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!
