Employee payroll center has no listing for W2 or W3's in file forms cant print on standard w2-3 forms

I can see that you're having challenges when trying to prepare your tax forms, pedalhead. I'm here to assist you and ensure that you can see them and file the W2 forms on time.

Let's start by making sure both the software maintenance and payroll updates are installed in your QuickBooks.

Use these articles as your guide:

Next, use the QuickBooks Tool Hub. This helps us identify and fix small data errors that can be causing the forms to not show up. Let me show you how:

1. Download the most recent version (1.6.0.3) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. 
2. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe). You can look it up in your Downloads folder or in the location you selected when you downloaded it.
3. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
4. Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.
5. Once opened, look for Program Problems, then select Quick Fix my Program.
6. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

For additional details on using the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub to fix various errors and data issues, feel free to check out this article: Fix Common Problems and Errors With the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.

After that, go back to the File Forms tab and check if the tax forms are now showing up.
