Printed Form 940 and/or W-2 show last year's date

What is happening

Why do the printed Form 940 and/or W-2 show last year's date?

Why is this happening

The IRS has until December 31 of the current year to modify all forms. . As a result, forms for the current year are not released to the public until sometime in December. . If you view these forms before the new year, the year may not be correct.

How to fix the problem

The correct year should appear on Form 940 and Form W-2 with the first tax table of the new year (at the latest).

Detailed Instructions

After January 1, update your payroll to receive the most current tax table.

Note: For additional information about updating your payroll tax table, from the QuickBooks Help menu, choose QuickBooks Help. . Click Index, type payroll, and then select update.
