Wage and Tax Statement Project
During the first full week of 2017, the Payroll Department of Quigley Corporation is preparing the Forms W-2 for distribution to its employees along with their payroll checks on January 6. In this problem, you will complete six of the forms in order to gain some experience in recording the different kinds of information required.

Using the following information obtained from the personnel and payroll records of the firm, complete Copy A of the six Forms W-2. Also complete Form W-3. The form is to be signed by the president, Kenneth T. Ford, and is prepared by Ralph I. Volpe.
