Quick Employer Forms

When I try to print W2 forms in Quick Employer forms, it is only showing a worksheet format of the W2, and not a pdf version of the W2 you would see on the IRS website. Is this acceptable filing with the IRS? The ProSeries technician I spoke with assured me it was.

I am new to Quick Employer forms for 2024 because my prior W2 and 1099 software company owner retired and shut down his business. What Quick Employer Forms is printing does not look like a normal W2 form at all.

The form doesn't have to be identical to the IRS form, but without seeing what you are seeing I can't say that the form is good to go or if there is an issue with the software. Can you black out the employer and employee information on one of your W-2s and post a scanned copy of the form here?

It’s not the prettiest W-2 you will ever see but it works. The actual information submitted to the Social Security Administration is done electronically so what you see isn’t an exact copy of what gets transmitted.

We just tried printing one today, and you are correct that the formatting sucks. We ordered three part forms and each section of the W-2 prints on its own page and covers more than half the page. The W-3 really looks wonky and ends up printing on 2 pages - one for the basic information and a second page for the signature. This is not a stellar start to the new year.

I agree, and I think Proseries through their Quick Employer forms module can do a lot better than this. I suspect it may generate a lot of questions from recipients of this W2 format as to "what the heck is this?"

In addition, to give recipients what they need in a W2 now requires three sheets of paper vs one when it as a 4up format.

@LindaK75 - I just tried the program and it appears to be back to normal printing. Is it working for you?
