As an employer, How do I enter a W2 form at this late date for tax year 2018?

You mean prepare a W-2?

[IreneS]

You can use Quick Employer Forms (accessed through Turboax) to prepare W-2 (or 1099) forms for your workers.  You can also e-file the forms to the IRS (but not the state or the employee.

To create 2018 1099-MISC forms you need to use the 2018 version of either TurboTax Self-Employed (online) or TurboTax Home & Business or TurboTax Business (CD/Download).  See the directions below.

TurboTax Self-Employed [Online]

1. Click on Income and Expenses and then click the Start/Revisit box in the Self-Employment section.
2. On the Your 2018 self-employed work summary screen, click on Edit next to your business. 
3. On the Here's your [business] info screen, click on the box Add expenses for this work. 
4. On the Tell us about any expenses screen, scroll down to Less Common Expenses, mark the radio button for Contract Labor and click Continue at the bottom of the screen.
5. On the screen, Let's enter the contract labor expenses for your [business], click on the link Help me prepare and file W-2s and 1099s.  Then click on the link in the Search box.
6. This will take you to the Quick Employer Forms website, where you can prepare your forms.

I’m not sure I trust what TurboTax says about their Quick Employer Forms.  I entered data for 30 Forms 1099-MISC, but my work disappeared instead of being saved as advertised.

On about January 10, 2020, I (eventually) figured out how to enter payee data at the TurboTax web pages for eventual printing and eFiling of IRS Forms 1099-MISC (block 7, Non-employee Compensation) due tomorrow, January 31, 2020.  [For my 2019 returns, I upgraded to TTax Home & Business -- specifically because I wanted the advertised ability to eFile my 1099-MISC forms and know that my current 2019 data would be saved online for quick & easy transfer to next year.]
 
(1) It turned into a time-wasting hassle to (eventually) discover that the ability to enter 1099-MISC info via the online web pages could NOT be accessed from my freshly-created and therefore existing 2019 TTax file in my desktop computer. Instead, when first opening TTax I had to click the "Start a new return" button and from there choose to enter 1099-MISC (or W2, etc.) data. That worked and I manually entered data for about 30 payees. I chose not to eFile at that time (TTax FAQs explain that my data would be saved online for later eFiling and for transfer to next year). Instead of immediately eFiling, I opted to wait until the end of January (i.e., today, 01/30/2020) in case errors needed to be corrected before eFiling. [NOTE -- There was NO "sign out" link or button available on any of the screens that appeared for me, so I simply closed the browser window. Chrome browser.]
 
(2) Today, 01/30/2020, I am trying to get back to my previously-entered 1099-MISC data that is supposed to be stored someplace within my online account at TTax ... ... ... and, after successfully logging in with my username and password, I cannot find any of my previously-entered data. The option to enter brand new data appears, but NO saved data from a couple of weeks ago. AARRGGH! A link to previously-saved data does NOT appear when I use the "Start a new return" button when TTax first loads. I cannot find a link to my already-entered data when I go back into my already-started 2019 tax file that's stored in my desktop computer. AARRGGH!
 
Now I wonder why I wasted my time and money upgrading my TTax product so that I could (supposedly) enter and eFile 1099-MISC forms via TTax to the IRS.
