!RPYEU – Quarterly Form Code Set Up
*For quarterly filing, [IDFDV] Annual Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ must be set up for all Federal and State identifiers, including SUI/SDI, respecting the Work and Home State pay components. Form Code ‘HL$US-QTR-2012’ may also need to be set up, depending on each state.
*Annual Form code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ is used to report the Federal File and W2 Form Information for 2011 year end, this Form Code information is also used to report quarterly information for the states for 2012.
*The difference for Federal and State Filing is the file format for each state, e.g. EFW2, ICESA, TIB4 or specific State Format
*Prior to Jan 1, 2004, if the state is using ICESA, TIB4 or specific State Format, the [RPQTR] program was used to report the quarterly file with Form Code ‘HL$US-QTR-2012’
*Effective Jan 1, 2004, [RPYEU] supports the filing of multiple Government Registrations at Federal/State/Local level. [RPYEU] and the [RPQTR] program are now merged together, therefore [RPQTR] was no longer used after Jan 1, 2004
*The quarterly Form Code ‘HL$US-QTR-2012’ is being used and may not be changed because it contains all necessary identifiers to support the ICESA, TIB-4 and State specific format. However, all main processing is derived from Annual Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’.
*When [RPYEU] is run for quarterly reporting, the Annual Form Code MUST be entered. It is optional to enter the Quarterly Form Code to use ‘HL$US-QTR-2012’ or to default to EFW2 ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ format.
*All identifiers from ‘HL$US-QTR-2012’ fields 3100, 3110, etc. will be calculated by [RPYEU] by retrieving values from HL$US-W2-2012 sequence #'s 7010, 7020 etc. Any value may be entered on ‘HL$US-QTR-2012’ sequence 3100, 3110, etc. and it will not be used.
*HL uses ‘HL$US-QTR-2012’ identifiers to obtain values that are applicable for ICESA, TIB4 formats.
*After [IDFDV] HL$US-W2-2012 State and SUI info are set up, the employees must also be paid in [UPCALC] with the State/SUI info for that state in order to be reported for the quarterly filing.
!RPYEU – Sample Run
*[RPYEU] produces Summary Total Report by Government Registrations, this report must be verified with the [RPREGT] report for balancing purpose.
*Each [RPYEU] run generates one GVT Run (Government Run Number).
*All employees processed by this [RPYEU] run belong to this GVT Run Number.
*At the end of [RPYEU], the Government Reporting Statistics are printed with the GVT Run Number generated.
*After [RPYEU] is run, [IPGR] (Government Run) can be used for online inquiry by GVT Run number.
*From [IPGR] the employee’s detail government reporting information on [IPGH](Government Header) can be accessed.
*Many [RPYEU] runs may be run for different sets of employees for testing or auditing purposes
*All employees must be run together in one [RPYEU] by Federal Registration in order to generate the Government Media file. Thus this [RPYEU] GVT Run number or xml file should be used to run RPW2 in order to print W2 for the same set of employees that have been reported on the Government Media file.
*In a subsequent [RPYEU] run, the employee’s Government Header (PGH) information are re-generated, the same PGH information will be removed automatically when the new PGH is re-generated.
*At the end of each run, [RPYEU] removes any GVT Run Number that does not have any GVT Header associates with it.
*[RPYEU] may be run concurrently for different sets of employees.
*At the beginning of the [RPYEU] run, the Execution Run Log is stamped with the Execution Start Date, then at the end of RPYEU, the Execution End Date is stamped
*For a concurrent [RPYEU] run that has not been finished with the Execution End Date, the other concurrent [RPYEU] run will not remove the GVT Run Number even if there are no GVT Headers.

*The ‘Gvt Run’ column can be clicked in order to sort this column in either ascending or descending order of the Gvt Run #.
*Any column can be clicked and dragged to the first column position in order to sort and display the record information by that column data.\\For instance, clicking and dragging 'Period' to the first column will sort the information by the period (either by ascending or descending order).
!IPGR – Header Tab
*The [Header|IPGR#HeaderTab] tab is for viewing only in order to display GVT Headers information by employees for the GVT Run.
*The ‘Tax Info’ is displayed from GVT Headers taxation_level_suffix or State/Province, this Taxation Level Suffix is the ‘Type of Employment’ from [IDGR].
*The ‘Employee Remittance’ line stores the Federal Govt Registration information with the employer’s name and addresses along the total amounts. This employer name and address information will be printed on W2 Form by the Windward version of RPW2.
*The ‘Govt Reg – Tax Suffix’, ‘Employee Name’, or ‘Tax Info’ column can be clicked in order to sort these columns in either ascending or descending order.

!RPW2 – Printer Set Up
%%warning Important: When printing from the pdf file, the Page Scaling option must be set to ‘None’ to avoid re-sizing of the form on a page.%%
!RPW2 – Form Print Processing
*The P2K Oracle version RPW2 Form Print program prints all information retrieved from the [RPYEU] xml file according to selection criteria.
*If an employee has multiple States and Local tax jurisdictions to be printed, each W2 form is printed with information for two States and two Locals until all State and Local information are printed. The Local information printed may not necessary coincide with the information for the State where the Local resides.
*RPW2 program generates Summary Totals by each Employer Identification Number and Employment Type. At the end of the RPW2 run, a grand total is generated for all employers.
*RMEX must be run with the RPW2 mex id to obtain the Summary and Grand totals to balance to the [RPYEU] Summary report
*RPW2 Summary and Grand Totals are accumulated for Federal Level Box 1 to 11 only, Box 12 and 14 are not totaled.
*RPW2 Box 1 to 11 totals should be verified to balance to RPYEU Box 1 to 11
*For Box 12 ‘Code Information’ and Box 14 ‘Other Information’, since the printing on W2 Forms are free format, RPW2 will not total these boxes, RPYEU Summary Report contains the totals for these boxes for user reference.
*RPW2 accumulates the Summary Totals and Grand Totals for all States and Locals regardless if the tax is from WORK or HOME tax jurisdiction and regardless of which States and Locals the taxes are in.
*RPW2 does not accumulate the State and Local tax totals by each State and Local. The RPYEU Summary report should be used to obtain the totals by each State and Local.
*If RPW2 cannot select any information from the xml file to print, RMEX must be run with the RPW2 mex id to review the errors or exception messages to locate the problem, usually the problem is because of an invalid Directory or File name
*From this link [http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw2.pdf], there are different copies of the W2 form that needs to be distributed to the employees and send to the government: Copy A, 1, B, C, 2, D
*RPW2 provides options from Selection criteria parameter ‘Show Form (2 on 1 pg)’ to print different copies of the W2 forms and the Employee Instructions on the back.
*There is an to print the W2 forms on the pre-printed W2 forms or to show Copy A, 1, B, C, 2, D of the W2 forms
*W2 Form Copy A, 1, B, C, 2, D and instructions are taken directly from the government link above. It is, however, the user’s responsibility to ensure these employee copies are accepted by the government as substitute of the pre-printed forms prior to distributing to the employees.
