Has there been any change to the inability to print  W2s with a truncated SSN?  Will this feature be available for W-2s printed for 2022?

Thanks for posting this here in the Community, @keff. I'll share some details about printing W2 forms with shortened SSNs in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

Before anything else, know that I can see how helpful it is to be able to enter a shortened SSN. However, the option you're trying to access in QuickBooks is unavailable.

 

What I can do to help you is I can input the steps below so you can send a request to our Product Development Team. This way, they'll see your recommendation and consider it. To begin, here's how:

 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Desktop company.
  2. Go to Help, and then click Send Feedback Online.
  3. Select Product Suggestion.
  4. Choose the type of feedback by clicking the dropdown arrow.
  5.  Enter a brief description of your request.
  6. Once done, click the Send Feedback Button.

 

Additionally, here's an article to help you print W-2 and other tax forms: Print your W-2 and W-3 forms.

 

You can also visit this page to for this year's instructions for forms W-2 and W-3: General Instructions for Forms W-2 and W-3 (2022).

 

@keff, if you have any additional QuickBooks-related concerns or need help performing specific tasks in QuickBooks. Know that you can always get back to me, and I'll be happy to assist you again. Take care, and have a good one!

My Employees are complaining that their SSNs are not truncated on their W2 forms produced by Intuit Assisted Payroll.  When is this feature going to be available?

Good evening, @DawnD12. 

 

Thanks for joining in on this thread. I hate to hear that your employee's are complaining about their SSN on their W2's are not truncated. 

 

At this time, we don't have a specific date for when this will become available. However, I recommend submitting feedback as well so our Product Developers will see this needs to be improved as soon as possible. 

 

I'm only a post away if you have any other questions. Take care!
