Form W-3: Transmittal of wage and tax statements

The IRS requires most employers to file Forms W-2 and W-3 at the beginning of each year for the previous year. Form W-3 (Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements) is a summary of all the W-2 forms you are submitting to the federal government. Form W-3 summarizes the total wages, Social Security wages, federal income tax withheld, and FICA tax withheld from employees during the year, and lists the number of W-2 forms being transmitted.

Do I need to file Form W-3, or does Intuit Full Service Payroll do it for me?

No. We automatically send your W-3 information to the appropriate government agency, so you do not need to file a separate, printed Form W-3. Although we don't send the actual form, we provide the necessary information that is acceptable to the agency.

Can I get a copy of my W-3 information for my own records?

Yes. Although we don't provide an electronic W-3 form for you to print, you can run and print a summary report. This report has some of the same information that you'll find on Form W-3.
