Choate Law is pleased to have served employees exculsively over the course of the year.  We look forward to serving more employees throughout the upcoming year and, as always, if you have any thoughts or questions, feel free to contact us!  We pride ourselves in responsive work.

As we approach the new year, it is a good time think about your W-2 or 1099-R.  Generally, an employer is required to give you a completed W-2 form for the calendar year by January 31 of the next year.  However, if the 31st falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the employer has until the next business day to send out the W-2.  A 2011 W-2 must be given by Jan. 31, 2012, but since that falls on a Sunday, you should have it by Feb. 1, 2012.
