OPTION 1: 4-UP 8.5" x 11" Single Sheet for All Employee Copies (Recommended)

This type of form contains all 4 employee copies on a single sheet. This means you can print all 4 employee copies in one pass and then simply fold the form and stuff it in the accompanying windowed envelope.

• LW2A for at least 1/2 the number of employees needed (2 employees per form). Not necessary if you file federal information electronically via the internet.
• LW2D1 for at least 1/2 the number of employees needed if you intend to print and keep a copy for yourself (the employer).
• LW3 - at least one W-3 form for each tax form type (941/943)
• L4UP for at least the total number of employees needed (1 employee per form)
• DW4S or DW4SS envelopes for at least the total number of employees needed. (NOTE: DW4SS are self sealing envelopes)

OPTION 2: 2-UP 8.5" x 11" Forms

These are the traditional forms. 2 employees are printed on each page and you must print the forms multiple times (once for each W-2 copy the employee will receive) and then tear and collate the forms by hand.

• LW2A for at least 1/2 the number of employees needed (2 employees per form). Not necessary if you file federal information electronically via the internet.
• LW2D1 for at least 1/2 the number of employees needed. Double this if you intend to print and keep a copy for yourself (the employer).
• LW2B for at least 1/2 the number of employees needed
• LW2C for at least 1/2 the number of employees needed

• LW3 - at least one W-3 form for each tax form type (941/943)

OPTION 3: 4-UP 8.5" x 14" Pressure Sealed Mailer

Like the 4-UP forms above, each page contains all employee copies. However, if you have pressure sealing machine, there is no need to stuff envelopes. You can simply print the forms and feed them to the pressure sealing machine and it will fold and seal the forms to a mailable size.

• LW2A for at least 1/2 the number of employees needed (2 employees per form). Not necessary if you file federal information electronically via the internet.
• LW2D1 for at least 1/2 the number of employees needed if you intend to print and keep a copy for yourself (the employer).
