If I E-file W2's through QB, do I need to create a TCC?

I recently received a letter from the IRS that said, I needed to file my W-2s trough e-file and  that I also needed to create a TCC, in order to e-file.  I also created an account with ID.me. I have never utilized the option to e-file through QB, I have always mailed them. So, my question is if I e-file through QuickBooks now, do I need to file again using my TCC number or does that cover everything, just filing through QB?

No password or ID or account is required to file W2's with the SSA. Anyone can send them. Which is weird.

 

What's a TCC?

@BigRedConsulting  I think it's part of the IRS' relatively new e-filing toys.

 

Either way, definitely not required to e-file through QB.
