Step 1: Update QuickBooks Desktop and Payroll Tax Tables

To avoid calculation discrepancies:

Open QuickBooks Desktop.

Updated tax tables ensure W-2 data reflects the latest payroll calculations.

Click Employees.

Select Employee Center.

Double-click each employee.

Confirm:

Legal name matches Social Security records

SSN is correct

State tax details are accurate

Save changes before proceeding.

Step 3: Access the W-2 Form Printing Option

To begin printing W-2 forms:

Go to Employees.

Select Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s.

Click Process Payroll Forms.

Choose Annual Form W-2/W-3 – Wage and Tax Statement/Transmittal.

Step 4: Select Employees for W-2 Printing

You can:

Select specific employees

After selecting, click Review/Edit to verify payroll data before printing.

Carefully inspect wage amounts, tax withholdings, and deduction totals.


Step 5: Choose Printing Method

QuickBooks Desktop provides two primary printing options:

Option 1: Print on Pre-Printed W-2 Forms

Select Print Forms.

Choose W-2 Copy B, C & 2 (for employees).

Load official pre-printed W-2 forms into the printer.

Confirm printer settings.

Click Print.

Pre-printed forms are typically ordered through Intuit or approved vendors.

Option 2: Print on Blank Paper (If Supported)

Some payroll subscriptions allow printing on blank perforated paper.

Select the blank paper option.

Load perforated W-2 paper.

Preview alignment.

Print.

Always verify compatibility before using blank stock.

Step 6: Print W-3 Form for Filing

In addition to employee copies, employers must print Form W-3, which summarizes total W-2 data.

Step 7: Verify Print Alignment

Hold against light to check alignment.

Adjust printer margins if necessary.

This prevents costly form waste.

Best Practices for Accurate W-2 Printing

Reconcile payroll accounts before year-end

Verify tax payments were recorded correctly

Back up company file before printing

Print and review sample copies

Store printed forms securely

Electronic Filing vs Paper Filing

QuickBooks Desktop allows both methods:

Social Security numbers

Wage data

Tax identification numbers

We recommend:

Restricting payroll access to authorized users

Using password protection

Locking printed forms securely

Encrypting digital copies

Data security is essential for protecting employee privacy.

Important Filing Deadlines
