E-File State W-2 on RightNetwork virtual computer without Excel license

Hi,

 

Is there a way to export the State W-2 file from the cloud virtual PC of RightNetwork to run on local computer that has Excel installed?

When I tried to go to Employees -> Payroll Center -> File Forms -> Other Activities -> E-File State W-2

The program asks me to open an .xlt file, but the RightNetwork cloud virtual computer does not include that program.

 

Is there a way to export the information to download and use local computer to file and we can upload the State W-2 later?

E-File State W-2 on RightNetwork virtual computer without Excel license

Hi there, @HandsomePacman.

 

At this time, virtual servers aren't recommended in QuickBooks Desktop. Thus, exporting the W-2 form from a cloud virtual computer isn't available.

 

As a workaround, you can consider looking for a third-party app that can export the W-2 form from a cloud virtual computer. To do so, you can go to the App Center and look for an app from there. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Help menu, then select App Center:Find Business Solutions.
  2. In the Apps Center window, search for an app that can export forms from a virtual computer.
  3. Select and review the app.

 

If you need further questions about the app, I recommend contacting their customer support team.

 

You might want to print and file your W-2 forms in QuickBooks Desktop. These articles will guide you through the steps:

 

 

I'm still open to your replies, @HandsomePacman. Please keep in touch if there's anything else I can do to help you succeed with QuickBooks. I've got your back.

Joining the thread to thread to help share information about your app, @HandsomePacman.

 

We don't have a direct view of any application integrated with QuickBooks. I recommend contacting the Technical Support team of RightNetworks.

 

With their tools, one specialist can pull up the account in question and share the steps needed to prepare your file. Use this link for the contact information: What is Right Network Hosting and their Support?

 

I'm adding this reference for tips and guides to utilize in preparation for the coming year-end: Complete Certain Tasks in QuickBooks to Prepare for the New Fiscal or Calendar Year.

I follow the instruction from https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/taxation/file-state-w-2s-quickbooks-d...

 

So is there a work around way to export W2 information into .csv file to download them and later submit to state tax e-file?

Hello there, @HandsomePacman

 

Thank you for getting back to us and following the steps provided above.

 

Virtual servers are not supported in QuickBooks Desktop at this time. As a result, the W-2 form cannot be exported from a cloud virtual computer.

 

You can try looking for a third-party tool that can export the W-2 form from a cloud virtual machine as a solution. You can do so by going to the App Center and looking for an app there. You can follow the steps: 

 

  1. Go to the Help menu, then select App Center: Find Business Solutions.
  2. In the Apps Center window, search for an app that can export forms from a virtual computer.
  3. Select and review the app.

I recommend contacting their customer service team if you have any additional queries about the software.
