What is new for W2 2007?
1) Starting with tax year 2007, the employees social security number on W2 Forms was relocated. The SSA moved the “Employee’s social security number” box on Form W-2 from box “d” to box “a”. The social security administration also moved the “Control number” box, optionally used by some employers to identify individual Forms W-2, from box “a” to box “d”. The form ID number and “Void” boxes were also moved to the top left corner of the 2007 W-2 form. These changes were made by the IRS and SSA to protect the employee’s social security number from disclosure when employers furnish Forms W-2 to their employees using a window envelope and to enhance processing efficiency. 2) Form ID number (33333) on 2007 W3 Forms was relocated to the top left corner of the form.
