Payroll

My secretary wrote out some payroll checks last year and did not enter them into the books and now I am trying to enter them and it wont let me due to tax issues. Need to get this done so my employee has an accurate W2.

Let's make sure the paycheck is entered on your QuickBooks Payroll account, Sherman.

 

Entering payroll checks for last year needs special handling from our QuickBooks Payroll Team. Hence, I recommend contacting them so they can enter those paychecks.

 

Once the employees' W-2 forms have accurate data you can file or print them in QuickBooks.

 

When you select to print those forms, we recommend ordering W-2 paper through us. This ensures your W-2s will print correctly and your employees won’t have any issues when filing.

 

You can print the employee copies on:

 

  • Blank 3-part perforated paper
  • Blank 4-part perforated paper

 

To order your W-2 kit (includes envelopes):

 

  1. Go to QuickBooks Checks & Supplies.
  2. Select Tax Products.
  3. Select Blank W-2 Kits.
  4. Follow the on-screen steps to complete your order.

 

Then, you can print current year W-2s and W-3. Here's how:

 

  1. Select the Taxes & Forms tab.
  2. Under Forms, select the Annual Forms link.
  3. From here you can select to print both employer and employee copies of your W-2s and W-3.  Employer Copies: Form W-2 (W-2, Copies A & D)Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements (W-3)Employee Copies: Form W-2 (W-2, Copies B, C & 2).
  4. Select the View button.
  5. Click the Print icon to print.

 

If you are reprinting because your employee lost or didn’t get the original W-2, write REISSUED STATEMENT on the top and include a copy of the W-2 instructions.

 

I'm adding this link for other related W-2 questions: Learn about answers to your most common W-2 questions so you’re prepared for tax season.

 

Please get back to me if you have other payroll concerns. I'm always right here to guide you.
