- [Narrator] Once you have your W3 completed
you're ready to go and submit it
to the Social Security Administration.
To do this you'll need to use
the Social Security Administration's
business services online portal.
If you haven't used BSO before,
you'll need to register for that here.
Once you've registered, you'll be prepared
to go and log in to BSO online.
To do this you'll need a username and password
which are issued by the Social Security Administration
so it won't be simple.
Make sure that you've registered before
the first time you go and need to file this.
Otherwise you may find that you don't get a username
quickly enough to file on a timely basis.
A'right, once you've logged in,
you'll need to click to report wages to Social Security.
To do that, you'll need to go and upload
your formatted wage file.
This is the easiest way to submit your W3 forms
to the federal government.
So you'll click submit a formatted file.
You need to make sure that you have that file formatted
in the appropriate fashion.
Generally, it's going to be in a text form.
A'right, so it'll be in a text file.
You're going to tell them which year you're submitting for.
It's going to include your W2s and W3s.
Now you're going to upload those forms from where they are
and then you would submit.
So that's all there is to it when it comes
to submitting your W2s and W3s
to the Social Security Administration.
Easy enough, right?
