W2 E File to IRS

Using Desktop version with Enhanced Payroll. I want to verify that I have e-filed my W-2 forms with the SSA. I have not been yet set up to e-file with the IRS. (In process) But it says I do not need to register to file with the SSA. I choose to e-file the W-2s and it seemed to work. But I have no way to know that the info went to quickbooks and then on to the SSA.

Re: W2 E File to IRS

Hi there, @fakramer.

 

Welcome to the Community. I can help you check the status of the E-filed W-2 in QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

You can check the forms you electronically sent under the Filing History. 

 

Here's how:

  1. From the Employees menu, select Payroll Tax Forms and W-2s.
  2. Select Process Payroll Forms. 
  3. Under Filing History, click the E-Filings tab.
  4. Click the View link in the Audit Trail column for more details.

Also, after you sent the form, you'll receive an email confirmation about its status. 

 

I've included some articles about e-filing forms:

For additional help, feel free to reach out to our phone support agents. They can check your account and verify the status of the Form W-2 you e-filed.

Re: W2 E File to IRS tracking number

I  checked my tracking number in QB e-filing history and printed it. Then I received my confirmation email with a Different tracking number. Should I be concerned? I truly believe I only filed one time.

Re: W2 E File to IRS tracking number

Hello there, KNSDLL.

 

I'm here to provide some additional clarification on your question with filing W-2 forms electronically in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

The tracking number showing within the QuickBooks program is for internal tracking when e-filing forms. We use this to check the status of the forms filed within the system.

 

IRS also have tracking numbers to verify filings sent from individual and business customers. If you still want to reach out to the IRS E-File Help Desk for verification, I'm adding the link I recommend:

 

IRS E-File Help Desk.

 

Feel free to let me know if there's anything else I can do for you today. The Community will keep an eye out on your response.
