Missing employees in e-filing W2

I deselected a couple employees by accident when e-filing W2. Question: 1) is there a way to check the list of W2's that were e-filed?  2) if the two W2's are indeed missing, how to fix it? I tried to submit another e-filing for W2 but got rejected. Do I file a W2C? Does Quickbooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced provide W2C e-filing, and if so, do I just add these two W2? Thank you.

Missing employees in e-filing W2

Welcome to the Community space, @xiaoyanzou. Let me help you submit the missing employees in your W-2s.

 

First, you can run reports to check the W-2s you've e-filed. Follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu and select Payroll Center.
  2. Pick the File Forms tab.
  3. Under Filing History, choose the Save Filings or E-Filings tab.
  4. Tap the form to view it. 

 

Second, you can only present the form once. That's why the system rejects the resubmission. Please know that QuickBooks Desktop does not support e-filing W-2c. Therefore, you'll need to print the corrected forms on perforated paper (not pre-printed) and manually file them with the Social Security Administration.

 

Furthermore, you can contact our Payroll Support if you're referring to the number of employees included in the submission. They can help you determine if you'll need to e-file W-2 again for the deselected employees only.

Stay in touch if you have other questions about filing corrected W-2 forms. I'll be more than glad to assist you. Have a productive day!
