The Virgin Islands Bureau of Internal Revenue has received the 2010 Form W-2VIs, which are available at its offices on all three islands. Employers are reminded to make a written request for the forms, including the employer identification number and the number of W-2VIs requested. BIR provides the forms as needed. The W-2VIs are available at its offices and at its Web site, www.viirb.com, according to Director Claudette Watson-Anderson of the BIR.
“It is unfortunate that we have to require written requests, but the bureau has received a number of fraudulent W-2VIs within the past several years,” Watson-Anderson said.
She reminds all Virgin Islands employers they are required to provide Form W-2VI for employment in 2010 to every employee by Jan. 31, 2011. Questions concerning the form should be directed to the Federal Disclosure Office at 715-1040, ext. 2294.
