Join nowAn employee asked to get his W2 right now before the end of the year.
The employee has quit working for me.
How can I generate a W2 for the employee before the end of the year? Is there a way to do that?
I am using QuickBooks Online.
thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Actually, the 2022 Form W-2 is available and it is attached. Also, the IRS requires employers to provide a W-2 within 30 days of it being requested by an employee that is no longer employed.
Here is what the IRS says:
If employment ends before December 31, 2022, you may furnish copies to the employee at any time after employment ends, but no later than January 31, 2023. If an employee asks for Form W-2, give him or her the completed copies within 30 days of the request or within 30 days of the final wage payment, whichever is later.

Thanks @Rainflurry
Is there a way I can generate the W2 for an employee inside of QuickBooks online, before the end of the year? Thanks again!
According to @GebelAlainaM, no. Our payroll company has told me that they never issue W-2s before year-end and it hasn't been an issue - and they process payroll for many thousands of employees.
