Thanks for reaching out to the Community, Mee123.

 

Who fixes a W-2 depends on if you chose to have Intuit pay and file your federal and state payroll taxes for you, or if you decided to pay and file them yourself. If you aren't certain, be sure to check your automatic tax payments and form filing status initially.

 

If you have auto pay and file turned on, since Intuit files the W-2s for you, you'll need to get in touch with our Customer Care team and request a correction.

 

In the event you have auto pay and file turned off, and located a mistake before filing a W-2, you don't need to create or file a W-2c. You can instead manually fix the issue.

 

Here's how review/add local taxes to employee profiles:
 

  1. In your left navigation bar, go to Payroll, the Employees.
  2. Find the employee and click their display name.
  3. From their Tax withholding section, hit Edit.
  4. In your Local taxes area, choose the applicable local taxes. 
  5. If you don't see their expected local taxes, use your Edit location option. Enter the city and ZIP code combination for their tax jurisdiction. If you're in PA, you can enter a specific PSD code.
  6. If any changes were made, select Save.

 

If you're still noticing errors on their W-2 and need to correct them, I'd recommend working with a tax professional. If you're in need of one, there's an awesome tool on our website called Find a ProAdvisor. All ProAdvisors listed there are QuickBooks-certified and able to provide helpful insights for driving your business's success.

 

I've also included a couple detailed resources about working with W-2s and local taxes which may come in handy moving forward:
