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.

2011-2012 Year End Changes#

Government Websites#

http://www.ssa.gov/employer/pub.htm http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/iw2w3--2011.pdf http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/fw2--2011.pdf

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.)

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

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$US-W2-2012’ has supplied the ‘Store Option’ starting from Seq# 2000 in order for RPYEU to store the Employer Name / Addresses, Employee Name / Addresses in the Government Remittance tables. Important:RPYEU must be run with the new IDFD Form Code ‘HL$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:

1. 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)
   
   
2. 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.
   
   
3. 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 section below.
4. 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 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
W2 TAX TYPE CODE	Used by all states
W2 TAXING ENTITY	Used by all states
W2 WAGE PLAN CODE	Used by the state of California
W2 BRANCH CODE	Used by the state of California
W2 ER NAME	Used by Federal reporting, this overrides 'Entity Name' on IDEN
W2 LOCN CODE	Used by Federal reporting, this overrides 'Location Code' on IDEN

For Quarterly reporting, these UDF's are used when ‘HL$US-QTR-2004’ Form Code is being used:

IMUF – Define User Fields for IDDP#

On IMUF, define the user fields for P2K_CM_DEPARTMENT_DETAILS.

The following user fields are used on IDDP. (RPYEU will generate these UDF's if they do not exist.)

UDF	Usage
SUI ER NUMBER
W2 DESTINATION

IMUF – Define User Fields for IEID#

On IMUF, define the user fields for P2K_HR_IDENTITIES.

The following user fields are used on IEID for Minnesota. (They be may set up on IMUF manually or RPYEU will generate these UDF's if they do not exist.)

UDF	Usage
W2 DESTINATION
MMREF PROBATIONARY	Used by the state of Missouri
MMREF OFFICER CODE	Used by the state of Missouri

IMUF – Define User Fields for IDCO#

On IMUF, define the user fields for P2K_CM_COUNTRIES. (RPYEU will generate these UDF's if it does not exist.)

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' 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 and Employee 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#

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

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’.

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:

1. 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.
2. 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 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 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 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 tab on IMUF for P2K_CM_GOVT_REGISTRATIONS.
• On the IDGV Variables 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 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 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 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$US-W2-2011’ has supplied the ‘Store Option’ starting from Seq# 2000 in order for RPYEU to store the Employer Name / Addresses, Employee Name / Addresses and the Amounts of the Seq# in the Government Remittance Tables. Important: RPYEU must be run with the new IDFD Form Code ‘HL$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.

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 is totaled for all states for all employments for the reporting year by Federal Government Registration, this includes Box 1 to 14.
• The reporting of W2 Form and Government file is sorted and grouped by Federal Government Registration.
• After all federal information is summarized by Federal Government Registration and 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 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 is 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 is summarized. This includes Box 15 to 17, SUI quarterly information.
• After all the information for states is summarized, the states are printed on the W2 form and overflows onto subsequent W2 form until all states are printed.

Local Level

• Local information is reported for County Tax Information and City Tax Information.
• If County tax has been withheld for a GEO code, the County tax information is 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 20.

School Level

• School District tax information is 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 for 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, ‘W2 Employment Type’ must be defined 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, for example, an employee is a ‘Regular Employment’ employee during the year and is an ‘Agriculture Employment’ employee during the summer. In this case, the Agriculture Employment requires the reporting of the earnings on 943 and the agriculture earnings to be separate from the regular reporting of W2. A different group for Agriculture should be set up 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.
• For Medicare Qualified Government Employees, a specific Group with ‘W2 Type of Employment’ = ‘Q’ does not need to be set up 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.
• 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 the employee belongs to.

Government Media File Name#

• When RPYEU is run, the government media file may be selected to be generated
• A valid directory name must be provided and a magnetic media file name {e.g. W2_2012.txt) specified.
• The RPYEU Execution ID may also be attached to the file name by specifying the word ‘mex’ in the file name. For example:
  • W2_2012_mex.txt - this will generate magnetic media file W2_2012_67109.txt for Execution ID 67109
  • W2_mex_ohio.txt - this will generate magnetic media file W2_67109_ohio.txt for Execution ID 67109

XML File#

• When RPYEU is run, a valid File Directory name must be selected 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, for example:
  • Media File Name: W2_2012_mex.txt
    XML File Name: W2_2012_mex.xml
  • Media File Name: W2_2012_mex
    XML File Name: W2_2012_mex.xml
• After RPYEU is run, Notepad or PFE editor can be used to review the XML file content.
• Double click on the .xml file to open the XML file using an xml editor.
• This XML file may be archived for historical purpose or for reprinting purpose by Oracle version RPW2

RPYEU Trace and Data Dump File#

• RPYEU should always be run with Trace Level = ‘Exceptions only’ for all employees
• if there is problem in RPYEU and there is a need to determine which employee has the problem, RPYEU should be run with Trace Level = ‘Program Trace'. This will print a list of processed employees in order 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, RPYEU should be run 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 that the file can be 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 any available Federal, State, Local, School information. These data dump files can be opened with an Excel spreadsheet for debugging and balancing purposes. For example, mex id 750234 is run with trace and data dump and 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 two 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 and 'By State' is not selected, then the Federal media file will be generated with Code RW records on the media file.
• When RPYEU is run and one state is selected, then RPYEU will be processed for that specific state only. Code RW and RS records will be generated according the State government requirement and the IDGV Variables tab ‘W2 State Media Filing’ set up.

Exclude Employees#

• The user may exclude certain employees may be excluded W2 reporting 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 employees whose Assignment Title = ‘Election Worker’ or ‘Self Employed’ are not to be reported, 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: UPPER(~) should be used to convert alphanumeric field to compare all Upper case letters.
• If there is a complex situation to exclude an employee, a STAT CODE may be used to indicate that the employee is excluded.
  e.g. An employee is excluded when he works in certain groups or with certain hours, then his work activity may kept track by using a STAT CODE. If the employee is to be excluded, then set the STAT CODE value to 1.00. In this case, IDFDV for Identifier ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’, the following should be set up:
  • 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 Election Worker situation should be handled 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 election worker payment can be excluded 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, a STAT CODE may be set up for IDFDV Identifier ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’ to exclude the employee from reporting on W2 form.
3. All Election Workers may be excluded by using the EASD.ASSIGNMENT_TITLE = ‘ELECTION WORKER’, then the Identifier ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’ should be used to exclude EASD.ASSIGNMENT_TITLE = ‘’ELECTION WORKER’.

Reissued / Corrected W2 Form#

If an employee has lost the W2 Form, the W2 Form can be reissued by running RPW2 with the employee selected.

For Oracle version RPW2, prior to reissue of the W2 Forms by RPW2, the XML file must be ready for the RPW2 program. The XML file can be from one of the followings:

1. RPYEU may be re-run to generate the XML file for the reissued employees, OR
2. The archive XML file may be used from the previous RPYEU run and the employees from XML file selected

For Windward version RPW2, the GVT Run number that the employee belongs to when RPYEU is run must be selected:

1. RPYEU may be re-run to generate a new GVT Run number for the employee, OR
2. The existing GVT Run number that the employee’s W2 was originally issued may be located

When RPW2 is run, the word ‘REISSUED’ or ‘CORRECTED’ should be entered for the prompt ‘Reissued/Corrected:’, then the W2 form will be printed with word specified.

Void W2 Form#

• If an error is discovered on the W2 forms and the W2 Forms have not be distributed to the employees yet, the problem should be fixed and RPYEU and RPW2 rerun.
• If an error is discovered on the W2 forms after the employee receives the W2 Forms, the error W2 should still be filed to the government and the W2 Forms manually corrected by completing Form W2-C for corrections. RPYEU and RPW2 do not use the VOID box on the W2 Form to indicate error situation.

RPYEU Registration Set Up Audit#

When RPYEU is run, there is an option to audit and fix the government registrations set up on IDGV.

The following prompt can be answered: 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 all government registration set up needs to be verified prior to the 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 all government registration set up can be verified and RPYEU run. 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 negative amount must be resolved and the report re-run.

The following set up exception messages are highlighted if the ‘Set Up Exceptions’ are selected to be printed:

IMUF	User Field: W2 STATE MEDIA FILING is not set up for P2K_CM_GOVT_REGISTRATIONS
IMUF	User Field: W2 TAX TYPE CODE is not set up for P2K_CM_GOVT_REGISTRATIONS
IMUF	User Field: W2 TAXING ENTITY is not set up for P2K_CM_GOVT_REGISTRATIONS
IDGV	Federal Registration is not set up for Entity: entity name
IDGR	W2 EMP TYPE is not set up for Entity: entity code Unit: unit code Group: group code Effective date
IDGV	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	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	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	School Registration is not set up for School: School name

Warning:
IDFDV Identifier Name is not set up
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 SSN number must be verified and corrected, 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

Either Box 3 or Box 7 set up must be corrected, the system does not adjust this number because it does not know if Box 3 or 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

This situation must be reviewed and the negative amount corrected, 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 and should be reviewed in order to find out why the amount exceeds 2 decimals and corrected 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 printing of W2 for this field and the government file size to report this amount should be reviewed.

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

This situation must be corrected 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 incorrect reporting 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.

An investigation must be made to see if incorrect data is the cause of the problem, or Support must be contacted.

RPYEU Summary Report Level#

There are five levels of reporting for RPYEU Summary Report:

• Federal
• State
• County
• City
• School District

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

Please enter other prompts accordingly.

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 – W2 Form Print#

RPW2 – W2 Form Print Selection Criteria#

For Oracle version RPW2, the user must run RPW2 and send the report to PDF file instead of to the Previewer. RPW2 aligned the W2 government forms in PDF format with user ability to adjust the parameters for ‘Top Margin’ and the ‘Between Form Space’ when generating the PDF file.

Test Form Set Up - optional - all users should test their Printer with this ‘Form Set Up’ toggle to find out the correct Page Set Up for ‘Top Margin Adjustment’ and ‘Between Form Space’ adjustment prior to printing the actual W2 Forms. - since each Printer’s Page Set Up margin varies differently, each time when the user is printing the W2 forms on a different Printer, the user should do a Printer Set up test

User Comment - enter User Comment to be printed on RPW2 report parameter page

Report Parameters (* Oracle Report Only) - this area is used for Oracle RPW2 only

- note that for each Employee Copy (i.e. Copy B, C, 2), the EE Instructions are different

- if the user wants to print a complete set of all Employee’s W2 Copies and Instructions, the user can select: 22 – Copy B + C + 2 (2 Pg) - Show Copy B and Copy C on one Page follow by Copy 2 and Copy 2 on the next page

Adjust Top Margin - optional, specifies the Top Margin Adjustment for the printing of the Form - the user should default to NULL or ‘00 – 0 line’ adjustment to begin testing - after the PDF file is generated, print one page on blank paper, align the paper with the pre-printed form and check if the alignment fits into the box - if adjustment is needed, then re-run RPW2 by entering the Top Margin adjustment

Show Frame - when user is testing the margin set up or to debug a Print Format problem, the user may use this toggle to show the line border of the internal Frames

Report Filters - this area is needed for Oracle and Windward RPW2

GVT Run (WW only) - if user is running Oracle version of RPW2, this GVT Run parameter is not used - for Windward version of RPW2, user MUST enter one GVT Run number

Person Code - optional, enter one or more Person Codes

NOTE for Oracle RPW2:

If the combination of ‘Top Margin Adjustment’ and ‘Between Form Space’ pushes the Form to go over to the next page, the user should check the alignment with the actual pre-printed form and re-run RPW2 with different ‘Top Margin’ and ‘Between Form Space’ again.

When user is running RPW2 for pre-printed Forms, please do not toggle the ‘Show W2 Form’, ‘Show Frame’ parameters.

RPW2 Example:

Show Form (2 on 1 Pg) Copy B + C (1 Pg) Show Frame (Test Only) Yes

For Top Margin adjustment, on the top form, the darker Red line above the top form is between several Green lines and it is in the center of these Green lines, the user can adjust Up or Down from the ‘Adjust Top Margin’ parameter.

For ‘Between Form Space’, the Blue line in the middle is the bottom of the Top form, user can increase the space increment for the Bottom form from the ‘Between Form Space’ parameter.

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
