Printing W-2s

1.) Click the Report button on the Payroll screen and then click W-2/W-3 Report
2.) If necessary, change the payroll year by clicking the arrow buttons on either side of the year; .
3.) Select Employees who will receive W-2s from the church by double-clicking the column to the right of each name. ('XX' should appear) If taxes have been withheld, the employee will automatically be selected. If the Employee was Self-Employed or Contract Labor, then you may choose to un-select the employee. (Double-click on the 'XX' to remove the selection.) The Pastor(s) SHOULD BE SELECTED in most cases. The information that we have received from the IRS states that the church should provide the Pastor(s) a W-2.
