Key 2027 Filing Dates for Dealerships

Getting ahead of tax season starts with knowing your deadlines. The W-2 deadline 2027 is especially important for dealerships managing employee payroll and contractor payments throughout the year.

Tax forms for the 2026 tax year must be distributed and filed in 2027. Here are the important dates your dealership should keep on its calendar:

• February 1, 2027: Deadline to provide employees with their 2026 W-2 forms.
• February 1, 2027: Deadline to submit W-2 forms and the W-3 to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
• February 1, 2027: Deadline to provide 1099-NEC forms to recipients and file them with the IRS.
• 1099-MISC Filing: IRS filing deadlines differ from 1099-NEC deadlines. Confirm the applicable dates on IRS.gov.

Because January 31, 2027, falls on a Sunday, the applicable deadlines move to Monday, February 1. Ordering your supplies early gives your accounting department time to review employee information, verify contractor details, and prepare accurate documents without rushing.

4-Part, 6-Part or 8-Part: Which W-2 Kit Fits Your Payroll?

Not every dealership has the same payroll reporting needs. That's why Dealermarket offers W-2 tax form kits in multiple configurations, making it easier to find the right supplies for your office.

Our laser-printable W-2 kits are available in 4-part, 6-part, and 8-part versions, with envelopes included in convenient 25-packs. The difference comes down to how many copies your dealership needs for employees, state or local reporting, and employer records.

• 4-Part W-2 Kits: A practical option for dealerships needing standard employee and employer copies.
• 6-Part W-2 Kits: Provide additional copies for offices with more extensive reporting requirements.
• 8-Part W-2 Kits: Offer additional documentation for dealerships requiring more copies.

If your dealership uses Autosoft DMS, our W-2 Kit 4-Part with Envelopes, 25-Pk is listed as compatible with Autosoft DMS. This helps your office prepare payroll documents using forms designed to work with your existing software.

Before ordering, review your payroll requirements and determine how many copies you'll need. Choosing the right kit now helps your team avoid unnecessary reorders when tax season gets busy.

1099-NEC vs. 1099-MISC for Vendors and Contractors

Does your dealership work with independent contractors, outside detailers, freelancers, or other service providers? If so, you'll want to make sure you're using the correct 1099 forms when reporting qualifying payments.

Form 1099-NEC is used to report nonemployee compensation. This generally includes qualifying payments made to independent contractors and service providers who aren't classified as dealership employees.

Form 1099-MISC covers certain other reportable payments, such as rent. Understanding the difference helps your accounting department prepare the appropriate documents for each payment type.

At Dealermarket, we carry 1099 tax form kits and single packs to help you organize vendor and contractor reporting.

• 1099-NEC kit: Our 4-part kit includes envelopes and covers up to 30 recipients.
• 1099-MISC kit: Our 4-part kit covers up to 20 recipients.

Having the correct forms available makes preparing recipient copies easier and helps your dealership stay organized throughout the filing process. Review your vendor records before ordering to determine which kits and quantities your office needs.

Don't Forget the W-3 and 1096 Transmittals

W-2 and 1099 kits are essential, but they're not always the only forms your dealership needs. If your office submits paper information returns, you'll also need the appropriate transmittal forms.

The W-3 transmittal forms accompany paper W-2 submissions to the Social Security Administration. They summarize the wage and tax information reported on your dealership's W-2 forms.

Similarly, the 1096 transmittal forms accompany paper 1099 submissions to the IRS. These forms summarize the information returns being submitted.

Both transmittal products are sold separately, so be sure to add them to your order if your dealership is eligible to file on paper. Getting everything together saves time and helps prevent missing supplies when you're ready to prepare your documents.

Order Early: Test Prints, Envelopes and Extras

Why wait until January to start preparing for tax season? Ordering early gives your dealership time to organize paperwork, check employee information, and make sure your tax forms print correctly.

Before printing your full batch, complete a test print to verify that names, addresses, and tax information align properly with the form fields. Taking a few extra minutes to check alignment can help prevent printing errors and wasted forms.

Even better, Dealermarket is offering 20% off 2026 tax forms throughout October! Order by October 31, 2026, to take advantage of the savings before the promotion ends.

With typical shipping times of 3–5 business days, ordering ahead helps you avoid the January rush. Dealermarket also offers auto-replenishment options to help keep your dealership stocked with frequently used supplies throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

When are W-2s due in 2027?

W-2 forms for tax year 2026 must be provided to employees by Monday, February 1, 2027. Employers must also submit their W-2 information to the Social Security Administration by that date.

Should contractors get a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC?

Form 1099-NEC generally reports qualifying nonemployee compensation paid to independent contractors and other service providers. Form 1099-MISC is used for certain other reportable payments, including rent, so the correct form depends on the payment type.

Are your W-2 kits compatible with Autosoft DMS?

Dealermarket's 4-part W-2 kit with envelopes is listed as compatible with Autosoft DMS. We also offer 6-part and 8-part kits, but their software compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.

Do I still need paper forms if we e-file?

Businesses filing 10 or more information returns generally must file electronically unless an exception applies. Employees must still receive their W-2 copies, either on paper or electronically when applicable consent requirements are met, so printed forms may still be useful for your dealership.
