Change to W-2, 1099 Form Distribution Dates
I understand the IRS has changed the required distribution date for tax forms, such as W-2’s and 1099’s, from January 31st to February 15th, and K-1’s to some date other than April 15th. Can anyone provide the correct information on this change?

According to the W-2 Instructions (IRS.gov), the distribution due date for the 2009 tax year is February 1, 2010. That is probably because January 31 is on a Sunday. The 2010 instructions indicate the distribution deadline is Monday, January 31, 2011.
