Employees and payroll

I'd be happy to walk you through the steps, mygatorcleaning.

 

Regardless of the current employee status, you can generate their W-2 as long as they have paychecks recorded during the year. Before doing so, make sure the following information is correct:

 

  • Names, address, and social security numbers.
  • Retirement plan eligibility.

Then, follow these steps to get the form:

 

  1. Go to Taxes > Payroll Tax.
  2. Under Forms, click the Annual Forms link.
  3. Scroll down at the bottom and select W-2, Copies B, C & 2. If prompted, tell us whether or not one or more employees were active participants in a retirement plan during the tax year.
  4. Choose the Report period and then press the View button.
