# W-2 Creation
Creating W-2s in Quickbooks is straightforward but since it's done only one a year, it's easy to forget how.

## Creating W-2 forms
Assuming payroll is up to date, follow these steps:

* Employee Center -> Payroll -> File Forms
* Select Annual W-2/W-3 Wage and Tax Statement and click Create Form
* Update if neccessary
* Select *All Employees*
* Select last year (in this case, *2021*)
* Click *OK*
* Ensure that all employees are checked on the *Select Employees on Form W-2* page
* Review as needed and *Check for Errors*
   * Typically, EverWatch is a 944 filer, so make sure to select that option in *Kind of Payer*
   * The rest should be straightforward
* When ready, click *Submit Form*
   * Choose *Print* to save a PDF copy for distribution without USPS
      * Do one run for Employee and another run for Employer
      * When done printing copies, close this window
* Now click *E-File Federal Forms*
   * Note that like many other things, @everwatch.global is invalid, so use @everwatchglobal.com
* Close out of any screens and *Save* your W-2 information

That's it!
