Filing W-2s with Hawaii State

Hi there, thanks for joining the thread. 

I can help you file W2s with Hawaii state in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

You can choose either to create your W2s or file them electronically with QBDT Payroll Enhanced. It depends on your state. If you're in Hawaii, you'll need to create your file manually. Then, mail it to your state. Follow these steps for creating the file you'll send to the state.

1. Select Employees, then Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s, and then create State W-2 E-file.
2. Select Continue twice.
3. Select your state from the dropdown, then select Get QuickBooks Data.
4. Select OK. If you need to, fix any errors or add missing info.
5. Select the Add-Ins tab to locate the QuickBooks Payroll State W-2 dropdown and choose Start Interview.
6. Check the box I understand that I must review my data and answer the following questions. Then select Next.
7. Note the file name and location. Select Next.
8. Answer the questions in the interview and review any auto-populated info.
9. Select Next until you reach the End of Interview.
10. Choose to Create W-2 File, then select OK.
11. Select Yes to save the Excel workbook for your records.
