a fairly long time. Your best bet is to contact the employer, they normally have copies for a few years at least...they may charge you some nominal fee, but unlikely (especially if you ask nicely)...or whoever did your return may have a copy too.
There is a group of forms that begin with 1099, like 1099-A, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-R, etc. These are known as "information returns." They are filed by certain entities that pay money to people or other entities in order to inform the IRS that a potentially taxable transaction has occurred.
As long as SS# is right, don't worry about it. Your a number not a name.
There is not a law that states how long employers must keep job applications. Many employers keep them for about one year.
one year
Those with 15 or more employees, subject to Title VII, must keep them 12 months. Smaller employers need not keep them at all.
For 3 years.
Employers in Wisconsin have to keep job applications on file for at least one year. This is due to federal law, not state law.
There is not a set amount of time that employers have to keep applications on file. Most employers will keep them on file for one year.
1 YEAR
There is no state law that specifies how long employers have to keep employment applications in Kansas City, Missouri. However, federal laws say that application should be kept for one year.
It depends on the legislation of the country. Some have no set period.
I was wondering the same question. I just called the SC DOR for my location which is in Columbia, SC. You do not have to file your 1099 copies with the State of South Carolina as long as there was NO state tax with held.
