Thank you for reaching out to the Community, bip442. I'd be happy to guide how you can obtain copies of previously submitted tax forms from within your QuickBooks Online account.

Here are the steps to access and print old tax forms that you had previously filed:

1. Go to the Tax menu and proceed to the Payroll Tax tab.
2. Select Filings and click Resources.
3. Click Archived forms and filings.
4. Look for W2.
5. Select the form and click the Print icon.

Please note that the Archived Forms section in QuickBooks Online displays previously filed forms for 2 years. 

For the W2s that are beyond 2 years, you can reach out to our Payroll Support Team to get a copy of the tax forms. 

Here's how to reach out to them: 

1. Click the Help menu in the upper-right-hand corner of QBO.
2. Proceed to the Assistant tab.
3. Type in "contact support" in the chat box and press Enter.
4. Select QuickBooks Online Support, then click Contact Us at the bottom of the screen.
5. Click Payroll.
6. Choose between Have us call you or Chat.
