Hello there, valleypersonaltr.

 

Let's perform troubleshooting steps so you can fix the Oops! We Found a problem.Error submitting filing electronically. Error reason: documentsData with an invalid value of null message and file the W-2s in QuickBooks Online efficiently.

 

While a cache can speed up your browser, it can sometimes cause an unexpected error while filing W-2s in the program. I suggest accessing your QuickBooks using a private browser and filing the said form from there. This is to rule out the possibility of a webpage issue, and private browsing doesn't store local files or cache.

 

Use these keyboard shortcuts based on the browser you're using:

 

  • For Firefox or Microsoft Edge, press Ctrl + Shift + P.
  • For Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N.
  • For Safari, hold down Command + Shift + N.

 

If it works in incognito, you have to clear the cache of your regular browser. This deletes the history or log of sites so you can start with a clean slate. If the steps above don't work, use another supported browser as an alternative.

 

In case you need details about what affects the amounts in Boxes 1, 3, and 5 on your employees’ W-2s, you can read this article: Understand why W-2 box amounts are different.

I had the same issue and neither the incognito mode in chrome nor using a different browser (microsoft edge) worked. Any additional recommendations?
