  • The IDGV Variables tab must be set up for ‘State Registration’ for State/Province: Illinois
    • ‘W2 STATE MEDIA FILING’ - The State of Illinois accepts W2 wage report with federal and other state information, therefore, the Media Filing variable can be set to ‘01’, which will include state information in the Federal File. (However it must be set to ‘02’ if a W2 magnetic media file is required for the state of Illinois only)
