2025 Tax Year

RDA Clients - Year-End Tax Reporting Overview


As you prepare for year-end Tax Reporting, please review the information below. This summary outlines the steps needed whether you print forms in-house, e-file, or have RDA complete these services on your behalf.


Program Updates

Before processing W-2s, 1095s, or 1099s, all clients must install the most recent RDA program updates. We anticipate additional updates in early January.  

Please monitor your email and the RDA home screen for update notifications and apply them promptly. Contact us if you need assistance.


Print Service

For clients who use RDA Print Service (RDA prints your W-2, 1095 or 1099 forms), please review the 2025 Tax Year W-2, 1095, and 1099 Print Service Guide  for detailed instructions.
Have your PDF files ready for printing no later than Friday, January 16th.

E-Filing W-2s

For all clients, those who e-file W-2s and those who have RDA complete the e-filing, please refer to the Steps to Electronically File W-2s , which include preparation guidance, checklists, step-by-step instructions, and a video tutorial.

  1. Confirm access to the SSA Business Services Online (BSO) system by going to https://www.ssa.gov/bso
  2. Navigate to the Employers section and select Sign in.
  3. Sign in through Login.gov.
  4. Ensure that:
    – You can successfully log in
    – Your password is active
    – You have the Report Wages to Social Security service enabled

If you need to request new services (such as “Report Wages to Social Security”), please note the SSA may take up to 2 weeks to process requests.

Verifying your credentials now is essential for a smooth and timely filing process.
