Hello there, @clake. I know a way that'll help you represent an employee twice in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), and I'm here to show you how.

You'll want to edit the employee's name by removing the special characters {} and replace them with a letter or numbers before sending them an invite to QuickBooks Workforce. This way, they'll be able to get their paystubs and W-2s. Here's how:

1. Go to the Employees menu.
2. Select Employee Center.
3. Double-click the name of the employee with {}.
4. In the Personal tab, remove the special characters {} in the employee's name and replace them with a letter or number.
5. Click OK. Repeat steps as necessary.

Once you're done, you can invite your employees to see their paystubs and W-2s online. For the detailed steps, please see this article: Invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see pay stubs, W-2s, and more.

Also, you may want to check out these articles as your reference in case you need further assistance in managing employees working in other states and submitting W-2s using QBDT: 

• Set up employees and payroll taxes in a new state
• File your W-2 forms

Please keep me posted on how it goes in the comments below. If you have other payroll concerns and questions about managing employees in QBDT Payroll, I'm always ready to help. Take care, and I wish you continued success, @clake.
