Join nowHello,
I just sent out the W2's for our company and noticed no matter how I fold the W2 the employee's FULL social security number shows through the window! This is a big issue. I ended up just using regular, blank envelopes. This might be something that needs to be addressed. Has anyone else noticed this or did I get some defective ones???

Hi there, @Bookkeeper1333.
Allow me to provide some information as to why your employee's information peeks through the envelope window.
When printing W-2 forms on a pre-printed form, the employee's SSN might be visible through the return address window. Although Workforce copies have it masked, copies within QuickBooks Online Payroll and QuickBooks Desktop aren't masked or truncated. Similarly, copies from the QuickBooks tax center, Archive, or Resources contain the full SSN.
Thus, I suggest submitting feedback regarding this matter. Our product development team will take note of your ideas and suggestions and might consider adding them to future updates.
Your valuable feedback goes to our back-end team to help improve your overall experience with QuickBooks.
If you need to print W-2s for your employees, records, or a W-3 to send to your accountant, you can find a detailed guide on how to print them here: Print your W-2 and W-3 forms.
If you have any other questions about sending out your W-2s, please never hesitate to utilize the Reply button. I'll be around to make sure you're all set. Take care.
