Hello, if someone could please advise me:

 

Arkansas requires a specific txt format for W2 upload through the state website. I know how to get the printable pdf but I cannot for the life of me find out where to create this EFW2 file through QBO.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I've got some information to share about creating EFW2 file in QuickBooks Online, Kavachon.

 

QuickBooks Online only provides signature-ready versions of W-2s or PDF copies of the worksheets. If you're referring to the .txt file to be uploaded to the state website, this option is unavailable. You might want to print and then manually upload it to your state website.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Taxes and then select Payroll Tax.
  2. Select the Annual Forms link.
  3. Click on the W-2, Copies B, C & 2 links.
  4. Set the period year.
  5. Choose the View button to review and print the form.
  6. Click on the Print icon.

 

Also, you can use PDF copies of the Federal W-2 and convert them to a .txt format using a third-party app.

 

Additionally, I've added an article that'll help you learn more about how to fill the W-2 boxes: Understand Why the Wage Amounts are Different on your Employee's W-2.

 

I'd appreciate it if you'll update us if you need assistance filing and managing W-2 forms. We're always here to help you out.
