!!RPW2 – W2 Form Print Selection Criteria
At line 35 removed 2 lines
For Oracle version RPW2, RPW2 must be run and the report sent to PDF file instead of to the Previewer. Before running any reports, users must define the Destination Format as PDF on the 'Run Options' tab. Users should run all Oracle Government Form Print programs with this setting.

For 2018-2019 reporting, RPW2 has the following capabilities in the Oracle version ONLY:
* From this link http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw2.pdf, there are different copies of the W2 form that can be distributed to the employees and sent to the government:
**Copy A, 1, B, C, 2, D.
* RPW2 provides options to print different copies of the W2 forms and the Employee Instructions on the back.
* Users can either print the W2 forms on the pre-printed W2 forms or to print Copy A, 1, B, C, 2, D of the W2 forms with the option to print the Employee Instructions on the back.
* W2 Form Copy A, 1, B, C, 2, D and Instructions are taken directly from the government link above, however, it is the user’s responsibility to ensure these Employee Copies are acceptable by the government as a substitute of the pre-printed forms prior to distributing to the employees.

!RPW2 – Form Print Processing
*The Oracle 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 two States and two Locals information until all State and Local information are printed. The Local information printed may not necessary coincide with the State information where the Local resides.
*The 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.
*Users must run RMEX with the RPW2 Mex ID to obtain the Summary and Grand totals to balance to the [RPYEU] Summary report
*The RPW2 Summary and Grand Totals are accumulated for Federal Level Boxes 1 to 11 only, Box 12 and Box 14 are not totaled.
*Users should verify the RPW2 Box 1 to 11 totals balance to RPYEU Box 1 to 11 totals.
*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. The 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 the 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. Users should use the RPYEU Summary report to obtain the totals by each State and Local.
*If RPW2 cannot select any information from the .xml file to print, users must run RMEX with the RPW2 Mex ID to review the errors or exception messages to locate the problem. Typically, 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 sent to the government: Copy A, 1, B, C, 2, D
*The RPW2 report ‘Show Form (2 on 1 pg)’ option can be set to print different copies of the W2 forms and the Employee Instructions on the back.
*Users can select 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
*The W2 Form Copy A, 1, B, C, 2, D and Instructions are taken directly from the government link above, however it is 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.
