Task 8: Print year-end payroll forms
You can print W-2 forms for your employees to use at tax time. Information for W-2 forms is tracked using current payroll information entered in your company file throughout the year.
You can enter or change amounts that print on W-2 forms by manually adjusting the amounts that were calculated in your company file. The changes won’t affect transactions or reports in your company file; the changes will only print on the W-2 forms. You can also choose to revert to the amounts calculated in your company file.
You can use the Payroll Tax Forms service to generate and file your year-end state and federal payroll forms using information extracted from your company file. These include withholding tax forms, unemployment wage reports, and new employee forms.
note : You need to register for Payroll Tax Forms to electronically file W2 forms
You can generate W2 forms using software. However, if you want to electronically file these forms, you need to register for the Payroll Tax Forms service. For more information, see ‘Set up Payroll Tax Forms’.
