Question

2022 North Carolina efile W2 and NC3

To my surprise and utter joy, Quickbooks Desktop will now efile W2's and the NC3 direct to the state of North Carolina effective 1/12/23. My faith is restored. Miracles do actually happen!

You no longer need to create that special data file to upload on the the state of North Carolina website.

Here's another miracle: I was creating the special data file for the NC3 and it showed an e-file screen with a "Submit" button. I said what the heck so I clicked submit. A confirmation screen came back just like you see for e-filing your 941. It also had a confirmation number. Of course I was skeptical that this really worked to I called tech support. Here's another miracle: tech support actually knew the answer to my question about this.

What the heck has gotten into Intuit? They are actually doing some things right.

Thank you for posting here in the Community, @what99.

 

Yes, you can electronically file your W-2s through QuickBooks for North Carolina. You can do it from the Employees menu. Your W-2s will be available to view and print in the Payroll Tax Center on January 13. Then, it'll be available in QuickBooks Workforce for your employees to see and print on or before January 31.

I'm having trouble filing my NC w2 & NC3 online. Our wages are over the limit of 999,999.99 so it says I need to file them in batches which is what I did for the SSA & W3 with no issues. What steps do I need to take to do this?

Thanks for joining this thread, @SrAcct1 and @chasspayrollgirl. I'll clarify a few things about the e-filing options for North Carolina.

 

QuickBooks is dependent on state and IRS regulations. Payroll taxes, such as state and municipal withholdings, are usually calculated depending on the employee's residence and place of employment. Depending on the regulations of the states where your employee lives and works, these taxes are computed and reported differently.

 

I recommend contacting your state agency so that they can help you with this. The agencies can help you figure out which taxes apply to your case and register for the account numbers you'll need to pay those taxes and file forms.

 

Feel free to check this article to see the method you need to use for your state: 

I also added this article regarding Payroll Tax Compliance Links to find details on tax forms, withholdings, unemployment and other taxes, e-file and pay information, general state and agency information, and employer registration.

I know what the NC state compliances are. I want to know the process through quick books of creating the state W2s and Nc3 so they’re in the correct format and file type (.txt) to be in compliance with NC and then file them from quick books

    I don't understand - I am not able to generate the forms from QB. It does not show NC as a supported efile option.

    Hello there, @Slooz. I'm here to ensure you'll be able to file your tax form electronically.

     

    To start, let's ensure that your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is updated to the latest release and that it has the newest payroll tax table to stay compliant with paycheck calculations.

     

    Once done, let's navigate to the Payroll Center to electronically file W2s for the state of North Carolina. I'll guide you on how:

     

    1. Go to the Employees tab and under Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s, select Process Payroll Forms.
    2. Next, in the File Forms section, click the NC state worksheet.
    3. Then, review the Select Filing Period year and select OK.
    4. Fill out the W-2 worksheet and select Check for errors to make sure everything is correct.
    5. Once ready, click E-file.
    6. After that, enter your email address and contact phone number.
    7. Click Submit.

     

    For reference, please check this article: File your state W-2s with Quickbooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced.

     

    If you're still unable to generate the forms, I highly recommend reaching out to our Payroll support team to further investigate the root cause of the issue. They use specific tools to look into your account and help you resolve this. 

     

    I'm always here ready to help if you have any other concerns managing payroll forms in QuickBooks. Have a great week ahead and stay safe.

    I just spoke with a representative at Intuit and they told me that it is not supported.
