Step-by-Step Guide: How to E-File W-2 in QuickBooks Desktop

The simple procedure of electronically filing W-2 forms in QuickBooks Desktop guarantees that you fulfill both state and federal tax obligations. Start by selecting W-2s/W-3s under File Forms in the Payroll Center. After confirming the accuracy of your employees' information, choose E-File. Before sending your W-2s and W-3 forms to the IRS, QuickBooks will walk you through the process.
