You can access Microsoft Excel 2021, 2019, 2016, or Microsoft 365 (with 64-bit), oldgreygrammy. Allow me to provide you with more information on this.
Yes, QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus (2024) requires Microsoft Excel 2016, 2019, 2021, or Microsoft 365 (64-bit) to export reports. QuickBooks likely allows you to access and potentially manage W-2 tax data within the software itself, not requiring a separate spreadsheet program. However, viewing the W-2 forms after generating them in QuickBooks, requires Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.0 or later to open the PDF format.
For more details, about the operating system, hardware, software, and other requirements to run QuickBooks Desktop 2024, see this article: System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2024.
For additional information on printing current year or previous year W-2s in QuickBooks from your Payroll Tax page, please refer to the following article: Print your W-2 and W-3 forms.
