How do I edit a not filed w2

Hello there, @pastorarosilia.

I'm glad you've reached out to us. Let me help and walk you through on how to add an item on the W-2 form. 

If you'd like to reflect the item in the W-2 form, you'll have the option to manually report the transit tax in Box 14. To do this, here's how:

1. Go to the Employees tab and select Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s.
2. Choose Process Payroll Forms.
3. Double-click the Annual Form W-2/W-3 Wage and Tax Statement/Transmittal.
4. Enter the correct year, then click on OK.
5. Mark the employees you want to view.
6. Click Review/Edit.
7. Click the Form W-2 link at the top of the form.
8. In Box 14, enter the transit tax description and the amount.
9. Click the Check for errors button.

Once done, you can now file the W-2 form. For additional reference, you can check this article: Process and file W-2 forms. 

If you need further assistance with the steps, I recommend calling our QuickBooks Online Support Team. They have additional tools to pull up your account and do a remote session.

I’ve waited 5 weeks for customer service to fix my w-2s. My state and local should be the same amount and they are not. I’m ready to call the IRS. Maybe that will get their attention. 

I believe the solution is the following:  When reviewing the W-2 form, select the box that contains the abbreviation and right click.  Select Override and enter the text you want to see.

I'm In preview,  Cannot edit,  Where is "review?"

Thank you for joining the thread, @ffalligant1.

Let me help clarify why you cannot edit and find the Review option in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

To begin with, the steps given by my colleague @JanyRoseB are for QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). For QBO, the option to edit is unavailable. However, If you want to fix the incorrect W-2 and W-3 will depend on your automated taxes and form settings. However, please note that there are things on the W-2 that cannot be fixed which are:

• Employee prefix (Mr., Mrs., etc.)
• Employee address
• Business Name
• Business address

If you have enabled the automated taxes and forms feature in QBO, the platform will file your W-2s for you. However, if there is any error in the information provided, you’ll need to contact us to request a correction. Our team will fix the issue and file a W-2C form with the SSA. You will receive a copy of the W-2c to provide to your employee, and an updated W-3 copy to keep for your records. Our experts will also let you know the approximate timeline for when you and your employee can expect to receive the corrected forms.

But if you notice a mistake before you file your W-2s and W-3, and if your automated taxes and forms are turned off, you can fix the mistake without filing a W-2c form. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Fix the issue with your product.
2. File your W-2 forms as you normally would.

If you or one of your employees discovers an error in your filed W-2s and W-3, you will need to manually create and file a W-2c and W-3 form with the Social Security Administration. To do this, see the General Instructions for Forms W-2c and W-3c section in the General Instructions for Forms W-2 and W-3.

Once done, you can fix the issue in your product, then use any payroll reports you need to fill out the W-2C form.

For future reference, I'll also add this article to guide you in printing W-2s and if you send paper copies to your employees, for your own records, or a W-3 to send to your accountant: Print your W-2 and W-3 forms.

Please don't hesitate to leave a comment below. If you have any other concerns about Fixing W2 that contains wrong data or other QBO-related concerns. I'll be here to assist you.

As you move through the W-2 creation process, the window opens titled "Select Employees for Form W-2/W-3".  At the bottom of that window is the button option to "Review/Edit".  It will open each employee's W-2 for review.  Within that form, you can right-click and choose Override to manually enter the value.
