Note: Version 2025.01 includes support for printing and filing the black-and-white copy A of Forms W-2 and W-3 for 2025. Furthermore, we have been advised by the Social Security Administration (SSA), that for tax year 2025, there are no record layout changes for efiling Forms W-2 and W-3. Therefore, the EFW2 module version 2025.00 will not require any re-programming and is therefore, final for 2025.

Ease of Use and Time Saving. The learning curve on this program is nil. As soon as you load TBW2 you will be up and running. There are just 2 data entry screens to keep track of; the W-3 and W-2 data entry forms. As soon as you create your first client file, the program will automatically display the W-3 data entry form, just complete a few required fields and then go on to the W-2 data entry form. This form has the look and feel of a real form W-2, and from this one data entry form you create, edit, navigate, and delete employee records. you can also print all or one form from within the Form W-2 data entry screen.

Complete On-Line IRS instructions. We have included the IRS instructions for forms W-2 and W-3 which can be easily accessed from within the Program.

Multi Employer Support. Create an unlimited number of employers capable of supporting up to 250 employees.

Data Entry Flexibility. You have complete control over all the data entry fields on the Form W-2. Its you "the User", who determines how the data entry fields are to be completed. The program imposes no limitations.

Pop-Up Calculator. TBW2 comes equipped with a pop-up calculator that allows you to perform any type of computation on a dollar amount data entry field, via a Put and Get command buttons.

Payee Labels: You can print payee address labels. The program supports Avery® 5160 address labels. With this type of label you can print up to 30 payees on a single sheet. Also, the program will automatically print the Post Net Bar Code of any payee whose "City, State and Zip Code" field contains a Zip+4 Zip Code format (XXXXX-XXXX).

Fast and Efficient File Database: For speed and efficiency, file read/write is accomplished by using low level Windows API calls, also, the file records are manipulated using a binary format for super fast reads and writes.

Black and White Copy A Support. You can now print a Social Security Administration (SSA) approved Copy A of forms W-2 and W-3. You will not need to purchase the red pre-printed copy A of forms W-2 and W-3.

Password Protection. You can optionally select to password protect individual payer files.

Technical Support. Every TBW2 user is entitled to free and unlimited technical support.

NOTE: Support for the red pre-printed copies of Forms W-2 and W-3 has been discontinued for 2025 and beyond. Users should instead use the program generated Black and White Copy A which has been approved by the Social Security Administration.
