None of our employees have received their W2 yet. Why is that?

My employees have also not received their W-2s.

Also my contractors have also not received electronic or mail copies of their 1099s.

My contractors are having issues as well.  One said they couldn't log in to see their 1099's, and another one of my contractors was able to login and got a message saying her 1099 was NOT AVAILABLE.  

I am getting calls off the hook from upset employees....This is a mess!  

Hello there, @CCS5. 

Let's go over some simple troubleshooting techniques, and ensure the problem isn't with your browser. The cause of this strange behavior is probably local internet cache files.

Let's start by using a private browser to log into QuickBooks. Here's how to do it:

• Command + Shift + N (Safari)
• Ctrl+ Shift + N (Google Chrome)
• Ctrl + Shift + P (Mozilla Firefox)

If they can see their 1099s, they need to delete the cache in their browser. Here's a link to an article that can assist them with the process: Clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online.

Here's how to view the document: 

1. From the left panel, click Clients.
2. Click the Client to view your 1099 form. 
3. Hit the Tax forms tab. 

If you need some answers to frequently asked questions about 1099s, you can browse these articles:

• What is 1099? And do I need to file one?
• Do I need to file 1099 forms with my state?
• Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online 

I'm still here if you need more help with other 1099 issues. Just leave a reply below, and I'll keep an eye on it.

None of my employees have received their w2's for 2021? I am quite disappointed with Intuit! They have no problem charging us the fees! All they have to do is mail the documents on time!

Hi there, PB29. 

Let me help you sort this out by guiding you on how to make sure that you'd want to let your employees try accessing and viewing their W2 using a private or incognito window.

Oftentimes, the stored data of their regular browser becomes overwhelmed which potentially affects your browser's performance when navigating in QuickBooks. This mode doesn't use the existing cache data and helps us confirm browser-related issues. Here's how:

• For Google Chrome browser: Ctrl + Shift + N
• For Mozilla Firefox browser: Ctrl + Shift + P
• For Safari browser: Command + Option + P

If it works, you'd want to clear the cache of your regular browser to delete those temporarily stored files and browsing history. Also, you can use other supported, up-to-date browsers to roll out the possibility of a browser-related issue.

As an employer, you can email/print your employees a copy of their W2s. Here's how:

1. Select Taxes on the left menu and go to the Payroll Tax tab.
2. Under the Forms section, click the Annual Forms hyperlink.
3. Under Annual Tax Forms, select an employee or All Employees.
4. Click W-2, Copies B,C & 2.
5. Click the View button and download the previewed W2 forms.
6. Print or Email it to your employees.

I've attached some pages about handling W-2 forms and other related matters.

• Get answers to your W-2 questions
• Reports and info about W-2 and W-3 forms
• W2 form boxes explained

• Workers and employees

Let me know in the comment section how the action goes. Thanks for your patience as we work for a fix. Keep safe!

What does browser Caching and using Incognito windows have to do with QuickBooks Online not sending emails and/or printed W-2s and 1099s as they said they would and we have paid for the service.

This is outrageous. QuickBooks says that they will do something, we as customers and businesses do what we need to do by the deadline and then QuickBooks doesn't do their part but charges us for the service anyway?

Can you please just answer the questions, why have none of my Employees received their W-2s via email or mail (printed) and why have none of my Contractors received their 10922 via email or mail (printed). I have been on with QuickBooks Chat for 30+ mins and have only gotten so far as to verify my company and identify.

Hello, @alexryan7.

I wanted to chime in and cover some details about our payroll services. 

If you have Core, Premium, Elite, Full Service or Assisted Payroll, Intuit will print and mail employee W-2s for you automatically. However, for Enhanced or other do-it-yourself subscriptions, it must be done manually. I've included some steps to print the W-2s manually below, in case you're using our Enhanced or other do-it-yourself subscription. 

Here's how: 

1. Click the Taxes menu found on the left toolbar.
2. Go to the Payroll Tax tab.
3. In the Forms section, tap the Annual Forms link.
4. Pick either All Employees or a specific employee name from the drop down.
5. Select the W-2, Copies B, C & 2 link to view the Printable Employee Copies: Form W-2 page.
6. Use the correct period from the drop down menu, then press View to launch the Adobe Reader window.
7. Hit the print icon on the Reader toolbar and select Print again.

That should do it. You can see additional information about this process in the help articles I've included below. 

• Print your W-2 and W-3 forms 
• View and print employee W-2 forms.
• W-2 General form and filing information

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I'm always here to lend a hand. Take care! 

Again your response does not answer the question. I do have the service that said they would do it for me.

Did you (QuickBooks support) know that there is an issue under investigation where not just my company but other companies as well as experiencing the same problem of W-2s not being delivered via email or mail?

Did you know that there are other companies reporting the same issue of 1099s not being delivered electronically, emails not being sent to Contractors to access their 1099s electronically and 1099s that show as submitted on QuickBooks Online have not been sent to contractors?

This has nothing to do with my service type, browser caching, or lack of understanding of how the system works nor me not completing the forms and tasks in QuickBooks Online. 

This is an issue that support confirmed others are reporting. It is very sad that support knows less about their systems than your customers do.

I agree with you. By law they are suppose to be postmarked by 1/31 and to pay for the service and them not do it is Outrageous! and not everyone can go online to get them. Im SO glad that I dont pay them to do it and that I did mine myself. Quickbooks seems to be falling short yet again. They need to address their "lack of" or they will loose more customers

We have the same issue as well as of 02/06 none of our employees have received their W2’s in the mail. 

Hey there, CCS Buildings.

All W-2s that were mailed will be delivered within 7 business days. If your employees haven't received the forms on the allocated time, I'd suggest getting in touch with our QuickBooks Support to have this investigated.

All account and payroll form-related concerns need to be directed to our phone support for security purposes. Unlike in this public forum, they have the tools required to perform any escalations in the system whenever necessary on your behalf.

Please be reminded that our Support Team is available from 6:00 AM until 6:00 PM on weekdays, and 6:00 AM till 3:00 PM PT on Saturdays. Here's how to contact us:

1. Click the Help (?) icon.

2. Choose Contact Us.

3. Enter a brief description of your situation in the What can we help you with? area, then click Let's talk.

4. You'll be presented with a few options for connecting with Intuit. Select Get a call.

In the meantime, you might want to invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce so they can access their W-2s online. Here's an article that provides more details about this: 

Invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see pay stubs, W-2s and more.

Please get back to me if there's anything else you need. I'd be more than willing to lend you a hand.

Already been contacted and was no help. Only thing the support specialists said was they have been mailed out on 01/21 and she would give it another week. Which is a waste of time if they have been mailed out on the 21st because if they were we should already have them by now.
