You're unable to correct the employee's address once the W-2 is submitted in QuickBooks, kim hind.
Aside from the employee address, there are other two things that can't be corrected.
- Employee prefix (Mr., Mrs., etc.)
- Employee address
- Business address
You need to create and file a W-2c form with the Social Security Administration manually. To do this, see the General Instructions for Forms W-2c and W-3c section in General Instructions for Forms W-2 and W-3.
Once settled, you can enter the new address of the employee. That way, it will reflect on the next tax return.
Here's how to update the address.
- Go to the Payroll menu, then Employees.
- Select the employee's name.
- Select Edit ✎ on the section you want to update.
- Edit their info and select Done.
