Print onto Pre-Printed tax forms
If you’ve already purchased pre-printed tax forms, you can use Adams® Tax Forms Helper® to print your W-2 employee copies (B, C and 2) or 1099 recipient copies (B, C, 1 or 2).
From your dashboard, go to “Forms.”
Next, check the box (or boxes) of the form(s) you’d like to print. Here, we’re printing a W-2.
Next, click the print button.
Click on the “Print onto Pre-Printed IRS Form” button.
You can also check the “Mask recipient FIDS” to hide your recipient’s personal data.
Next, click “Print Forms.”
After you click “Print Forms,” the following screen will appear. In the print preview, you’ll only see the data from your record without any of the borders or lines from the form. Click the print icon in the upper right corner.
Next, click the “Print” button to send your Pre-Printed IRS form(s) to your printer.
Tip: It’s a good idea to load plain paper into your printer for your first test print. Just hold your plain paper print in front of a form to check the alignment.
Before you print, check your printer settings. The number one cause of avoidable form alignment issues are hidden printer settings for scaling and fit to page. You can usually find scaling options in your printer’s system dialog under Printer Properties, Preferences or Advanced settings.
If you’ve done a test print and checked your printer settings, you’re ready to load your forms.
