How to do the Oregon i-wire?

Welcome to the Community! I want to make sure you're getting the right support in filling your W2's and 1099 via Oregon i-Wire.

For starters, QuickBooks Online currently does not support filling of State W2's and 1099 electronically. What you can do is to file via iWire. It is an online portal used by the state of Oregon where employers can submit W-2s and 1099s electro​nically.

To further assist you with navigating around Oregon iWire portal, I'd recommend reaching out to your State Tax agency. They can further help you in manually filing your state W2/1099.

Keep me posted if you have other questions about preparing and filling your State tax forms. I'd be happy to help answer all your inquiries.

Quickbooks will make a txt file for you to file through Iwire.

Go to you payroll center. Down in the bottom you will click 'E-File State W-2'. It will export your file into excel. You will review it. Then you will click on 'Start Interview' in the excel ribbon, top left of screen. It will then walk you through making a .txt file to submit to Iwire. After you log into the Oregon Dept of Revenue website, you will have the option to submit a .txt file. Upload from where you saved it and you're done.

Works well, and beats entering each W-2 manually into the state's system.

I've not encountered any confirmation that this will work for 1099 MISC form filings. Does this work with those as well?

How about for the 1099 MISC form filings required by OR DoR? Will this work for those also?

Yes, you can file 1099 through iWire, Amaent1.

You can either upload a 1099 text file or manually enter the information.

I'll share an article about iWire for more information.

If there's anything else that you need, let us know.

How do I export the W2 TXT file in Quickbooks Online. I do not see the option to E-File State W2 in the payroll center in QBOnline

Hi there, @ MBarrett1

The Annual Tax Forms are for those states that require employers additional forms or worksheets that'll be filed with state W-2s. QuickBooks Online provides signature-ready versions of W-2s or PDF copies of the worksheets.

If you're referring to the .txt file to be uploaded to the state website, this option is not available in the QBO for now. You might want to use the PDF copies of the Federal W-2 and convert it to a .txt format using a third-party app.

You can always browse these articles to know more about W-2:

I'm just around the corner if you have other questions. Thanks for dropping by.

When I send the file to excel it does not populate the amounts for the employees in the State transit tax wages or State Transit Tax withheld. Am I missing a step?

I appreciate you dropping by here in the Community, @CissyS,

The browser can occasionally be poorly configured, which may be the reason you're experiencing this issue. I suggest opening a private window or a different browser to isolate this issue. Here's how to activate incognito mode in some of the most common online browsers:

If you can finally see the amounts when exporting to Excel, it's safe to say that the browser has caused it. This can be fixed by clearing your cache and cookies.

If the issue persists, I suggest contacting our QuickBooks Online Payroll Support. To ensure that your concern will be addressed timely.

I'll also include this article you can use to refer to if you want to learn about common tax payment and form filing questions for QuickBooks Online Payroll: Get answers to your payroll tax payment and filing questions.
