Hello there, @downtoearthlawns

 

Thanks for visiting the Community. QuickBooks will always keep your tax forms even when you accidentally delete them in the Archived forms section. Hence, you can still pull up to view or re-archive your W-2 Copies B, C & 2 for your 2018 return. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In the Taxes menu, go to the Payroll Tax section. 
  2. Click the Annual Forms link under the Forms column. 
  3. Select the form W-2, Copies B,C & 2
  4. Choose 2018 in the Select the period drop-down menu. 
  5. Click the View button to review or print the form. 

 

From there, you can select the Archive button for easy access in future use. 

 

Just in case, here's an article with a more detailed guide to help you learn about how to print W-2s forms
