Year-End Forms:
W-2 and 1099-NEC Delivery Options
Choose your preferred delivery method by January 14, 2025
In addition to giving workers lifetime digital access to their W-2s and 1099-NECs, Beyond makes it simple to provide printed forms to employees and contractors. You can either self-print or let us handle direct mailing. Just select your option, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Delivery methods for year-end forms
Self-print
This no-cost option allows you to manage the printing and distribution of forms yourself. Forms can be generated directly in Beyond and printed on plain paper.
- Download year-end forms from Beyond
- Print on standard 8.5″x11″ printer/copy paper, using a home or office printer
- Distribute the printed forms to your workers by hand or mail
- Hand-delivered forms must be received by January 31, 2025
- Mailed forms must be postmarked by January 31, 2025
Direct mail
Prefer not to handle printing and mailing? Beyond can manage it for you. We’ll print, pressure-seal, and mail forms directly to your employees and contractors.
- $10 per form
- Each form is mailed to the address listed in the worker’s Beyond profile
- Workers usually receive their forms between January 24th–31st
- If you choose direct mail, confirm all employee and contractor addresses are accurate by 11 PM EST on Tuesday, January 14, 2025
Every employee and contractor paid through Beyond will always have lifetime access to digital copies of their forms through the Beyond portal or mobile app.
Important: Verify before printing or mailing
Before sending any forms, use the W-2 Preview. This single report consolidates W-2 and 1099 data for every worker you paid, making it easy to confirm details or make corrections ahead of distribution. We recommend reviewing this audit at the close of each year.
What if the employee’s home address changed?
If an employee’s address has changed, their Form W-2 does not need to be corrected. However, if you’ve chosen Direct Mail, note that forms are mailed to the address listed in their Beyond profile.
Selecting your delivery option
When you log into Beyond, your dashboard will display a prompt to “Confirm Year-End Options.” Select your preferred method and click Confirm Option.
Note: If no selection is made by 11 PM EST on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, forms will be delivered using the same method chosen in January 2024. If your company started with Beyond in 2024, the default method is Self-Print.
Making changes to your selection
You can update your form delivery option anytime before the deadline:
Deadline: January 14, 2025, at 11:00 PM EST
Updating employee forms before delivery
You can still update certain information before printing or mailing year-end forms, including:
- Employee details, like home address or phone number
- Adjustments already listed for 2024
However, some changes require filing an amended return (Form W-2C), such as:
- Contributions
- Taxes
- Pay type
- Pay amount
