I just discovered that if you have $10 million or more in payroll, Quickbooks will not produce W-2s in one group. I just wanted to know if anyone has ever encountered any problems efiling multiple W-3s. It makes me very nervous.

Welcome to the Community, SDavis52.
Allow me to provide information about filing your W-2s through QuickBooks.
Although the forms in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) don't support values that large when printing W-2s, you can still file your taxes in groups.
Here's how to batch file your W-2s:
The number of employees in that batch will show at the right side. If the total is greater than $9,999,999.99, edit the range until the number is less than that. Then, repeat the steps above for each group of employees. You should have no problems in creating and filing as many W-2s or W-3s as you need.
For more info, here's an article on filing to the agencies through QuickBooks: File your W-2 and W-3 forms.
You may want to print your forms for record-keeping purposes. Here's a guide on how to do it: Print your W-2 and W-3 forms.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have additional concerns about producing your W-2 forms. The Community is available 24/7 to assist you.

@SDavis52 RE: I just wanted to know if anyone has ever encountered any problems efiling multiple W-3s. It makes me very nervous.
This won't be an issue at all with the SSA. They accept multiple batches of W-2's from one company/EIN.
In fact, few remember anymore that - when paper filing - they used to demand W-2's to be filed in batches of 50 or less, where each batch had a W-3 for that batch.
Also, it if helps, note that when you e-file there isn't actually a W-3 at all in the data that is sent. There are just W-2's with a total record in the EFW2 file format that is used.
Thank you, that makes me feel a lot better.
