Quick facts
Start here
- Farin generates the form files and tracks status, but filing may still happen through outside government portals.
- Payroll tax deposits can be tracked directly in the Tax Center.
- Marking a form submitted keeps the audit trail complete.
- Employees manage W-2 electronic consent and access from their own profile.
Step 1: Generate and review payroll form files
Generated does not always mean filed
Some forms still need to be uploaded, mailed, or submitted through the external agency portal.
Use the status tools here to track what has been generated, downloaded, and submitted.
Step 2: Record tax payments and deposits
Post or review the payment in Payroll Transactions
Open Payroll Transactions.
Use the draft, estimate, or posted-payment tools there to keep the payment record tied to the right period.
Step 3: Mark forms submitted and deliver W-2 access
- After filing, mark the form submitted and add any confirmation details the team should keep.
- For employee W-2 access, direct staff to My Profile where they can manage consent and open their W-2 materials.
- Build W-2 delivery into your year-end checklist so employees know where to look before questions pile up.
