How can I get my W-2s into EFW2 format?

Hi there, Native Earth.

 

Thanks for joining this thread. I want to make sure you're able to get the W-2 info entered correctly in your QuickBooks Desktop account.

 

I recommend first making sure the payroll program is operating with the most recent update. The following article will walk you through the process of updating your payroll account: Get latest payroll news and updates in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll

1. Go to Help, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us.

4. Sign in to your Intuit account and select Continue and then Continue with my account.

5. We'll email you a single use code. Enter your code and select Continue.

The SSA only accepts EFW2 in .txt format. How do I get this in quickbooks desktop? I'm only allowed to download the pdf

How can I get my W-2s into EFW2 format?

Hello there, missjulia. Allow me to share some information regarding the EFW2 format. 

 

EFW2 stands for electronic W2. The deadline for electronic filing in QuickBooks is January 30. Since you exceeded the deadline for e-filing of W2-s, in the meantime, you can download the PDF and manually file it with the SSA. 

 

Meanwhile, you can run a report to view the payroll wages, taxes, deductions, and contributions in QuickBooks Desktop for future use. 

 

Whenever you need assistance with your W-2s, you can return to this thread anytime. You can use the reply button below to enter your queries.
