Dan Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 When you print W-2 (Copy A) and W-3 forms can you print them using an ink jet printer or must you use a laser printer? Where are the instructions found? Thanks!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medlin Software, Dennis Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 W-3/W-3 printing information is in IRS Pub 1141. The short version: Laser printer if using approved software, can print on plain paper. All other situations, use pre-printed forms. Since you sound as if you have a jet printer, you have to use pre-printed forms. When you print W-2 (Copy A) and W-3 forms can you print them using an ink jet printer or must you use a laser printer? Where are the instructions found? Thanks!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 You can buy various pre-printed tax forms from STAPLES. It says on the packet you get from Staples "injet & laser compatible." My question was: does the Social Security Administration and the IRS accept these forms filled out with an injet printer or must you use a laser printer?

RoyDaleOne Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I e-file all my W-2's. It is very easy. Don't need no stinking red copies. :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question was: does the Social Security Administration and the IRS accept these forms filled out with an injet printer or must you use a laser printer? You can use an ink jet printer, a typewriter, or a laser printer with the pre-printed forms like you buy from Staples. SSA will accept them. They will even accept handwritten forms as long as they are the pre-printed type, but they sure do look suspicious to most people any more.
