Question

Quickbooks is not automatically filing our W-2s (which are done) until January 13th. I need to print one asap. How can I do this without switching to manual file?

I'm happy to help with this, @KAM37.

 

To print W-2s, here's what you'll need to do:

1. Hover over the Taxes tab on your left-hand toolbar, then click on Payroll Tax.

2. You will be taken to the Payroll Tax Center on a new screen. Next to the Tax Payments tab you’ll find a Forms tab. Click on this tab.

3. Once you are on the Forms screen, you will see all the forms QuickBooks Payroll has filed on your behalf. These forms are organized by year and calendar quarter; find the Q4 section for the prior year and click to expand it.

4. Now you will see all the forms filed on your business’s behalf. Click on W-2-Copies B, C & 2 to download a PDF of the W-2s you will give to your employees. Make sure you are clicking on the correct option — otherwise, you will print your file copies of Form W-2 instead of the ones your employees need for their taxes.

 

5. Now you can print. Find the PDF you downloaded in Step 4, open it and print the forms just as you’d print any other PDF.

 

 

Let me know if you have any questions on this, I'm always around to help. Take care!
