Connecticut – For those employers who issue 24 or fewer W-2 forms, the Connecticut Department
of Revenue Services has suspended the mandate that Form CT-W3 (drs) be filed electronically.
Because of this change, we have again made the Facsimile paper type available for the form.
Note: The electronic filing mandate is still in effect for employers who file 25 or more W-2 forms.
We have updated the following 2015 forms that are due more frequently than quarterly to the latest
versions available from the agency.
 Arizona – Form A1-WP
 Colorado – Form DR 1094
 Delaware – Forms W1A 9301 and W1 9301
