When you select W3 it has a view tab and it will not pull up the report.

Welcome to Community, @arlandrum1.

 

I have some information about pulling up the 2021 W-3 form. Since the W-3 form is a summary of your W-2 forms, they are usually available towards the end of the year. This summary document provides a quick overview of the W-2 forms that are attached and sent with the form when you filed them.

 

However, if you're trying to file the 2020 W-3 forms you can file them by following these steps below.

 

  1. Go to Payroll, then Overview.
  2. From Tasks, tick the Show more dropdown to view all forms due.
  3. From W-2 Copies A & D, select File now.
  4. Choose Annual Forms, then W-2 Copies A & D.
  5. Hit Continue.
  6. If prompted, tell us whether or not one or more employees were active participants in a retirement plan during the tax year.
  7. On the Employer Copies: Form W-2 page, tap View to open Acrobat Reader.
  8. Review and print Copy D (Employer's copy) for your records.
  9. Click Submit to authorize us to file Copy A of Form W-2 electronically for you.

 

After we processed your W-2 filing, we'll send you and email letting you know it's complete. You can also check the status though:

 

  1. Go to Taxes, then Payroll Taxes.
  2. Select Payroll forms or filings, then W-2.

 

If you want to print the form, you can refer to this article for the detailed steps: Print your W-2 forms.

 

Want to learn more about the process? Check out this guide: File your W-2 forms.

 

Also, here's a link that covers all tasks you can do when using the payroll feature.

 

Keep me posted if you still have questions or concerns with payroll forms. I'm always here to assist you. Take care and have good one.

Hello!

I don't need to file, I just need to access the W3 form for printing and I am not able to. The view button does nothing when selected.

    Welcome to the thread, @PCoyne.

     

    I'd be happy to guide how to print W-3 form in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

     

    Let's try opening your account in a private (incognito) window. Using a safe browser and accessing the program from there can usually fix the issue.

     

    Check out these keyboard shortcuts:

    • Command + Shift + N (Safari)
    • Ctrl+ Shift + N (Google Chrome)
    • Ctrl + Shift + P (Mozilla Firefox) 

    Once done, try to print W-3 form again by following below steps:

    1. In the left menu, click Taxes.
    2. Go to the Payroll Tax tab.
    3. In the Forms section, click Annual Forms.
    4. Choose W-3, then View.
    5. A PDF form will open.
    6. Choose the printer icon to print.

    If it works, go back to your default browser and clear cache. See Clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online for more information.

     

    In case you'd want to have a copy of W-3 form for the previous years, you can run and print the Tax and Wage Summary report.

     

    For more details about W-3, see below articles:

    Please know that I'm just a post away if you have any other questions about the Form W-3. Wishing you and your business continued success.
