To Whom It May Concern:

The Bureau of Internal Revenue is sending this correspondence to notify you of the filing procedures when submitting W2, W3 and any other pertinent data. Generally, if the number of employees is below 100, you are allowed to submit the data on paper. If the number of employees is over 100, then you must submit the data on CD, diskette or by forwarding it to the following e-mail address: lparsons@irb.gov.vi.

The record layout and requirements can be obtained in the SSA publication No. 42-007. You can also access the Bureau's website at http://www.viirb.com, which has a directlink to this publication, or you may access it at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/employer/R07efw2.pdf.

The six record types that must be submitted are RA, RE, RW, RO, RT and RU. They are all required and must be submitted in the sequence listed. Each employee must have a RW and RO pair where the RW record is immediately followed by the RO.

RE      -    Employer Record

RW     -    Employee 1 Wage Record

RO     -    Employee2 Wage Record

RW     -    Employee3 Wage Record
