Issuing W-2's

For starters you can use plain paper you do not need any special forms if you are using QB. There is always a monster under the desk.

Thanks for the reply, Allan. Let me reword: I'm sitting here with W2's all done and printed from QB, sitting prettily in their envelopes awaiting stamps.

Why can an untrained circus monkey like myself get this done on January 3 when every bookkeeper I've known and every company I've worked for struggled to get them out by the end of the month? Can I safely issue these things?

Did you say assisted payroll - where QB prepares and files your tax reports? As in they will send you the W-2's to pass out?

No, I probably have the wrong name for the service. We do our own payroll and file our own reports, using the tax tables that Intuit provides for a fee.

Because in the real world, at year's end there are many chores that must be done that are more important than printing W-2s.

That and someone suddenly remembers that lunch or party that the government says the cost of the food is an addition to pay or some other little thing that hits a large number of W-2's, that wasn't booked right when it happened because someone wasn't thinking W-2.
