Issuing W-3 Forms

The W-3 form is a summary page that shows the totals of salaries and withholdings from all your W-2 forms. You can produce this form in QuickBooks only after you've completed your company's W-2 forms. When you submit your W-2 forms to the federal government by mail, you need to include a W-3 form as a cover sheet.
