Can I change the format for W2 forms?

The forms that I received are for three person per sheet. For I printed a sample and it printed four people in one sheet. Can I switch to three so I do not need to reorder forms?

Can I change the format for W2 forms?

Hello,

 

If you go to Gear Icon/Payroll Settings/Preferences/Form W-2 Printing Settings... you should see an option for 3 or 4 part perforated paper.

 

You can also print on plain paper.

Can I change the format for W2 forms?

I have no Preference in payroll settings and nothing that show W2s. No one through a QB chat can help me.  I'm hoping the community can.

Can I change the format for W2 forms?

I've got your covered, @BRfrustrated.

 

Let's isolate this unexpected behavior  by accessing your account using a private browser or an incognito browser. You can use either of these keyboard shortcuts: 

  • Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome)
  • Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox)
  • Control + Option + P (Safari)

Once logged in, let's set your W2 preferences. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Choose Payroll Settings.
  3. Select the Preferences tab.
  4. Pick the Form W-2 Printing Settings.
  5. Mark the radio button that corresponds to the W2 form format you want to use: 

If you're not seeing the W2 options, its possible that you have opt to automate your payroll taxes. You can read through this article for more detailed information: Turn off automatic tax payments and form filings.
