You’re on the right track, @southerlandprope. I’ll share a little information about W-2 in QuickBooks Online.


Form W-2 is a tax form that employers must fill out for their employees. It shows the wages paid and taxes withheld for the year for each employee. The W-2s go to both the IRS and the SSA.


A sole proprietorship is the simplest and most common structure chosen to start a business. They do have the ability to hire employees and are legally considered sole proprietors.

 

However, if you were an employee or contractor in prior years, you can request a W2 from your previous company. 

 

Moreover, learn how to file W-2 forms and refer to this article if you have more W-2 questions in QuickBooks Online.


Give me a message for any follow-up concerns with your W-2 forms. Take care!
