Let me share info about the QuickBooks Payroll Core program of how W-2 forms work on it.
If you use QBO Payroll Core, Premium, or Elite, your state W-2s are automatically filed with your Federal W-2s, there's nothing you need to do. We'll also send copies to your employees if they opt for a paper copy.
For more info about this, check out this article: File your W-2 and W-3 forms.
You might want to have flexibility in how you want your payroll taxes and filings handled. Feel free to read this article: Set up QuickBooks Online Payroll to pay and file your payroll taxes and forms.

Thank you for your response and I have another question.
Some of my employees did not give us their email address so they do not access to their Workforce to see w2 so I am not sure if they are opt in or out for the paper w2.
In this case, the paper W2 still mail to their address from QB?
Warm welcome, Jason. Let me share information on how W-2 works and whether your contractors will receive copies in QuickBooks Online.
Yes, If your employees did not send an email address, we’ll mail the W-2s to your employees’ home addresses indicated in the employee's profile via USPS starting January 16 through January 31.

Welcome to the Community, @Rick.
Depending on your payroll tax setup, we’ll file your W-2s automatically, or you’ll have to e-file them through QuickBooks.

also if they are signed up to see paystubs in quickbooks does that means they are enroll to paperless W2?

My boss doesn't seem to be finding a solution, so help would be greatly appreciated.
