The email for the W-3??  I don't think a W-3 can be emailed to the SSA, so not sure what you mean? Can you clarify?

On the W-3 transmittal form, below boxes 16-19, there are boxes that fill in containing employer info.  I can't locate where I change that information.  I thought it would be in company information but it is not.

You can go to the Payroll Tax Information section to edit the email address of the signer of the W-3 form in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), ATX Bookkeeper. I'd be happy to guide you through the process:

 

  1. On your QBDT account, go to the Company menu at the top.
  2. Choose My Company.
  3. Click on the Pencil icon.
  4. In the left menu, choose Payroll Tax Information.  Be sure you click on Payroll Tax Information on left menu!
  5. Select Auto-fill button.
  6. Enter the correct email address, then Click OK.
  7. Be sure and click on the Auto-fill button when you are in the Payroll Tax Information section - I missed it the first time through, but then re-read the instructions from a later post and figured it out!

I am referring to the W-3 transmittal page, below boxes 16-19, where it has fill-ins for the employer information.  I thought it may be in company information, but I don't see it in there either.

You’re correct. The Company Information page is the right section where you can update the email address associated with your payroll tax forms. Let me show you the steps:

 

  1. Go to your Company menu, then choose My Company.
  2. Click on the Pencil icon in the Company Information section.
  3. In the Contact Information tab, change the email address.
  4. Click OK to save.

Nope, sorry but the email that is printing on the W-3 is NOT the same email as in the "my company" information.  I also looked for it in our Intuit account setup/profile, and it is not linked to that either.

This is an old question. But I wonder if anyone has solved it. I need to change the email address for the signer on the W-3 form. My Company shows the phone number and name of the signer, but it doesn't have a line for the email address. Does anyone know how to fix this?

@ATX Bookkeeper  It's probably sourcing from the Auto Fill Contact Info box.

 

When you double-click on any given payroll tax form, the 'File Form' window will pop up.

 

On this window, in the top left corner, you'll find the 'Auto Fill Contact Info...' button.

 

This window's contents are shared where applicable across all payroll tax forms. Contains such information as Name, Phone Number, E-mail, etc.

To clarify my above answer, and because Intuit still doesn't see fit to let me edit my own post:

 

When I refer to 'double-clicking on any given payroll tax form', I am referring to the File Forms tab under the Payroll Center, where you go to actually generate your quarterly and yearly tax reports in Desktop.
