You've come to the right place, Amy!

 

Printing your employee's W-2 depends if you turned on automatic tax payments and form filings or not. If you're unsure, I recommend checking the status of your automated taxes and forms.

 

  • If it's turned on (we pay and file for you), please follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to Taxes and select Payroll Tax.
  2. Click Filings and select Annual Forms.
  3. Under the Select the period dropdown, choose the year you need (2021).
  4. Select W-2, Copies B, C & 2 (employee).
  5. Click View to open Adobe Reader in a new tab and select the Print icon. Click Print again.

 

  • If the automated taxes and forms is off (you pay and file manually), here's how:

 

  1. Purchase your W-2 paper by going to QuickBooks Checks & Supplies, selecting Tax Products, and clicking Blank W-2 Kits. Follow the on-screen tips to confirm your purchase.
  2. Change your print preferences. Go to the Gear icon, then Payroll Settings. Click Edit on the W2 print preference and select the type of paper you purchased. Once done, click OK.
  3. Go to Taxes and select Payroll Tax.
  4. Select Filings and click Archived Forms.
  5. Select the year you need from the Select the period dropdown.
  6. Select W-2, Copies B, C & 2 (employee).
  7. Click View and select the Print icon on the Reader toolbar.
  8. Click Print.

 

Note: Write REISSUED STATEMENT on the top if you're reproducing a W-2 because your employee misplaced or didn't get the original. Also, include a copy of the W-2 instructions.

 

In addition, you can invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce so they can access and print their W-2s and pay stubs.

 

In case you'll need help submitting your W-2 forms to federal and state agencies, you can read this article as your guide: File your W-2 forms.
