Join nowI am confused on the W2-C.
The IRS book says: (An administrative error occurs only if the amount you entered in box 2 (4&6) of the incorrect Form W-2 was not the amount you actually withheld.)
I am only correcting wages. Do I leave the tax section blank as those were the actual amounts I withheld or do I fix them as how they should have been reflected?
Also can I send in the print-offs from QB? Some sites talk of a red form. I don't have that kind of printer.
Thanks

As the Tax Book makes it sound
What I am thinking may actually be more correct

Hi there, @bjk. Welcome to the Community!
I'm here to clarify what you need to fill out on the W-2c form. Per the IRS's instructions on the topic, "you will only complete money fields that are being corrected" (as shown below). If you'll be filing the forms manually, you'll want to obtain the red ink forms from the IRS directly, as the official printed version of this IRS form is scannable, but the online version of it, printed from this website or from QuickBooks, is not. A penalty may be imposed by the IRS for filing forms that can’t be scanned.
For more information on Form W-2c, check out: About Form W-2 C, Corrected Wage and Tax Statements.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to be of assistance. Cheers to a safe and productive week ahead!

If the IRS requires the use of a special form with special ink for the Copy A of the W-2C and W-3C how can I print on the printed form? I read earlier that QuickBooks only supports the us of the blank perforated forms.
If the IRS requires a special form with special red ink to file Copy A of the W-2C and W-3C how can I print these? I read elsewhere on this site that QuickBooks only supports printing these forms on blank perforated forms.
Good evening, @cnovich.
Thanks for following the thread.
You can purchase forms, but you'd need to ensure they are compatible with your product. If you're currently using Full Service Payroll, the form isn't compatible. However, the tax forms are filed by Intuit as part of the Full-Service Payroll package.
You can purchase forms here: https://intuitmarket.intuit.com/tax-forms/w2-forms.
Should you have further questions or concerns, feel free to reach back out. You can always count on us here in the Community to lend a helping hand anytime you need it. Take care and enjoy the day!
