!!!US W2 PROCESS EP 2012
The US W2 Process allows for reporting to the US government from the employees' YTD information according to the government specified requirement and for generating the magnetic media or electronic files to send to the government.
For annual reporting, this allows for reporting from the employees' YTD information according to selected criteria in order to produce the W2 Wage statement and for generating the W2 media file to send to the government.
For quarterly reporting, this allows for reporting from the employees' QTD information according to selected criteria and for generating the media file to send to the government.

!W2 Forms
|2-on-a-page Form|Layout has no change. (However, Box 9 - Advance EIC Payment, has been deleted from the form.)
|4 Corners Form|Layout has no change. (However, Box 9 - Advance EIC Payment, has been deleted from the form.)
|4-on-a-page Form|Layout has no change. (However, Box 9 - Advance EIC Payment, has been deleted from the form.)
%%information Note:While the W2 form layout itself has no changes, there are two new codes:
*‘DD’ in Box 12 (optional for 2011) used to report the Cost of Employer-Sponsored Health Coverage
*‘EE’ in Box 12 used to report the Designated Roth Contributions under a governmental section 457(b) plan%%
%%warning Important: For Oracle reports, RPW2/RP1099R must be run and the report sent to the PDF file instead of to the previewer. RPW2/RP1099R aligns the W2/1099R government forms in PDF format and allows the user to adjust the parameters of 'Adjust Top Margin' and ‘Between Form Space’ fields when generating the PDF file. Once the PDF file is generated, the Page set up does not need to be adjusted when printing.\\ \\For Windward report, RPW2 supports the 2-on-a-page form only.%%
!EFW2 File
The following record codes contain changes for tax year 2011 reporting.
*A new field, 'Kind of Employer', has been added to the RE Employer Record (position 174). This is a required field.
*A new field, 'Cost of Employer-Sponsored Health Coverage', has been added to the RW Employee Record (positions 463-473) and the RT Total Record (positions 295-309).
*A new field, 'Designated Roth Contributions Under a Governmental Section 457(b) Plan', has been added to the RO Employee Record (positions 111-121) and the RU Total Record (positions 145-159)
!IDFD Changes
For 2011-2012 reporting, [IDFD] Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ is used.
!IDFD – Store Option
For 2011-2012 reporting, [IDFD] Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ has supplied the ‘Store Option’ starting from Seq# 2000 in order for [RPYEU] to store the Employer Name / Addresses, Employee Name / Addresses in the Government Remittance tables.
%%warning Important:[RPYEU] must be run with the new [IDFD] Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ or a copy of this Form Code that has the ‘Store Option’ set up to store the Names / Addresses and the Amounts in the Government Remittance Tables.\\ \\Any prior year’s Form Codes do not supply this option and therefore will not turn on the Store feature for [RPYEU].%%
!RPYEU – New Capabilities
Since 2010 tax year reporting, [RPYEU] has the following new capabilities:
#[RPYEU] now stores the Employer Name / Addresses, Employee Name / Addresses and the Amounts in the following Government Remittance Tables for historical reference purposes: [P2K_PR_GVT_RUNS] (pgr), [P2K_PR_GVT_HEADERS] (pgh), [P2K_PR_GVT_AMOUNTS] (pga)\\ \\
#After [RPYEU] is run, any release of 3.05.03 or above, will allow you to view the results on [IPGR] and [IPGH].\\Each [RPYEU] generates a GVT Run number to be viewed on [IPGR]. [UPGRUNDO] can be run to undo the GVT Run.\\ \\
#[RPYEU] parameter ‘Sort by Active/Inactive’ has been enhanced from a [X_YES_NO] toggle to use the lexicon value [X_W2_SORT_ACTIVE].\\This allows sorting of terminated employees to be before or after the ‘Sort Level’ that is defined in the prompt. Read the [RPYEU Sort Level|W2 Process#RPYEUSortLevel] section below.
#W2 Form (2-on-a-page) Box D - Control Number field size has lots of space, allowing more information to be printed.\\Box D is derived from the [IDFDV] Field Identifier - W2-CONTROL-PRT; value 3 to 6 are added as below.
;W2-CONTROL-PRT:Specifies if the Control Number should be printed on the form or not
|Null, 0|Do not print Control Number on W2 Form
|1|Print Control Number as defined in W2-CONTROL-NUM Identifier
|2|Print Control Number as defined from RPYEU ‘Sort Level By’ prompt
|3|Print W2-CONTROL-NUM Identifier and Person Code
|4|Print ‘Sort Level By’ prompt and Person Code
|5|Print ‘Sort Level By’ prompt and W2-CONTROL-NUM Identifier
|6|Print ‘Sort Level By’ prompt and W2-CONTROL-NUM Identifier and Person Code
!RPW2 – capabilities (Oracle Report Only)
Since 2010-tax year reporting, RPW2 has the following capabilities in the Oracle version report (but not the Windward version).
*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.
*There is an option to either print the W2 forms on the pre-printed W2 forms or to show Copy A, 1, B, C, 2, D of the W2 forms for printing.
*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 substitute for the pre-printed forms prior to distributing to the employees.

!!Set Up
!IMUF – Define User Fields for [IDGV]
On [IMUF], define user fields for [P2K_CM_GOVT_REGISTRATIONS]
The following user fields are used on the [IDGV Variables|IDGV#VariablesTab] tab. ([RPYEU] will generate these UDF's if any of the UDF do not exist.)
__For Annual and Quarterly Reporting__
||UDF||Usage
|W2 STATE MEDIA FILING|Used by all states

||UDF||Usage
|ISO COUNTRY CODE|
!IDCO – Define ISO Country Code for Foreign Countries
If the employer or employees have addresses that are not within in USA, the EFW2 file need to report the 2 character International Organization for Standardization (ISO) country code.
['Country Code'|COUNTRY_CODE] on [IDCO] is a user-specified country code; usually the three character United Nations code for a specific country, but can be the two character ISO code.
For Example:
||Country||United Nation Code||ISO Country Code
|Mexico|MEX|MX
|Mozambique|MOZ|MZ
The ISO country code needs to be entered on the [IDCO] User Defined field. If it is not entered, then the [IDCO] country code is used as the ISO country code.
Please read the [Employer|W2 Process#IDFDVEmployerPrimaryAddressAndMailingAddress] and [Employee|W2 Process#IDFDVEmployeePrimaryAddressAndMailingAddress] Address sections below.
!IDDP – Department Screen
*The State of Minnesota requires a quarterly file report by MN State Unemployment Insurance Account Number and MN Employer Unit Number. These two numbers are defined at the department level, therefore, the UDF ‘SUI ER Number’ must be set up for each department. (e.g. For Department ‘Planning & Zoning’, the MN number is ‘7977999-004’, UDF ‘SUI ER Number’ = 7977999-004 should be entered on [IDDP])
*If the ‘SUI ER Number’ is not set up for a department, then the SUI ER Number from [IDGV] is used.
*On [IDDP], the detail section of the screen must be clicked, and then the UDF button must be clicked in order to get to the UDF screen.
*For all other states, ‘W2 Destination’ may be entered for distributing the W2 forms by department.
!IEID – Employee Identity Screen User Field
[IEID] is used to enter the ‘W2 Destination’, ‘MMREF Officer Code’ for the employee
*‘W2 Destination’ may be entered for distributing the W2 forms for this employee
!IDGR – Define Group for Govt Registration
%%warning Important: Federal/State/Local Registration MUST not be changed for a Group for different effective date records. The [UPCLOZ] program will not cut new YTD records if the Group changes the effective date. Therefore, if the Group requires a change of Registration numbers, either a new Group should be created or all effective records should be changed to the same Registration numbers.%%
For each group at the Federal level, the Federal Registration number is retrieved according to the ‘Fed Regist Set’ and ‘Fed Regist Type’ from [IDGV] and then displayed on [IDGR].
For each group at the State/Prov/Local level, a ‘State/Prov Set’ and ‘State/Prov Type’ can be pointed to. Since each group can be paid in many different states, the State/Prov Registration number cannot be displayed on [IDGR]. For each employee belongs to this group, the State Registration Number is retrieved from [IDGV] by ‘State/Prov Set’ and ‘State/Prov Type’ and the Pay Header State/Prov of this employee.
At the local level, the Local Registration Number is retrieved from [IDGV] by ‘Local Regist Set’ and ‘Local Regist Type’ and the GEO Local of this employee
Each group must define one of the following ‘W2 Employment Type’ for W2 reporting purpose:
*A - Agriculture
*F – Form 944 filer
*H - Household
*M - Military
*Q – Medicare Qualified Government Employment (MQGE)
*R – Regular (All others)
*X - Railroad
%%information Note:For the ‘Q - MQGE' type employment, it is not required to group all employees under one group. The MQGE employees can belong to a group with ‘R’ type employment, [IPRLU] can specify the proper MEDICARE and FICA method to classify MQGE employees (see below for detail)%%
!IDSP – Define States
*An entry must exist for a state on [IDSP] in order for the state to be reported.
*An entry must exist on [IDGV] for a state with a ‘State Registration’ in order for the state to be reported.
*If a state is missing on [IDGV], [RPYEU] will create a default entry with Regist Number 0 and issue a warning
*There must be a change to the correct State Registration Number for that state in order to file to the state government.
!IDCN – Define Counties
*If there is county tax applicable for a State, an entry must exist for the County Code on [IDCN] in order for the county tax to be reported.
*The County Code is the first two segments of the GEO code. (e.g. In Indiana, GEO code ‘15-097-0670’ is for the city of ‘Indianapolis’, the County Code ‘15-097-0000’ is for County of ‘Marion’, therefore, set up County Code ‘15-097-0000’ ‘Marion’ on (IDCN).
*The GEO and County codes are provided by Vertex for US taxation, please refer to the [VERTEX GEO CODES LIST] booklet and enter the required county codes on [IDCN].
*An entry must exist on [IDGV] with ‘Local Registration’ for a County in order for the County tax to be reported.
!IDTX – Define Tax Jurisdictions
*An entry must exist at the ‘City level’ for a tax jurisdiction in order for the city tax to be reported.
*An entry must exist on [IDGV] with ‘Local Registration’ for a city in order for the city tax to be reported.
!IDSD – Define School Districts
*An entry must exist for a School District in order for the School District tax to be reported.
!IDGV – One or Multiple Government Registrations
For each Entity on [IDGV], the Government Registration Set that is used to collect Federal, State and Local Registrations must first be defined. Under the Registration Set, ‘Federal Registration’ must be set up for Country ‘USA with valid ‘Employer Identification Number’. Then State, Local Registrations may be set up for each State or Local under the same Registration Set.
__User with one Federal Registration__
*If the user has one Federal registration, define one government set of Registrations (e.g. "Main Registration Set").
*Then within this set of Government Registrations, set up Federal/State/Local Registrations on [IDGV] for this set. (For example, on [IDGV], the user should set up Federal Registration with Registration Type = ‘US Fed Regist 1’.
%%information Note:If Registration Type ‘US Fed Regist 1’ is used, then the FICA registration should be defined using Registration Type = ‘US FICA Regist 1’, for MEDICARE registration, the Registration Type should = ‘US MEDI Regist 1’ etc. The last digit of the Registration Type must be matched.%%
__User with Multiple Federal Registrations__
For a user with multiple Federal Registrations, there are two options:
#One "Main Registration Set" can be used, then Registration Type ‘Fed Regist 1’, ‘Fed Regist 2’ up to ‘Fed Regist 9’ can be set up. This allows up to nine Federal Registrations.
#Multiple "Registration Sets" can be used, then set up Registration Type ‘Fed Regist 1’, ‘Fed Regist 2’ up to ‘Fed Regist 9’. This allows for an unlimited number of Federal Registrations.
“Govt Registration Set” may be used to group similar Registrations together.
For Example:
||Govt Registration Set||Usage
|MAIN REGIST|Use as default to group all registrations initially
|REGIST 2|User may define another set for all level of registrations
|FED REGIST|User may define Federal level registrations for this set
|STATE REGIST|User may define State level registrations for this set
|LOCAL REGIST|User may define Local level registrations for this set
|FULLTIME REGIST|User may define Registrations for Full time employees
|PARTTIME REGIST|User may define Registrations for Part time employees
|SEASONAL REG|User may define Registrations for Seasonal employees
|STATE OHIO|User may define Registrations for Ohio for this set only
__Important Note for IDGV set up:__
The [IDGV] “Govt Registration Set” and Registration Types are used on the [IDGR Registration|IDGR#RegistrationTab] tab for each of the Federal, State and Local level set up.
\\
On [IDGV] set up, the last digit of Registration Type must match for the same Federal, State and Local level of registrations.
\\ \\
Example #1\\
If Registration Type = ‘US Fed Regist 1’ is used, then
*FICA Registration Type must = ‘US FICA Regist 1’
*MEDI Registration Type must = ‘US MEDI Regist 1’
If Registration Type = ‘US State Regist 1’ is used, then
*SUI Registration Type must = ‘US SUI Regist 1’
*SDI Registration Type must = ‘US SDI Regist 1’
\\
Example #2\\
If Registration Type = ‘US Fed Regist 2’ is used, then
*FICA Registration Type must = ‘US FICA Regist 2’
*MEDI Registration Type must = ‘US MEDI Regist 2’
If Registration Type = ‘US State Regist 2’ is used, then
*SUI Registration Type must = ‘US SUI Regist 2’
*SDI Registration Type must = ‘US SDI Regist 2’
On the [IDGR Registration|IDGR#RegistrationTab] tab, when the user specifies to use State/Prov Type = ‘US State Regist 1’, this implies all State level registrations with the last digit matching ‘Regist 1’ should be used, thus ‘US SUI Regist 1’ will be used.
!IDGV – Override Employer Name and Address by EIN
On the [IDGV Variables|IDGV#VariablesTab] tab, there is the option to define an override for the Employer’s Name and Address.
\\
This option allows the users who have multiple government registrations for one entity to report a different Employer Name or Address by each Federal Registration Number (EIN).
|W2 ER NAME|Enter the Employer Name to be reported, this overrides the [IDEN] Entity Name
|W2 LOCN CODE|Enter the Location code to be reported, this overrides the [IDEN] Location code\\ \\Note: The exact Location code must be entered in this field, otherwise it will not be used.
!IDGV – Levels of Government Registrations
The following levels of Government Registration must be set up for the Federal, State, County, City and School tax reporting.
__Federal Level__
*One or multiple Federal Registrations must exist for each entity with each Govt Regist Set for Registration Type ‘US Fed Regist 1’, etc.
__State Level__
*An entry must exist for each state for an entity with ‘State Registration’ by Govt Regist Set and Registration Type
*When the ‘State Registration’ are being defined, , the ‘Variables’ tab must also be set up.
*[RPYEU] automatically defines the User Defined fields for the [IDGV Variables|IDGR#VariablesTab] tab on [IMUF] for [P2K_CM_GOVT_REGISTRATIONS].
*On the [IDGV Variables|IDGR#VariablesTab] tab, the variable ‘W2 State Media Filing’ must be set up to indicate if this state is required to produce a W2 File for the state.
*The ‘W2 State Media Filing’ values are:
**00 – Not required to file magnetic media to the state
**01 – Include State Code RS record in the Federal file, the federal file can be sent to the state
**02 – State requires its own file, do not include other state information in the State file
*If the State file layout is conforming to the standard federal SSA code RS format and the state accepts a copy of the federal file that includes the code RW records, ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable = ‘01’ should be set up
*When [RPYEU] is run, the State Information Code RS record will automatically be generated in the federal file, only a copy of the federal file needs to be sent to the State
*If the state does not accept other state’s information in their State file, ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable = ‘02’ should be set up.
*When [RPYEU] is run, it should be set to run by one State only and the Media Format = ‘State File Format’ should be selected.
*Then if the state has its own specific State file layout, [RPYEU] will generate the State file in the specific file layout, otherwise the generic Federal Code RS format layout is used.
*If the state requires its own State file layout, please check for a list of states that are supported by [RPYEU].
__Local Level__
*An entry must exist for each County for an Entity with ‘Local Registration’ in order for the County tax to be reported.
*An entry must exist for each City for an Entity with ‘Local Registration’ in order for the City tax to be reported.
*When the ‘Local Registration’ is defined, the ‘Variables’ tab can optionally be set up in order to indicate if this Local requires to be filed via magnetic media on a W2 file:
**'W2 STATE MEDIA FILING'
**'W2 TAX TYPE CODE'
**'W2 TAXING ENTITY'
*The ‘W2 State Media Filing’ values are:
**00 – Not Required to file magnetic media
**01 – Include Local Information in Code RS record for Federal File format
**02 – Include Local Information in Code RS record for the State File format
**03 – Local requires its own File, do not include other Local information in the File
*If the Local information is to be reported along with the Federal File Code RS information, set up ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable = ‘01’ for this local.
*When [RPYEU] is run, the State Information Code RS record will be generated along with the Local information
*If the Local information is to be reported along with the State File Code RS information, then set up the ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable = ‘02’ for this local.
*When [RPYEU] is run for a state, the State Information Code RS record will be generated along with the Local information.
*If the Local requires its own format, set up ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable = ‘03’
*When [RPYEU] is run and ‘Local File format’ has been selected to be generated, then the specific City or County also needs to be selected, then the Local file format will be generated.
**Note, this feature requires specific program logic for each Local, please check if the local is supported by [RPYEU]
*If ‘W2 State Media Filing’ is set up for a Local, then the [IDGV Variables|IDGR#VariablesTab] tab must also be set up for:
**‘W2 TAX TYPE CODE’ - to contain one of the following values:
***C – City Income Tax
***D – County Income Tax
***E – School District Income Tax
**‘W2 TAXING ENTITY’ - to define the five character Taxing Entity Code for each local:
***e.g. Ohio Cleveland would be ‘200’, refer to Cleveland filing requirement
***e.g. Indiana would contain the two digit County Code supplied by Indiana
__School Level__
*An entry must exist for each school district for an Entity with ‘School Registration’ for the school tax to be reported.
*When the ‘School Registration’ is defined, the [IDGV Variables|IDGR#VariablesTab] tab must be set up for:
**'W2 STATE MEDIA FILING'
**'W2 TAX TYPE CODE'
**'W2 TAXING ENTITY'
*The ‘W2 State Media Filing’ values are:
**00 – Not Required to file magnetic media
**01 – Include School Information in Code RS record for Federal File format
**02 – Include School Information in Code RS record for the State for State File format
**03 – Include School Information in Code RS record for the Local File format
*If the School information is to be reported along with the Federal File Code RS information, set up the ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable = ‘01’ for this Local.
*When [RPYEU] is run, the State Information Code RS record will be generated along with the School information.
*If the School information is to be reported along with the State File Code RS information, set up the ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable = ‘02’ for this Local.
*When [RPYEU] is run, the State Information Code RS record will be generated along with the School information.
*If the School requires its own format, set up ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable = ‘03’
**Note, this feature requires specific program logic for each school, please check if the local is supported by [RPYEU].
*If ‘W2 State Media Filing’ is set up for a School, then IDGV Variables Tab must also be set up:
**‘W2 TAX TYPE CODE’ to contain the following value: E – School District Income Tax
**‘W2 TAXING ENTITY’ to define the five character School District code
!IDGV – Define State SUI Registrations for Quarterly Filing
When running [RPYEU] with Calendar Type = ‘Q’ for a quarter, each state must set up with ‘US SUI Regist’. The last digit of ‘US SUI Regist’ Registration type must match the last digit of ‘US State Regist’ Registration type, i.e. ‘US State Regist 1’ should also define ‘US SUI Regist 1’, ‘US State Regist 2’ should also define ‘US SUI Regist 2’, etc,
\\
According to each state’s quarterly filing format, some state may require to submit Taxes Due, Previous Underpayment etc. For each quarter, define the [IDGV Variables|IDGR#VariablesTab] tab for these quarterly amount for the proper ‘US SUI Regist’ prior to running [RPYEU].
Please note each QTR field’s decimal point and enter in the above format.
!IDFD – Define Form Code
*Define Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ for EFW2 format (Year 2011-2012 reporting)
*After loading [IDFD] form codes from starter scripts, set up each Form Code Field Variables on [IDFDV]
!IDFD – Starter Scripts
*When installing the US Year End software, a seed data script is executed to load in the [IDFD] Form Code:
‘HL$US-W2-2012’: SEED_IDFD_HL$US_W2_2012.sql
*This script may be run multiple times and performs the following:
**If Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ does not exist, the script loads all new identifiers for Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’.
**If Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ already exists, the script will update Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ existing identifiers from [IDFD] and leaving the client’s [IDFDV] set up untouched for existing identifiers.
**If Form Code Identifier does not exist, the script will insert new identifier, then set up the content on [IDFDV] for the new identifier.
!IDFD – Store Option
Since 2010-tax year reporting, [IDFD] Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2011’ has supplied the ‘Store Option’ starting from Seq# 2000 in order for [RPYEU] to store the Employer Name / Addresses, Employee Name / Addresses and the Amounts of the Seq# in the Government Remittance Tables.
%%warning Important: [RPYEU] must be run with the new [IDFD] Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ or a copy of this Form Code that has the ‘Store Option’ set up to store the Addresses and the Amounts in the Government Remittance Tables.
Any prior year’s Form Codes do not supply this option and therefore will not turn on the store feature for [RPYEU].%%
!IDFDV – Copy Last Year’s Definition to Current Year
*After the script is loaded for ‘HL$US-W2-2012’, the [IDFDV] Variable definition may be copied from last year to current year. Go to [IDFDV] and use the COPY button to copy from last year’s definition as follows:
**On [IDFDV], select last year’s Form Code: ‘HL$US-W2-2011’
**Then press the COPY button on the screen
**The Copying dialog box is displayed, within the box, enter the current year New Form Code: ‘HL$US-W2-2012’
**Press the 'Copy Definition with Variables' button, this will copy the variables set up from ‘HL$US-W2-2011’ to ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ for the same Field Identifier name
!IDFDV – Form Definition Variables

!!Processing
!Taxation Level Processing
- if an employee has worked in and/or lived in multiple tax jurisdictions during one taxation year, the reporting of W2 for this employee is as follows:
Federal level:
- Federal information are totaled for all States for all employments for the reporting year by Federal Government Registration - this includes box 1 to box 14
- the reporting of W2 Form and Government file is sorted and grouped by Federal Government Registration
- after all federal information are summarized by Federal Government Registration, when W2 Forms are printed, if the employee has information overflow onto multiple W2 Forms, then the first W2 Form will print the Federal Information (Box 1 to 11, with Box 12 first 4 entries, Box 14 first 2 entries)
- additional Box 12 and Box 14 information will be printed on subsequent W2 form for the same employee and the federal information (Box 1 to 11) will not be repeated
State level:
- State information are summarized by each individual State regardless of whether the State Tax is generated from Work State Tax or Residence State Tax.
- if an employee has multiple tax jurisdictions within one State, the State tax information are summarized
- this includes box 15 to box 17, SUI quarterly information
- after all States information are summarized, the States are printed on the W2 form and overflows onto subsequent W2 form until all States are printed
Local level:
- Local information are reported for County Tax Information and City Tax Information
- if County tax has been withheld for a GEO code, the County tax information are summarized by the GEO code regardless of whether the tax is generated as Work County or Residence County tax
- if City tax has been withheld for a GEO code, the City tax and wages are summarized by the GEO code regardless of whether the tax is generated as Work City or Residence City tax
- this includes box 18 to box 20
School level:
- School District tax information are reported in Box 14 with School Wage Base and School Tax
- on each W2 form, box 14 Other Information allows up to four lines to be reported, each Box 14 information requires 2 lines to be printed, first line to print the description and second line to print the amount, School information will be printed using 4 lines, therefore subsequent W2 forms will be used if more Box 14 entries (4 lines) are required
- on each W2 form, box 12 Code allows up to four entries to be reported and subsequent W2 forms will be used if more than four entries are required
!W2 Type of Employment
- on IDGR screen, the user must define ‘W2 Employment Type’ on the ‘Registrations’ Tab for each group
A - Agriculture
F – Form 944 filer
H - Household
M - Military
Q – Medicare Qualified Government Employment
R – Regular (All others)
X - Railroad
- the ‘W2 Employment Type’ for a Group MUST NOT BE CHANGED even if there are multiple effective date records for a group
- if the ‘W2 Employment Type’ is changed for a Group for different effective date, then the W2 reporting will be incorrect because it cannot qualify the YTD information under the proper ‘W2 Employment Type’
- an employee may work for multiple ‘Types of Employment’ during a year, e.g. an employee is a ‘Regular employment’ employee during the year who also works under ‘Agriculture employment’ during the summer, in this case, the Agriculture Employment requires to report earnings on 943 and the agriculture earnings to be separate from the regular reporting of W2, the user should set up different Group for Agriculture and the employees should be paid under the Agriculture Group
- when RPYEU is run, the employee will automatically be reported under the proper ‘W2 Type of Employment’ from IDGR screen
- for Medicare Qualified Government Employees, the user does not need to set up a specific Group with ‘W2 Type of Employment’ = ‘Q’ in order for the employees to be reported with ‘Q’ type employment, the employee is classified as MQGE by the FICA and Medicare tax method on IPRLU screen
- if IPRLU FICA method = ‘Do not Calculate’ and the Medicare method is set up, this employee is qualified as MQGE employee and will be reported under ‘W2 Type of Employment’ ‘Q’ regardless of which Group he belongs to
!Government Media File Name
- when RPYEU is run, the user may select to generate government media file
- the user must provide a valid directory name and specify a magnetic media file name, e.g. W2_2012.txt
- the user may also attach the RPYEU Execution ID to the file name by specifying the word ‘mex’ in the file name
e.g. W2_2012_mex.txt - this will generate magnetic media file W2_2012_67109.txt for Execution ID 67109
e.g. W2_mex_ohio.txt - this will generate magnetic media file W2_67109_ohio.txt for Execution ID 67109
!XML File
- when RPYEU is run, the user MUST select a valid File Directory name in order for the XML file to be generated
- the XML file contains all employees information to be read by the Oracle W2 Form Print program RPW2
- RPYEU attaches the ‘.xml’ extension to the specified Media File name for the XML file:
e.g. Media File Name: W2_2012_mex.txt
XML File Name: W2_2012_mex.xml
e.g. Media File Name: W2_2012_mex
XML File Name: W2_2012_mex.xml
- after RPYEU is run, the user can use Notepad or PFE editor to review the XML file content
- the user can double click on the .xml file to open the XML file using an xml editor
- the user may archive this XML file for history purpose or for reprint purpose by Oracle version RPW2
!RPYEU Trace and Data Dump File
- user should always run RPYEU with Trace Level = ‘Exceptions only’ for all employees
- if there is problem in RPYEU and the user need to determine which employee has the problem, the user should run RPYEU with Trace Level = ‘Program Trace’, this will print a list of processed employees to determine which employee has the problem
- when Trace Level = ‘Program Trace’, the SQL SELECT Statements for Federal, State and Local levels are written as Trace messages
- when Trace Level = ‘Program Trace’, after each employee is processed, the estimated performance time for this employee is displayed
- after determining which employee has the problem, the user should run RPYEU for one employee with Trace Level = ‘Utility Trace’ to determine the problem in detail
- when RPYEU is run with any Trace level, all trace messages are also written to a ‘_trace.csv’ file so user can open with Excel for investigation, the dynamic SQL SELECT statement is written to ‘_select.txt’ file
- when the parameter ‘Create Data Dump’ toggle is checked, RPYEU will generate data dump files with .csv extension for Federal, State, Local, School information if the information is available. The user can open these data dump files with excel spreadsheet for debugging and balancing purposes.
For example, mex id 750234 is run with trace and data dump, following files are generated:
rpyeu_w2_750234.txt - government magnetic media file to be sent to the government
rpyeu_w2_750234.xml - xml file to be read by RPW2 to print W2 forms
rpyeu_w2_750234_select.txt - SQL SELECT statement, may be used in SQL+
rpyeu_w2_750234_trace.csv - trace file for debugging
rpyeu_w2_750234_fed.csv - data dump file with Federal information for debugging or balancing
rpyeu_w2_750234_state.csv - data dump file with State information for debugging or balancing
rpyeu_w2_750234_local.csv - data dump file with Local information for debugging or balancing
rpyeu_w2_750234_school.csv - data dump file with School information for debugging or balancing
- if RPYEU is not run in Trace mode, then only the first 2 files are generated:
rpyeu_w2_150277.txt - government magnetic media file to be sent to the government
rpyeu_w2_150277.xml - xml file to be read by RPW2 to print W2 forms
!Government Media File – Code RW, RS when Select by State
- When RPYEU is run and user does not select by State, then the Federal Media File will be generated with Code RW records on the media file
- When RPYEU is run and user selects one State, then RPYEU will be processed for that specific State only, code RW and RS records will be generated according the State government requirement and IDGV Variables tab ‘W2 State Media Filing’ set up
!Exclude Employees
- the user may exclude certain employees from reporting the W2 by setting up IDFDV Identifier ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’
- if the value of this ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’ Identifier is evaluated to ‘Y’, then the employee is bypassed
e.g. – if user does not want to report employees whose Assignment Title = ‘Election Worker’ or ‘Self Employed’, then:
- for Identifier ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’, set up the following:
- Field variable = EASD.ASSIGNMENT_TITLE
- Derivation Expression = decode(UPPER(~),’ELECTION WORKER','Y',‘SELF EMPLOYED’,'Y','N')
Note: User should use UPPER(~) to convert alphanumeric field to compare all Upper case letters.
- if the user has a complex situation to exclude an employee, the user may use a STAT CODE to indicate the employee is excluded
e.g. - an employee is excluded when he works in certain groups or with certain hours, then the user may keep track of
this by using a STAT CODE, if the employee is to be excluded, then set the STAT CODE value to 1.00
- then on IDFDV for Identifier ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’, set up the following:
- Field Source = Statistics
- Field variable = the STAT CODE that is used to exclude employee
- Derivation Expression = decode(~,1,'Y','N')
!Election Workers
- the election workers earnings should be reported on W2 if the payment is $600 or more
- if the payment is less than $600 and if social security and medicare taxes are withheld, then the earnings should be reported
- in this situation, that means if the election worker’s earnings is less than $600 and there is no social security and medicare tax withheld, then the payment should not be reported on W2
- the user may handle the Election Worker situation as follows:
1) - use a separate pay component to record the Election Worker payment
- if FICA and Medicare are not calculated for these payments, then the user can exclude election worker payment by not putting the pay component in the element for each W2 Box
2) - if the employee is paid with election worker payment and FICA and Medicare tax are withheld, then determine if the employee should be excluded or not. If employee is excluded, the user may set up a STAT CODE for IDFDV Identifier ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’ to exclude the employee from reporting on W2 form
3) - the user may exclude all Election Workers by using the EASD.ASSIGNMENT_TITLE = ‘ELECTION WORKER’
- then the user should use Identifier ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’ to exclude EASD.ASSIGNMENT_TITLE = ‘’ELECTION WORKER’
!Reissued / Corrected W2 Form
- if an employee lost the W2 Form, the user can reissue the W2 Form by running RPW2 and select the employee
- for Oracle version RPW2, prior to reissue the W2 Forms by RPW2, the user must have the XML file ready for the RPW2 program
- the XML file can be from one of the followings:
1) - user may re-run RPYEU to generate the XML file for the reissued employees, OR
2) - user may use the archive XML file from the previous RPYEU run and select the employees from XML file
- for Windward version RPW2, the user must select the GVT Run number that the employee belongs to when RPYEU is run
1) - user may re-run RPYEU to generate a new GVT Run number for the employee, OR
2) - user may locate the existing GVT Run number that the employee’s W2 was originally issued
- when RPW2 is run, the user should enter the word ‘REISSUED’ or ‘CORRECTED’ for the prompt ‘Reissued/Corrected:’, then the W2 Form will be printed with word specified
!Void W2 Form
- if user discovers errors on the W2 Forms and the user has not distributed the W2 Forms to the employees yet, the user should fix the problem and re-run RPYEU and RPW2
- if user discovers errors on W2 Form after the employee receives the W2 Forms, the user should still file the error W2 to the government and then manually correct the W2 Forms by completing Form W2-C for corrections, RPYEU and RPW2 do not use the VOID box on W2 Form to indicate error situation
!RPYEU Registration Set Up Audit
- when RPYEU is run, the user can optionally audit and fix the government registrations set up on IDGV screen
- the user can answer the following prompt:
Regist/Set Up Audit: Print and Run
- this prompt is validated from lexicon ‘X_PRINT_AND_RUN’
00 – Do not print, run
01 – Print, do not run
02 – Print and Run
03 – Excp and Run
- ‘00 – Do not print, run’
- after the Government Registration is audited, do not print all registrations, continue to run RPYEU
- this option suppresses all exception messages to be printed
- ‘01 – Print, do not run’
- after the Government Registration is audited, print all registrations, do not run RPYEU
- this is used when user just wants to verify all government registration set up prior to RPYEU run
- this option allows exception messages to be printed
- ‘02 – Print and Run’
- after the Government Registration is audited, print all registrations, continue to run RPYEU
- this should be the default so user can verify all government registration set up and run RPYEU
- this option allows exception messages to be printed
- ‘03 – Excp and Run’
- after the Government Registration is audited, do not print registrations, continue to run RPYEU
- this option allows exception messages to be printed
!RPYEU Exception Messages
- negative (credit) amounts are never allowed for W2 reporting and therefore if negative amounts are encountered, an exception message is printed, the user must resolve the negative amount and re-run
- the following Set Up exception messages are highlighted if the user choose to print ‘Set Up Exceptions’:
IMUF screen - User Field: W2 STATE MEDIA FILING is not set up for P2K_CM_GOVT_REGISTRATIONS
IMUF screen - User Field: W2 TAX TYPE CODE is not set up for P2K_CM_GOVT_REGISTRATIONS
IMUF screen - User Field: W2 TAXING ENTITY is not set up for P2K_CM_GOVT_REGISTRATIONS'
IDGV screen - Federal Registration is not set up for Entity: entity name
IDGR screen - W2 EMP TYPE is not set up for Entity: entity code Unit: unit code Group: group code Effective date
IDGV screen - State Registration is not set up for State: State name
IDGV Variables – State: State name W2 STATE MEDIA FILING = xx is invalid, value must be 00,01,02,03
IDGV screen - Local Registration is not set up for County Tax Jurisdiction: County name
IDGV Variables – County: county name W2 STATE MEDIA FILING = xx is invalid, value must be 00,01,02,03
IDGV screen - Local Registration is not set up for City Tax Jurisdiction: City name
IDGV Variables – City: city name W2 STATE MEDIA FILING = xx is invalid, value must be 00,01,02,03
IDGV screen - School Registration is not set up for School: School name
Warning: IDFDV Identifier Name is not set up
Warning: IDFDV Identifier Name contains CONSTANT
- the following exception messages are always printed for an employee:
Empl nnn - Invalid SSN: ssn, SSN must be 11 positions, position 4 and 7 must be a hyphen (-)
- the user must verify and correct the SSN number, otherwise W2 form and Magnetic media filing will be incorrect for the employee
Empl nnn - Term date CCYYMMDD is prior to reporting year CCYY
- this is a warning to indicate the employee has been terminated in prior years and has YTD information for this calendar year
Empl nnn - Box 3 999999.99 + Box 7 999999.99 = 999999.99 exceeds Annual Max Wage Base 999999.99
- the user must correct either Box 3 or Box 7 set up, the system is not adjusting this number because it does not know if Box 3 or Box 7 is correct
- if this situation is not corrected, the W2 will be rejected because the government does not allow these wage base to exceed the annual maximum
Empl nnn - Employee has no Federal Information for Employment Type R, employee is bypassed
Empl nnn - Identifier Amt 999999.99-, negative amount not allowed, amount change to 0.00
- the user must review this situation and correct the negative amount, otherwise the system reports zero for this field
Empl nnn - Identifier Amt 999999.9999 exceeds 2 decimals, amount change to 999999.99
- this situation may cause a rounding error, the user should review the situation to find out why the amount exceeds 2 decimals and correct if necessary
Empl nnn Identifier Amt 999999999.99 exceeds 11 digits, check printed Form and Govt File size
- the system highlights the amount that exceeds 11 digits, the user should review the printing of W2 for this field and the government file size to report this amount
Empl nnn Error: RS record posn 999 length = nn only, Field size exceeded for Amt 99999999.99
- this Error message is issued when the Length of the Field Size available on the magnetic media file is not large enough to hold the amount
- the field size is always checked for each numeric field prior to writing the amount into the file
- the user MUST correct this situation because Oracle will report ‘#######’ in the field and the government will reject this file
- the ‘#######’ is not corrected to report zero in the file because this will result in an incorrect reporting situation for the W2 between the W2 form print and the W2 file
- the printing of the W2 will probably be large enough to print the field size while the magnetic media reporting could not report this large amount
- the user must find out to see if incorrect data is the cause of the problem, or contact Highline
!RPYEU Summary Report Level
- there are 5 levels of reporting for RPYEU Summary Report:
- Federal, State, County, City and School District Level
- each level of print can be suppressed by selecting the options from the RPYEU run
- however, the Federal level Grand total report is always printed to capture all statistics of the RPYEU run
- the Federal level print is reported and sorted by employee and has all levels of details for an employee
- the State, County, City and School District levels are reported and sorted by State, County, City and School District
- the user may suppress the printing of ‘Set up exceptions’ for IDFDV, IDGV etc, however, the employee level of exception are always printed as error or warning situations are encountered for each employee
!RPYEU Sort Level
There are 3 prompts to allow users to sort employees in RPYEU for distribution of W2 Form purposes:
1) Sort Level By
- the lexicon ‘X_W2_SORT_LEVEL’ is used for this prompt, the values are:
00 – N/A
01 - Department (easd)
02 - Dept W2 Destination
03 - Dept SUI ER Number
04 - Pay Dest (easd)
05 - Location (easd)
06 - W2 Destination (eid)
- the department is the prime assignment details’ department that is effective as of the user specified ‘As of date’
- user may define a special ‘W2 Destination’ at the department level or employee level for W2 distribution purpose
- user may also specify to ‘Provide Sort Level Totals’ if the user has specified a ‘Sort Level By’ level
2) Sort by Active/Inactive
- this prompt is useful for users to sort Terminated employees from Active employees so users can mail the W2 forms for terminated employees
- the lexicon ‘X_W2_SORT_ACTIVE’ is used for this prompt, the values are:
00 - Do not Sort Active/Inactive (default)
01 - Before Sort Level
02 - After Sort Level
- if 00 is selected, the terminated employees will not be sorted before active employees
- if 01 - Before Sort Level, all terminated employees will be sorted Before the Sort Level from the previous prompt
e.g. - if Department A has 2 terminated employees (A1, A2), 3 active employees (A3, A4, A5)
- if Department B has 2 terminated employees (B1, B3), 3 active employees (B3, B4, B5)
- RPYEU will show in this order
Department A Status: Inactive Employee A1
Employee A2
Department B Status: Inactive Employee B1
Employee B2
Department A Status: Active Employee A3
Employee A4
Employee A5
Department B Status: Active Employee B3
Employee B4
Employee B5
- all Inactive employees are grouped together by Department (Sort Level) and then followed by all Active employees
- if 02 - After Sort Level, all terminated employees will be sorted After the Sort Level from the previous prompt
e.g. - RPYEU will show in this order
Department A Status: Inactive Employee A1
Employee A2
Status: Active Employee A3
Employee A4
Employee A5
Department B Status: Inactive Employee B1
Employee B2
Status: Active Employee B3
Employee B4
Employee B5
- Inactive employees are grouped together within each Department (Sort Level) and then followed Active employees of the same Department
3) Sort employees By
- the lexicon ‘X_W2_SORT_PERSON’ is used for this prompt, the values are:
01 – Person Code
02 – Last Name/First Name
03 – Destin/Last/First
04 – Dept/Last/First
- this prompt is sort within the ‘Sort Level By’ and ‘Sort by Active / Inactive’ prompt
!RPYEU Combined Employment Type
- the EFW2 media file Code RE Employer record requires to report one of the following types of employment:
A - Agriculture
F – Form 944 filer
H - Household
M - Military
Q – Medicare Qualified Government Employment
R – Regular (All others)
X - Railroad
- the Employment Code is retrieved from IDGR ‘W2 Employment Type’ or employee’s IPRLU screen FICA and Medicare method
- all employees with the same Employment Code are grouped together under one Code RE record
- if IPRLU FICA method = ‘Do not calculate’ and MEDICARE method is NOT ‘Do not calculate’, then this employee is classified as Employment Type ‘Q’ for W2 reporting
- otherwise the W2 Type of Employment is derived from IDGR ‘W2 Employment Type’ field
- the Federal Filing of EFW2 requires Code RE records to be reported by Type of Employments, however, some States filing do not require to separate employees by Type of Employments, therefore, on RPYEU selection screen, the following prompt is used:
Combine Employment Types: Yes/No
- the default should be ‘No’ for most RPYEU file reporting, however, if the State filing does not require to file by ‘Types of employment’, then the user may change this to ‘Yes’ to combine all Types of Employment under one Code RE record
- if the user only have ‘Regular’ Types of Employment, then the user can ignore this prompt and default to ‘No’ all the time
!W2 Form Control Number Print
On W2 Form 2-on-1-page Box d, the user may print the Control Number on the Form for reference or distribution purpose, e.g. Person Code. The user must set up the following Identifiers on IDFDV screen:
Seq 2800 W2-CONTROL-PRT Print Control Number on Form Constant
Null, 0 – Do not print Control Number on W2 Form
1 - Print Control Number as defined in W2-CONTROL-NUM Identifier
2 - Print Control Number as defined from RPYEU ‘Sort Level By’ prompt
3 - Print W2-CONTROL-NUM Identifier and Person Code
4 - Print ‘Sort Level By’ prompt and Person Code
5 - Print ‘Sort Level By’ prompt and W2-CONTROL-NUM Identifier
6 - Print ‘Sort Level By’ prompt and W2-CONTROL-NUM Identifier and Person Code
Seq 2810 W2-CONTROL-NUM Control Number on Form Data Base Column
Enter your company data
e.g. ‘EID.PERSON_CODE’, or ‘DLN.LOCALITY’, or ‘PPA.PAYROLL_CODE’ etc
- if Seq 2810 W2-CONTROL-NUM specifies a Data Base Column e.g. ‘PPA.PAYROLL_CODE’, and within this year the employee has been paid by more than one entry of this data base column, e.g. employee is paid under 2 Payroll Codes, if the Government Registrations are the same, the YTD values will be accumulated together, and W2 Form Box d Control Number will be printed with one PAYROLL_CODE only, usually the PAYROLL_CODE with the name that is sorted last is printed
e.g. Employee is paid by PAYROLL_CODE: US CENTRAL BW
Employee is also paid by PAYROLL_CODE: US WEST BW
Then ‘US WEST BW’ will be printed

!RPYEU – Quarterly Form Code set up
For quarterly filing, the user must set up IDFDV Annual Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ for all Federal and State identifiers, including SUI/SDI, respecting the Work and Home State pay components. The user may also need to set up Form Code ‘HL$US-QTR-2012’ depending on each State.
- Annual Form code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’ is used to report the Federal File and W2 Form Information for 2011 year end, this Form Code information is also used to report quarterly information for the States for 2012
- the difference for Federal and State Filing is the file format for each State, e.g. EFW2, ICESA, TIB4 or specific State Format
- prior to Jan 1, 2004, if the State is using ICESA, TIB4 or specific State Format, RPQTR program was used to report the quarterly file with Form Code ‘HL$US-QTR-2012’
- effective Jan 1, 2004, RPYEU supports the filing of multiple Government Registrations at Federal/State/Local level, RPYEU and RPQTR program are merged together, therefore RPQTR program is not used after Jan 1, 2004
- the quarterly Form Code ‘HL$US-QTR-2012’ is being used and may not be changed because it contains all necessary Identifiers to support the ICESA, TIB-4 and State specific format, however all main processing are derived from Annual Form Code ‘HL$US-W2-2012’
- when RPYEU is run for quarterly reporting, user MUST enter the Annual Form Code and then optionally 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., the user may enter any values 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, the user must verify this report 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, user can go into IPGR (Government Run) screen for online inquiry by GVT Run number
- from IPGR (Government Run) screen, the user can then go into the employee’s detail government reporting information on IPGH (Government Header) inquiry screen
- the user may run many RPYEU runs for different sets of employees for testing or auditing purposes
- however the user must run all employees 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 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
- the user may run RPYEU 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 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 is no GVT Headers

!RPW2 – Printer Set Up
IMPORTANT
When printing from the pdf file, user must set the Page Scaling option 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 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 2 States and 2 Locals information until all State and Local information are printed, the Local information printed may not necessary be coincide with the State Information that the Local resides into
- 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
- the user must run RMEX 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
- the user should verify RPW2 Box 1 to 11 totals 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 each Local, the user 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, the user must run RMEX 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
- user 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
- 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
