  • If you have selected to re-print employee copies, you will be asked if you want to reprint select employees or all employees. By clicking the Select Employee option, you will be taken to a list of employees to re-print.
  • Then the Forms Viewer will display allowing form copies to be printed.
     

Note: Keep in mind that if you have previously eFiled the Federal copy, it will print with a record copy watermark to avoid duplicate processing. State eFiled copies do not print with a record watermark, so they can be used to file with the Local W-2s.
