Welcome to the Community, amy_n_eddie.

 

I'd be glad to help you and provide insight on where to access W3 in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

If you need a copy of the W-3 form for your records, you can find it in the Archived Forms and Filing section. However, please note that this form is only for an employer copy and isn't official for submission. To access the form, please follow the steps below.

 

If you have e-filed your W3 tax form, here's how:

 

  1. Click Taxes from the left menu, then Payroll Tax.
  2. Select the Filings tab.
  3. View your current tax forms in the ACTION NEEDED or COMING UP section. Or select Resources, then Archived forms and filings for past forms.
    • If available, select Preview to view forms not yet filed.

 

However, If you manually filed your tax form, here's how:

 

Step 1: Archive the form

  1. Go to Taxes, then Payroll Tax.
  2. Select the Filings tab.
  3. Next to the tax form you want to save or archive, select File.
  4. Select the period, then Archive.

Step 2: View the form

  1. Go to Taxes, then Payroll Tax.
  2. Select the Filings tab.
  3. Select Resources, then Archived forms and filings.
  4. Select the dropdown menu to filter the form type you want to view.
  5. Select the form name, then View.
