Let's get this taken care of for you, @Nanimal.

 

If you have auto pay and file turned off (you pay and file electronically or manually), you’ll need to print and mail W-2s to your employees postmarked by February 1.

 

Step 1: Purchase your W-2 paper

 You can print the employee copies on:

  • Blank 3-part perforated paper
  • Blank 4-part perforated paper

Step 2: Set or change your print preferences

  1. Select Settings, then Payroll Settings.
  2. Select Edit ✎ on W2 print preference.
  3. Select your paper type, then OK.

Step 3: Print your W-2s

You can print your W-2s starting January 1.

  1. Select Taxes, then Payroll Tax.
  2. Select Filings, then select Annual Forms.
  3. From here you can select to print both employer and employee copies of your W-2s and W-3.  Employer Copies: Form W-2 (W-2, Copies A & D)Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements (W-3)Employee Copies: Form W-2 (W-2, Copies B, C & 2).
  4. If you haven't yet set up your W-2 printing preferences, you will see a prompt Before filing this form, you much setup W-2 printing.  Select the link and select your paper.
  5. Choose the appropriate filing period from the dropdown.
  6. Select View to open Adobe Reader in a new window.
  7. Select the print icon on the Reader toolbar. Then select Print again.

Note: If you are reprinting because your employee lost or didn’t get the original W-2, write REISSUED STATEMENT on the top and include a copy of the W-2 instructions.

 

You can read more about printing W-2s by checking out this article: Print your W-2 forms.

 

I'd love to hear how this goes! If you have additional questions about this tax season or anything else within QuickBooks Online, know I'm here to help. Take care.
