Connecticut Wage Withholding Deadline Information

State of Connecticut employers must now electronically submit to the Department of Revenue Services (DRS) copies of federal Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, and Form CT W-3, Connecticut Annual Reconciliation of Withholding, by January 31st.

The new deadline that requires filing your Forms CT-W3 and Forms W-2 by January 31 is part of DRS’s continued efforts to improve the tax refund process. Your cooperation with the earlier filing deadline is appreciated.

Be advised that a penalty will be imposed on employers who do not file these withholding forms by January 31st. The applicable penalty is set forth in Conn. Gen. Stat. § 12-735(d).

Employers can file these forms by logging into your Taxpayer Service Center account at www.ct.gov/TSC.  For additional information on electronic filing options, including bulk filing uploads, visit DRS’s website at www.ct.gov/drs and click on File W-2/1099’s online or contact our office fo assistance.
