Any business owners or accountants out there care to help a guy out?

My mom hired sitters/caregivers the last quarter of 2022 to help her at home. I told her I'd handle paying them and the taxes. I knew the W-2's were due by Jan 31st but I didn't do my research early enough to know what a pain in arse it would be!

First problem: you can enter online with the Social Security Admin but it takes two weeks to receive your log in approval BY MAIL! I applied yesterday but that will come too late for the Jan 31st due date.

Second problem: There is no 'fill in' pdf online for 2022 (there is for 2023) so I can't fill out the W-2 and W-3 forms and mail them in.

Third problem: The pdf forms for 2022 that I can download from irs.com are in some sort of pdf format the even my Adobe Acrobat Pro software cannot edit, print to pdf, or let me type over.

Forth problem: The W-2 and W-3 form data must be typed in so the IRS' system will read it. I don't have a type writer and see problem three above.

Can anyone think of a solution I can't think of?

The late penalty is $60 per W-2 (I have 5 to do) so at this point I'm thinking I'll wait for the online access and pay the penalties.
