Hello there, @19644.
Let me guide you on how to print W-2 Forms in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Pro Plus.
If the QBDT Pro Plus payroll is Assisted, you can print your W-2s starting January 10. If you chose Intuit Print, you only need to print your W-2s if your employee lost or didn’t get their original W-2. Feel free to follow the steps below:
- From the Employees, select Payroll Center.
- Choose the File Forms tab.
- Pick View/Print Forms & W-2s.
- Enter your payroll PIN, then select OK.
- From the W-2s tab, select the year, then all or individual employees.
- Choose the Open/Save Selected button.
- Select the applicable reason for printing the W-2s.
- Then, File on Adobe Reader and select Print.
However, utilizing QBDT Payroll Enhanced and Standard, you can print the form on or after January 1. Here's how:
- Update QuickBooks and the payroll tax table.
- From the Employees dropdown menu, select Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s, then Process Payroll Forms.
- From the File Forms tab, scroll down and select Annual Form W-2/W-3 - Wage and Tax Statement/ Transmittal.
- Choose Create Form.
- Select all or individual employees to file.
- Enter the year, then select OK.
- Pick all or individual employees to print.
- Select Review/Edit to review each W-2. Reviewed W-2s have a checkmark in the Reviewed column.
- Once you’re done, select Submit Form and follow the steps to print and file the forms.
