Question

My 2022 Forms W-2 were mistakenly "archived" as if they were filed for 2022, even though I will have more payroll for the rest of this year. Is there anyway to"undo" it?

I need to undo the archive of the 2022 W-2 as I have future payrolls to add before the end of this year.  How can I undo the archived forms?  The W-2's for this year were not E-filed yet.

Hello there, @tauzerapiaries. I'm here to ensure you'll be able to unarchive the W-2 form in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Let me discuss some details on how you can perform the process.

 

In QBO, you can undo the archived form by deleting it. Here's how:

 

  1. In your QBO company, select the Taxes menu,
  2. Then, click Payroll Tax.
  3. Next, select View Archived Forms in the Annual Forms section.
  4. Look for the W-2 form.
  5. From there, click Delete.

 

However, if you can't see this option, I recommend contacting our Customer Care team to help you unarchive the form. Refer to the steps below:

 

  1. Navigate to the Help menu and click Search.
  2. From there, select Contact Us.
  3. Then, enter a brief description of your concern.
  4. Next, choose either Start a chat or Get a callback.

 

Once done, here's how to file the form.

 

Let me know how this goes. I'd appreciate any updates you can add about this. If you have additional questions about managing your payroll forms, feel free to post a comment below. I'm always around and ready to lend a hand. Have a good day and keep safe.
