Quickbooks has locked W2 and employer has yet to provide W2 for 2021

My employer issued a W2 in January through Quickbooks (automatic) and it was sent to an old address as we moved last year. It should have been forwarded but I never received it. My employer is now trying to reissue the W2 or just VERIFY amounts so that we can do a manual W2 but all the information is locked. She has tried to contact Quickbooks support for months now - to no avail. I already had to file an extension but that is only until 10/15. It is now almost October - what options do we have to unlock this information in Quickbooks?

Hello aryssaray,

 

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community! Have your employer tried accessing the W2 through their QuickBooks program? Here's how to view or print prior years' W-2:

 

  1. Click on the Employees menu.
  2. Select Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s, then click Process Payroll Forms.
  3. Under Filing History, find the prior year's W-2.
  4. To access and print your W-2 information, click on the link under the Saved PDF column.w2.PNG

 

Let me know if that works out for you! I also noticed that your employer is not having the best time reaching support, and I want to know which method they use. Also, if you are trying to change prior information, yes,  it would be locked, and our team would be the only one who can help to unlock it. To contact us and speak with a representative, you would need to follow the steps below.

 

 

  1. Click the Help icon located in the upper right-hand corner.
  2. In the Help window, click the Contact Us button located at the bottom.
  3. Please enterer your question and click Let's talk.
  4. Select Start messaging or Get a callback.

Hello, thank you for the response. Yes, they were trying to make changes and got locked out. They are also not even able to see the amounts anymore. They have tried every method but have not received any reply. They just tried to email as well. They have left multiple messages. Please let us know what is the best way to get a hold of someone who will respond and can unlock this information.

 

Thank you!

That is the phone number we use. We have tried this number and the general sales number and it's just prompts and never directs to a real person. We have the middle tier level of membership - is this why we are not able to get support?
