I'm happy to assist you with printing your official payroll forms in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP), j121955. Ensuring these forms are correctly processed can be crucial for complying with the Social Security Administration's (SSA) requirements.

 

Before anything else, when filing your form W-3 depends on how your W-2s are filed with the SSA.

 

  • If you mail the W-2 copy A to the SSA, you'll need to file Form W-3 along with the W-2 copy A.
  • You don't need to file Form W-3 if we file your W-2s for you, or you file them electronically with our payroll services.

 

Here’s how to print your W-3 form:

 

  1. Go to Taxes, then Payroll tax, and select Filings
  2. Click Resources, then W-2s
  3. Review the list of employees who opted for a printed copy.  
  4. If your automated taxes and forms setting is Off: review your Form W-2 print setting. Select the Change setting to change the paper type if needed. 
  5. Choose View or Manage on the W-3 Summary Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements.
  6. Select View and print
  7. Click the Print icon on the Adobe Reader toolbar, then select Print.

 

 

For more information and comprehensive guidance on the necessary steps involved, you can refer to this article which provides instructions on how to print your W-2 and W-3 forms. This resource will help you navigate the process efficiently.

 

Just a heads up, if you have 10 or more combined W-2 forms, along with any other federal forms that need to be filed, you have the option to submit them electronically.
