This week’s question comes from Mike, a small-business owner. We have hired some employees whose native language is Spanish. They are better able to understand forms in Spanish than they are in English. We need them to complete Form W-11 in order to claim payroll tax forgiveness on Form 941. Is there a Spanish Form W-11 available? Form W-11, Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act Employee Affidavit, is used to certify worker eligibility for payroll tax forgiveness under the HIRE Act. At the present time, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has not released a Spanish version of Form W-11. Contact Vision Payroll if you have any further questions on Form W-11.

***Please see updated information regarding the release of the Spanish version of Form W-11.
