Section 7317 - Information statement(a) Every employer required to deduct and withhold tax under section 316.1(a) shall furnish to each such employe to whom the employer has paid compensation during the calendar year a written statement in such manner and in such form as may be prescribed by the department showing the amount of compensation paid by the employer to the employe, the amount deducted and withheld as tax, pursuant to section 316.1(a), and such other information as the department shall prescribe. Each statement required by this section for a calendar year shall be furnished to the employe on or before January 31 of the year succeeding such calendar year. If the employe's employment is terminated before the close of such calendar year, the employer, at his option, shall furnish the statement to the employe at any time after the termination but no later than January 31 of the year succeeding such calendar year. However, if an employe whose employment is terminated before the close of such calendar year requests the employer in writing to furnish him the statement at an earlier time, and, if there is no reasonable expectation on the part of both employer and employe of further employment during the calendar year, then the employer shall furnish the statement to the employe on or before the later of the 30th day after the day of the request or the 30th day after the day on which the last payment of wages is made.(b) Every person required to deduct and withhold tax under section 316.1(b) shall report the prize and the amount of withholding to the taxpayer on Internal Revenue Service Form W-2G, or similar form used for reporting Federal income tax withholding from the prize.Amended by P.L.
