Final Hours to File 2025 W-2s, 1099s, and 94X Forms — TaxZerone Can Help You File Before Midnight.
SAN JOSE, CA, UNITED STATES, February 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — With the federal tax filing deadline set to expire at 11:59 PM local time tonight, thousands of American employers are racing against the clock to submit mandatory wage and tax documents, according to TaxZerone, a leading IRS-authorized e-file provider experiencing unprecedented platform activity.
TaxZerone is urging U.S. employers, businesses, payroll providers, and tax professionals to act now, as today—Monday, February 2, 2026—is the final day to file Information Returns (W-2 and 1099 series) and Employment Tax Forms (94X series) for the 2025 tax year without incurring IRS penalties.
Businesses that miss the midnight deadline face automatic penalties starting at $60 per form, which can quickly add up to thousands of dollars for organizations with multiple employees or contractors.
“This is it—the final day,” a TaxZerone spokesperson emphasized. “We’re seeing a surge in last-minute filings, and we want every business to know that TaxZerone’s platform is fully operational, with our tax experts available to handle submissions right up until the deadline.”
Critical Forms Due TODAY, February 2, 2026
Time is running out to file and furnish:
✔️ W-2 Forms: Annual wage statements for all employees
✔️ 1099-NEC: Nonemployee compensation for independent contractors
✔️ Certain 1099 Recipient Copies: MISC, INT, DIV, and other variants
✔️ Form 941: 4th quarter 2025 employer’s quarterly federal tax return
✔️ Form 940: Annual FUTA unemployment tax filing
✔️ Forms 943, 944, 945: Specialized employment tax returns
Need More Time to File? Request an Extension Before Midnight
Employers and businesses that are unable to complete their filings by tonight’s deadline may request an extension before midnight using the following IRS forms:
✔️ Form 8809: Request an extension to file W-2 and 1099 information returns.
Note: Extension requests for Forms W-2 and 1099-NEC must be submitted on paper.
✔️ Form 15397: Request a one-time extension of up to 30 days to furnish copies of information returns to recipients for the current tax year.
Important: Extension requests must be filed by the original deadline to be valid.
The Cost of Missing Today’s Deadline
The IRS penalty structure for late filing is strict and unforgiving:
✔️ Up to 30 days late: $60 per form
✔️ 31 days to August 1: $130 per form
✔️ After August 1 or not filed: $340 per form
✔️ Intentional disregard: $680 per form
