How to View and Print Forms W-2 and 1099
With Beyond, you can view, print, and reprint W-2s and 1099s as often as needed. Keep in mind that if your company was not using Beyond at the end of the year in question, Beyond cannot generate that W-2 or 1099. Forms can be printed on standard 8.5″x11″ paper using a home or office printer.
Note: Employees and contractors can also view and print their own W-2s and 1099s through Beyond.
Important: Verify Before Printing or Mailing
Before printing or sending any year-end forms, verify all employee and contractor information using the W-2 Preview. This report consolidates W-2 and 1099 information for all workers paid during the year, making it easy to confirm or update details.
Tip: This is a recommended audit at the end of each year.
Note: If an employee’s home address changed during the year, make any necessary corrections before printing or mailing.
