This form helps the SSA to reconcile the information reported on the individual W-2 forms with the total amount of wages and taxes reported by the employer. By submitting Form W-3 to the SSA, employers ensure that the correct amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes are credited to their employees' accounts. The IRS is not involved in the submission of Form W-3.Rate this question:
