E-File
Mississippi law provides that the Commissioner may require you to file and pay electronically. You are subject to a penalty of $25 the first time you fail to file as required. After that, you are subject to a penalty of $500 each time you fail to file as required. MCA §27-3-83(4)
Taxpayers who do not have the ability to file electronically may be relieved of this requirement. If you cannot file electronically, please call (601) 923-7700, or write the Registration Branch, P. O. Box 1033 Jackson MS 39215 and explain why you cannot file electronically.
Annual Filing of W2’s
Employers that issue 10 or more W-2s are required to electronically submit those to the DOR. You may be subject to penalties if you issue more than 10 W-2s and do not file as required. All employers, regardless of the number of W-2s, may utilize the system to enter and submit W2 information securely to the DOR.
