Yes, you can use TurboTax to complete your W-3 forms! In order to file your forms W-3, you would want to use Intuit TurboTax Quick Employer Forms. You can access Intuit TurboTax Quick Employer Forms at the following web address (copy and paste into your browser): https://quickemployerforms.intuit.com

Intuit TurboTax Quick Employer Forms is for small business owners who have employees or use independent contractors to help them get their work done. If you operated a business (including a Schedule C/Sole Proprietorship, an LLC, Corporation, S-Corp, or Partnership) and you had employees or independent contractors, you need to send a W-2 to employees and 1099 to independent contractors before the end of January. Quick Employer Forms makes it a lot easier to create and file these forms with the IRS. There's no need to buy forms or worry about special printing requirements, including colored ink.

Per TurboTax FAQ:

Do I have to e-file Forms 1096 or W-3?

Form 1096 and W-3 are not required for e-file. Quick Employer Forms only supports e-file with the SSA and IRS. Please do not send any of these forms to the IRS, as this will generate duplicate filings. These forms are simply for your records.

The question was whether I could E-FILE W3 with Turbo Tax, not if I could create with Turbo Tax.

I disagree - IRS will not accept a copy of a W-3. they want the red original. please clarify your stance.

@FJN7558 - Please post your IRS source for that requirement. I cannot find the word "red" anywhere in the W-3 instructions or filing instructions on the IRS website.

For the past couple of years, I have filed the W-3 and 1096 with the form found in Turbo Tax; it was not red and the form was not returned. If I'm not mistaken, then will not accept a xerox copy, it must be the original form.
