Key Details
- What’s Changing:
QuickBooks will continue to send electronic copies of W-2s to employees and e-file them with the IRS at no additional cost. However, printing and mailing physical W-2s will incur the new $4 per employee fee.
- Action Needed:
To avoid this fee, update your W-2 settings in QuickBooks Online Payroll by January 3, 2025. Options include:- Downloading, printing, and mailing W-2s yourself.
- Asking employees to consent to paperless W-2s through QuickBooks Workforce.
- If No Action is Taken:
QuickBooks will continue to print and mail W-2s for you at the $4 per employee fee, as part of the automated payroll process.
