Various tax forms for 2020, including the W-2 and 1099-MISC, will be available starting late January. W-2 forms report wages paid to an employee and the taxes withheld for the year. 1099-MISC forms report miscellaneous payments to non-employee individuals and independent contractors. The 1042-S, which will be available in late February, reports income exempt from taxation due to a tax treaty on wages paid to individuals. For employees who paid qualified tuition and fee expenses for University classes last year, the 1098-T will also be available in late January.
