First, go to the Nelco Website for Electronic Filing to get an overview of how it works plus pricing information. Charges reflected in the W-2 Service box are per employee. Once there, you may create an account and add your credit card information, or you may wait until you've actually transmitted the W-2 form from Payroll to create your account. If you choose to do so ahead of time, from the Nelco Site, click on the Filing Home tab then Create Account.
