Hello there, @Kim-fbw.

 

Let me share information about correcting W2 in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Yes, if you are making corrections with your W2 in QuickBooks Desktop, you can print W2-C and manually file them with the Social Security Administration.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Open QuickBooks Desktop
  2. Select Employees, then Payroll Center, then choose the File Forms tab.
  3. Hit Annual Form W-2c/W-3c - corrected Wage and Tax Statement, then Create Form.
  4. Choose the employee’s last name and click OK.
  5. Select the employee(s) who need a W-2c. Click Review/Edit.
  6. Answer the question: Have you made the W-2 corrections in QuickBooks Desktop?
    If Yes - The current QuickBooks Desktop info shows in the Correct information column on the W-2c. Enter the Previously Reported amount for the items that should be corrected.
    If No - The current QuickBooks Desktop info shows in the Previously Reported column on the W-2c. Review each W-2c worksheet and enter the correct amounts in the Correct Information column.
  7. Review each page and select Next as needed.
  8. Check the box Check if this is a W-2c (corrected W-2).
  9. Fill in only the lines that need to be fixed in both the Previously Reported and Correct Information columns. Do this on Federal, State and local info as needed.
  10. Remove the amounts from the remaining lines. Right-click on the amounts and select Override, then delete the amounts. Do this on Federal, State and local info as needed.
