Due Dates Coming Soon for Filing Annual Reconciliation Returns All states with a state income tax require employers to file an annual reconciliation return following the end of the calendar year, except Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New Mexico, and New York. Generally, a state annual reconciliation return must show the amount of tax withheld from the wages paid to employees, the amount of tax deposited, and a reconciliation of the aggregate of the amounts withheld and paid on the deposit reports. New for forms due in 2023 The Delaware Division of Revenue (DDOR) replaced Form W-3, Annual Reconciliation of DE Income Tax Withheld, with Form WTH-REC, Annual Reconciliation of Delaware Income Tax Withheld, for tax year 2022 (forms due in 2023). Form WTH-REC is due on January 31, 2023. Bulk filers are required to submit Form WTH-REC electronically via the Delaware Taxpayer Portal [DDOR, W-2 and 1099 Form FAQs]. The Iowa Department of Revenue (IDOR) no longer requires employers to submit an annual reconciliation return (Form VSP 44-007, Iowa Withholding Annual VSP Report). Forms W-2 are still due to the IDOR by February 15, 2023 [IDOR, 2022 Electronic Filing of W-2s and 1099s, 12-14-22].
