[robsanpedro]

What is the actual statute requiring employers to file w-2 with the SSA?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help. . .I don't see anything about reporting to the SSA. . .I found this: [url]http://www.socialsecurity.gov/employer/gen.htm[/url]

Which says employers are required to send W-2s to the SSA. . .but doesn't reference an actual statute. I assume there should be a statute in the USCA or CFR. . .anyone know the code section?

I don't know off the top of my head, and I don't do research for tax protestors.

I'm not sure why you would assume I am a tax protestor. . . I am a paralegal for the State Bar of CA. . .and I know nothing about tax. . .except the Social Security and Internal Revenue sections of the USCA comprise about 20 volumes. . .and I am going cross-eyed trying to find this darn statute!

Why do you need the statute? Look at the instructions on the W-3.

To flesh this out a little more. . .The State Bar of Ca is charging the attorney in this case with "failure to support the Constitution and laws of the US" because he didn't file employee w-2s for a number of years. In order to charge him, we need to know the exact statute he violated. . .

Then you're going to have to do a lot of work because it will depend on the specific facts. The code (aka statute) is Code Sec. 6051 where the statute give the commissioner the right to make regulations. At least one of the regulations on point is at Reg. Sec. 31.6051-2(a).

If you're in S.F. on Howard Street, walk over to UC Hastings at McAllister, by the Civic Center;
If you're in L.A. on Hill Street, go to the County Law Library or Southwestern on Wilshire.

You can't be a paralegal for the State Bar.
The filing/charging attorney decides what charges - which code sections/laws/ethics rules have been violated.

You are a liar.

No Prosecutor for the State Bar of Ca would aid, abet, and require as a job duty, the unauthorized practice of law.
Decisions regarding the charging of ethical violations by an attorney or their violations of law is UPL.

Your pants are on fire !
