Resolution overview

Print W‑2s from the correct company database, based on whether you archived the payroll year.

  • Use the payroll archive company database after you archive the oldest payroll year.
  • Use the current company database after you close the payroll year, but haven’t archived it.

Determine the correct database

  • If you archived the payroll year, open the payroll archive company database.
  • If you only closed the payroll this year, stay in the current company database.
