Employees and payroll

Hi there, Saphire605. I understand the importance of accurate information when filing W-2 forms.

 

Before anything else, is your state the same as BrandonK1? If you haven't created a specific city tax item for Kansas, the form won't display any data, as mentioned by my colleague. 

 

To create a city tax item for Kansas:

 

  1. Hover to Lists, then Payroll Item List.
  2. Select the Payroll Item dropdown, then New.
  3. Click Custom Setup.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process. 

 

Once done, make the required adjustments to correct your payroll tax return. Additionally, you can run a payroll summary to check if there's a deduction with the item.

 

 

On the other hand, if you are in a different state, you will still need to set up a tax item. However, the requirements for filing W2s will depend on the specific state. 

 

For more information, check out this article: File your state W-2s with QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced.

 

Meanwhile, if you discover an error in your W-2s after filing, refer to this article for guidance on how to correct it: Fix an incorrect W-2 and W-3

 

Moreover, you can read the year-end checklist to wrap up this year's payroll. It includes essential tasks such as processing employee bonuses, preparing W-2 and 1099 forms, and verifying year-to-date totals for each employee.
