How to Print W2 Forms in QuickBooks
QuickBooks is basic accounting software that is primarily used by small businesses. It is attractive to new business owners because of its accounting power and usability. QuickBooks allows you to do most accounting transactions you need, including printing W-2 forms for for your employees at the end of the year. If you are doing your payroll through QuickBooks, this will keep you from having to hire an outside firm simply for W-2s.
