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. If you haven't already, you must register for a QuickBooks account and pay any e-filing costs that may be required. QuickBooks confirms the filing after it is submitted. Make sure your staff members have copies printed before the due date.
