Employees and payroll

Hello there, @TFJB. I'm here to give more information on W-2 Tax Form filing in QuickBooks Online.

 

To better assist you, I'm going to need some more information. What type of Payroll are you using and what type of QuickBooks Online subscription do you have? If I don't provide the proper information, leave a comment with more details. I'll keep an eye out for a response.

 

Intuit files your W-2s and W-3s automatically if you have any of the following products:

  • QuickBooks Online Core
  • QuickBooks Online Premium
  • QuickBooks Online Elite
  • Intuit or QuickBooks Full Service Payroll
  • QuickBooks Desktop Assisted Payroll

Here are a few articles that you may find helpful when you go to file your W-2s:

 

After you process your Forms W-2 and send the information to us, you may notice that the filing status in your Online Payroll account displays "Submitted" or "In Progress." As long as you click Submit two business days before the January 31st deadline, the SSA will consider your submission on time. Here are the statuses:

  • Submitted: We have received your W-2 for processing
  • In Progress: We start sending W-2 information to the agency in mid-January. Once your W-2 has been sent, it will show in this status
  • Completed: The SSA has accepted your W-2. We'll send you an email notification when this happens.

Let me know if this helps. I'm always here if you need me. Have a beautiful day.
