So, I'm working on closing out a small Sch. C business that had no employees or income in 2021. I know there is a provision on the 943 to mention that this is the businesses last year. Wondering if there is a requirement to file a blank W-3 and/or W-2? First time that I've done this. Thanks.

If you paid $600 or more in wages, file W-2 and W-3. If you under the threshold and were not required to withhold payroll taxes, do not file.
W-3 is NEVER filed without W-2; it's just the transmission sheet.
Thanks Adam. It's the reporting that the business has closed that got me. But, I was also thinking that with out taxes due, there is almost never a penalty for late filing.
