Can I e-file my W-2s directly from QuickBooks Accountant Desktop using Enhanced payroll if I have to send more than 10 without going through the SSA BSO system. The software answers are not very clear.

efiling W-2s

Hello there, . Let me share some information about e-filling your W-2s in QuickBooks Accountant Desktop.

 

Yes, you can e-file your W-2s directly to QuickBooks even if you're sending more than 10. 

 

There are a few steps on e-filing your W-2s. The first one is to set up the file:

 

  1. Open QuickBooks.
  2. Select Employees, then Payroll Center.
  3. Open the QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Setup.
  4. From the Payroll Center, select the File Forms tab.
  5. From the Other Activities list at the bottom, select Change Filing Method.
  6. Select Continue.
  7. Select Federal Form W-2/W-3 from the list of forms, then select Edit.
  8. Select E-file, then Finish. This will open the enrollment instructions that you can read and print.
  9. Close the View Enrollments window.
  10. Select Finish Later.

 

Please refer to this article for the steps after: File your W-2 and W-3 forms. Click the QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced dropdown.

 

Additionally, if you want to access your filed tax forms and paid tax payments, you can check out this article: View your previously filed tax forms and payments.

 

Let me know if you have further concerns about your W-2s. I'll be here to provide assistance in any way I can. Have a great day.
