Form W-2AS: What you need to know
Form W-2AS, American Samoa Wage and Tax Statement, is used to report wages, tips, and other compensation paid to employees for services performed in American Samoa, along with American Samoa income tax withheld, Social Security wages and taxes, and Medicare wages and taxes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Form W-2AS
Form W-2AS reports wages paid to employees who performed services in American Samoa, along with American Samoa income tax withheld. Unlike the standard Form W-2, which reports U.S. federal income tax withholding, Form W-2AS reports withholding for the American Samoa government.
If a Form W-2AS filing is rejected, it can be retransmitted at no additional cost under the
Bandit Commitment.
The deadline to file 2026 Form W-2AS with the SSA is February 1, 2027, whether you file electronically or on paper. Employers must also furnish employee copies by February 1, 2027.
Not always. If an employee's wages are reportable only on Form W-2AS, a separate Form W-2 is generally not required. However, if the employee also received wages subject to U.S. federal income tax reporting, a separate Form W-2 may be required.
Employers can request an extension of time to file Form W-2AS with the Social Security Administration (SSA) by submitting Form 8809, Application for Extension of Time to File Information Returns. If you need additional time to furnish employee statements, file Form 15397 on or before the original due date.
