We have QuickBooks Online Payroll Premium. When will we be able to see our employees W2 for 2020?

Good day, @user26582.

I'll help you view this report in QuickBooks.

The Form W-2 for 2020 is already available in QuickBooks Online Payroll Premium. You can find this form under the Forms section in your Payroll Tax tab. Let me show you how:

1. Go to the Taxes menu and select Payroll Tax.
2. From the Forms tab, click Annual Forms.
3. Look for the W-2 tax form and click it to open.

I use QBO as an accountant and two of my clients have Payroll Premium. The instructions here do not follow what I see. Instead, I see this path to find the Archived W-2s for 2020: Taxes > Payroll Tax > Filings > Archived Forms and Filings > W-2, Copies A & D. Why is there such a difference in how to get to W-2s?

Hi lbgiles0218!

QuickBooks Online has different payroll plans. Each plan has different features, user interfaces, and ways on how to generate the forms. It's great that you were able to find it. You can also check the updated and detailed steps here: Print your W-2 forms.

If you have more questions about W-2, you can check this link: Get answers to your W-2 questions.

Keep your posts coming if you have more concerns. We'll respond as soon as we can.

Thank you for the reply; however, I should have been more specific with my question. The original question stated that QBO Payroll Premium was the feature used and the first response provided an explanation that did not match what I see in my Payroll Premium account interface. Why are there two different approaches for the same product: Payroll Premium?

Thanks for the reply, lbgiles0218.

I understand that there may be differences with the steps shared on this thread.

QuickBooks Online has a new user interface to make it more user-friendly. Some changes may not reflect automatically to some users which is why what you've seen and the steps on the first response aren't the same.
