Can QB's online generate the official ESD 5208 form once the form has been filed? Not the report of hours worked but the official form from the state?

Can QB's online generate the official ESD 5208 form once the form has been filed? Not the report of hours worked but the official form from the state?

Hi kerrianne. Once you've filed forms within QuickBooks Online using the e-file service, you can access them via the Archived  Forms section. Here's how to get there:

  1. From the Taxes menu, select Payroll Tax.
  2. Select View Archived Forms in the Quarterly Forms or Annual Forms section.
  3. Choose the desired form.
  4. Select View.

And there you have it, your form will pop up after you select view and you can continue doing what you needed. Let me know if this helps, or if you want some more insight on the subject check out the article on archived forms to get another perspective.  If there's anything else I can do I'm always happy to help just leave a reply below. Have a great day.

But, am I not correct, that is if you only e-filed the report through QB's Online? If so, when you e-file but manually send your payment in how long does it take for the archived form to appear in your account?  

Thank you

Hi kerrianne. Thanks for the reply. Yes, you are correct, only forms filed or created within QuickBooks Online will appear inside of the archived forms section. If you filed and paid it outside of the system, it will not appear in the archived forms section. I'll be here if you need anything else.
