Important: If you're looking to print your own W-2 or go paperless, you've come to the right place. This article is about how to get and print your W-2, or choose a paperless option in your QuickBooks Workforce account.

If you’re an employer and want to print W-2s or W-3 forms for your employees, this isn’t the right article. Here’s how to Print your W-2 and W-3 forms in QuickBooks Online.

Once your employer has invited you to QuickBooks Workforce, and you’ve set up your account, you can view and print your own W-2s. You can also view other documents your employer shares with you.

You may also be able to opt out of having your W-2 mailed to you by your employer.

Get your W-2s and other documents

You can view your W-2 copies B, C, and 2 by January 31. You can view your current year and previous two years' W-2s online. You should get your W-2 by mail in early February. If you haven't received it by then, and can't access it in QuickBooks Workforce, contact your employer.

For added security, you may need to verify your phone number or some of your personal info before you can see your W-2s.
