How do I get Copy A of a W2 for an employee.

Copy A is transmitted to the Social Security Administration (SSA) by the employer, along with a form W-3 (the form W-3 reports the total of all of the forms W-2 for the employer). 

Are you the employer or the employee?

Are you using QEF Quick Employer Forms?

 Where is COPY A of my Forms 1099 and W-2?
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.

That was sent when you efiled the W2.  Did you finish filing them after you filled them out?

Thank you Volvo, it was an issue with the e-file. Appreciate it very much.
