W2 Copy A

[danielserwer]

The IRS instructions for submitting a W3 say to include Copy A of W2s. But none of the W2s in Home and Business are labelled

I don’t think the forms are ready yet.   Are you using the online Quick Employer Forms or the Desktop Create Forms?  Here are my notes from before so I don’t know it it’s the same this year.

The Quick Employer Forms only supports e-filing of the forms with the IRS and Social Security Administration. Copy A of the Form 1099 and W-2 are only used for e-filing and are not provided for printing.

See Quick Employer Forms FAQ

Quick Employer Forms | Common Questions (FAQ)

If you don't use QEF and print to mail, For each Form W2/1099 you should have the following copies:

Copy A for the Internal Revenue Service (two different people per page):

Update:  It now prints 3 per page, so if you have 4 people you get 1 on one page and 3 on another page.

Copies B, C, and 1:

…….(Copy B for the recipient);

…….(Copy C for your records); and on the same page

…….(Copy 1 for the state tax department if required)

I am printing from Desktop Create. I don’t see anything labelled Copy A. W3s have to be sent by Jan 31, so the software should be ready by now.

It’s probably not ready yet.  The 1099NEC forms say Jan 11.  There will be many updates.   Keep waiting and checking for updates. As you say they don’t have to be sent until Jan 31 so there’s still time.

TT says this will be updated later today---so late on 1-10-2025 you should be good to go!
