Thanks for posting here, @dubeysai,

 

I can help you do your W-2 corrections. Please note that the amendment process may differ for every QuickBooks Online Payroll versions.

 

If you're using QuickBooks Online Payroll Enhanced, you must create and file a W-2c form with the Social Security Administration manually. W-2C form is currently unavailable for this payroll service which is why you need to do it outside the program. See the General Instructions for Forms W-2c and W-3c section in General Instructions for Forms W-2 and W-3.

 

For QuickBooks Online Payroll Core, QuickBooks Online Payroll Premium, QuickBooks Online Payroll Elite and QuickBooks Online Payroll Full Service subscribers, we will be the one to fix it. Our experts will file a W-2C form with the SSA, and mail the W-2c to your employee. You’ll also receive a copy of the amended form.

 

To request a correction, please contact our Support Team. Here are the steps to do that:

  1. Go to the Help menu then select Contact us.
  2. Enter the keyword Payroll, Account Management and Billing in the What can we help you with? box.
  3. On the next screen, scroll down to the Choose a way to connect with us section.
  4. Choose Start messaging to initiate a discussion with a live agent or Get a call for callbacks.
  5. When using the messaging option, make sure to enable pop-up windows. The chat box will appear at the bottom right section of your monitor, and an agent will be with you after filling in the information needed. See this:

  6. When you're connected, provide all the information about your concern or request a viewing session with out representative.

 

The expert you talk to will let you know approximately when you and your employee should expect to receive the W-2C.

I also have in correct social security numbers that need corrected. I first initiated a chat. Which took forever to be told she was on hold with the back office and would email me. I get the email and it states nothing other than a amended W2 needs to be done. The worst part I couldn't even respond to know how to do this. So I called back and I was told that I had to do the form my self. We pay for premium so I am confused as it stated only enhance has to do that themselves. So I am asking with premium service we have you guys file and take care of everything why is this not included to have W2c done and filed?

Thanks for chiming in on this thread, @deborahjtappan.

 

I'm here to provide some clarifications with your W-2 correction concern. 

 

Who fixes your W-2 depends on your payroll subscription. If you're using Core, Premium, Elite and have the auto pay and file turned on, we file your W-2s for you. Therefore, you’ll need to contact our QuickBooks Payroll Support to request a correction. 

 

Here's how you can reach out to them:

 

  1. Click the Help menu in the upper-right hand corner.
  2. Type in "Talk to a human", then press Enter.
  3. Look for I still need a human and click on it.
  4. Select Get help from a human or Contact Support Team.
  5. Choose between Send a message, Schedule an appointment, or Get a callback.

 

Then, they’ll fix it, file a W-2c form with the SSA, and mail it to your employee. You’ll also receive a copy. Our payroll specialist will let you know approximately when you and your employee should expect to receive the W-2c.

 

In case you have further questions about W-2, please check out this link: File your W-2 forms.

 

I'm also adding this article to answer the most commonly asked questions about correcting and amending W2 forms: Fix an incorrect W-2

 

I want to make sure this is taken care of for you. Please get back to me about how this goes. I'll be right here to continue helping. Have a great day.
