TYPES OF W-2 FORMS

All government copies must be printed in a 2up format (2 forms per page)

Employee copies may be printed in a 2up, 3up or 4up format (2, 3 or 4 forms per page; also called ‘condensed forms). All of the copies for a single employee will print on one page. You simply fold and mail – no need to separate and collate forms! Your software may support these formats, be sure to check its functionality before ordering.

NUMBER OF PARTS 

The number of parts you need is determined by which government agencies you are reporting to.

  • Federal Only – 4 parts
  • Federal and State – 6 parts
  • Federal, State and City – 8 parts

When using condensed 2up, 3up or 4up forms, you can print all employee copies on a single sheet to save time.

  • For a 4-part form, use 2up paper.
  • For a 6-part form, use 3up paper.
  • For an 8-part form, use 4up paper.
