Hi there, Angela.

I understand the importance of printing Forms W-2c and W-3c in red-ink versions. However, this option is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop. I'm here to help you achieve your goal so you can print it in red ink.

If you're using QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Assisted, you can contact us to receive a copy of the W-2c to provide to your employee and an updated W-3 copy to print for your records. The expert can inform you and your employee about the expected delivery date of the W-2c and W-3c forms.

If you're not using QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Assisted, only blank and perforated papers are supported in QBDT. As the SSA only accepts e-filed reports and official red-ink forms or approved substitute versions, you can print W2c on a blank paper and manually transfer or enter the information into a preprinted form in red ink.

For comprehensive guidance on preparing W-2c and W-3c forms accurately, I recommend checking out this article: Fix an incorrect W-2 and W-3.

I'm thrilled to assist you with any other questions about payroll forms. Please don't hesitate to reply below.
