The process for submitting corrected forms varies based on your payroll service, Laura187. We can produce W-2c and W-3c to amend the originally filed documents and include the missing employee. Let me share the specifics below.
If you're using QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced, let’s print the W-2c and W-3c on perforated paper, and then file them manually with the Social Security Administration. Follow the steps below:
- Go to the Employees menu, then Payroll Center.
- Navigate to the File Forms tab.
- Select Annual Form W-2c/W-3c - corrected Wage and Tax Statement, then Create Form.
- Select the employee’s last name, then OK.
- Choose the employee(s) who need a W-2c. Select Review/Edit.
- Answer the question: Have you made the W-2 corrections in QuickBooks Desktop?
- Review each page and select Next as needed.
- Check the box Check if this is a W-2c (corrected W-2).
- Fill in the necessary lines in the Previously Reported and Correct Information columns for Federal, State, and local info as needed.
- Click Override, then delete the amounts. Do this on Federal, State, and local info as needed.
Conversely, manually create and file a W-2C form with the SSA. Please refer to the General Instructions for Forms W-2c and W-3c section for guidance in the General Instructions for Forms W-2 and W-3. Additionally, you can resolve the issue in the program and then generate any payroll reports to complete the W-2C form.
