Wisconsin recently released the 2021 version of its Publication 172, the Annual W-2, 1099-R, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, and W-2G Electronic Reporting. Few changes were made to the document itself and no changes were made to the actual specifications portion of the publication. The most notable changes are detailed below:
• Updated revision from 11/20 to 10/21 and updated the publication references to 2021 tax year references for filing in 2022.
• Some of the sections of the publication have been renumbered with the removal of the “what’s new” section for this year
• Statements and annual reconciliation for tax year 2021 due January 31, 2022 (changed from 2020 filings due on February 1, 2021)
