Question

printing of W3C on plain paper

I know it is ok to print W2/W3 on plain paper to submit to SSA, but how about W2C/W3C?  Can they also be printed on plain paper, black/white, and not the red form?

Hi there, ccutright.

 

You've come to the right place for assistance with QuickBooks. I'd be glad to lend a hand and provide some info about the W-3c form.

 

This form has specific boxes and instructions so it does require an actual form. You can request official W-3c forms by contacting the IRS. You can also file online at the Social Security website (https://www.ssa.gov/).

 

Please feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions.

QuickBooks doesn't print a scan-able form on plain paper? I'm surprised!  I thought it did, since your help topic says it does.  And since it says it does not print on the official SSA form.

 

So, you're claiming the official Intuit help is wrong when it says:

Note: At this time, QuickBooks Desktop can only print W-2c/W-3c forms on perforated paper, not pre-printed forms. E-filing is not an option.

Yes, they can be printed on plain paper - both the employee and SSA copies -  which is the only option QB Desktop offers.

    It sounds like this can’t be done on QB Online then?

    Good afternoon, @PivotalLife20.

     

    Thanks for following the thread. I'm happy to provide some insight into printing a W3C in QuickBooks Online. 

     

    You'll need to create and file a W-2c form with the Social Security Administration manually. To do this, see the General Instructions for Forms W-2c and W-3c sections in General Instructions for Forms W-2 and W-3. At this time, QuickBooks Online does not offer this feature. I can see how this would be beneficial for you and your business. I've submitted a feedback request to our product development team, so this can be considered in a future update.
