Can i correct a second quarter payroll item in the next year for the W-2?

Let me share details as to how you can correct your second quarter payroll item in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @Vig2.

When a specific quarter is already over or completed, you're unable to correct your payroll items in QBO. This is because the system will automatically recognize that you've already filed your forms and paid your liabilities to the IRS.

With that being said, I'd recommend contacting our Payroll Care team. They have the tools to create a payroll adjustment and let you correct your second quarter payroll item for your W2s. Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QBO company.
2. Go to the Help (?) menu.
3. Select the Search tab.
4. Click the Contact Us button.
5. Enter a brief description of your concern in the What can we help you with? field.
6. Select Continue.
7. Choose a way to connect with us (Send a message or Get a callback). Make sure to initiate contact during support hours. 

Also, to learn more about when and how to submit your W-2 forms to the federal and state agencies and answer the most commonly asked questions about them, I'd recommend checking out these articles:
