The following steps outline the procedure to produce the W2 Forms and the Government file:

RPREGT

• For annual reporting, run RPREGT to produce the YTD Register
• For quarterly reporting, run RPREGT to produce the QTD Register
  
  

IDFD

• This form defines the W2 Form and File Definition for Annual and Quarterly reporting
• This form contains the default values to enter on IDFDV
• The information on this form is provided by High Line with the Year End software. The script only needs to be executed in order to load in the most current information for the year.
  
  

IDFDV

• Users MUST set up Annual W2 Form and File Definition with user information
• Users CAN set up Quarterly Form and File Definition with user information
  
  

RDFD

• To report the Form and File Definition from IDFD and IDFDV
  
  

RPYEU

• Produces US Year End Summary Report for the reporting Year or the reporting Quarter
• Users must use this report to balance to the YTD Register or QTD Register report (RPREGT)
• Users must check exception messages from this Summary Report and correct any exceptions
• Generates the Federal Government file in federal format
• Generates the State File in the federal file format for States that accept the federal file format
• Generates the State File for States with specific State File format requirements
• Users must run RPYEU one State at a time to generate State specific file
• Each State may have its own requirements. Users must verify if that State specific format is supported by RPYEU prior to running RPYEU for a specific State file
• Generates an XML file for RPW2 (Oracle version only) to print the W2 Forms
• Generates the GVT Run and stores information in IPGR, IPGH for RPW2W4C/RPW2W4TB (Windward versions) to print the W2 forms
• In utility trace mode, RPYEU generates a .txt file for the SQL Select statement and the .csv trace file
• Provides an option to generate data dump file in a .csv format for Federal, State, Local, School data for balancing and debugging purposes
  
  

IPGR

• View data by GVT Run Number after RPYEU is run
  
  

IPGH

• View data by GVT Header after RPYEU is run for an employee
  
  

UPGRUNDO

• Allows users to undo a GVT Run number by employee
• To undo an erroneous GVT Run due to set up issues or to remove archived GVT info
  
  

RPW2W4C (Windward Only)

• Produces W2 forms (supports 4-on-a-page formats only)
• Reads GVT file information generated from RPYEU to print the W2 Forms
• Generates grand totals and exception messages with the RPW2W4C Execution ID as Execution Run Logs
  
  

RPW2W4TB (Windward Only)

• Produces W2 forms (supports 4-on-a-page, top-to-bottom format only)

• Produces W2 forms (supports 2-on-a-page and 4-on-a-page formats)
• Reads the .XML file generated from RPYEU to print the W2 forms
• Prints W2 information on pre-printed W2 forms or prints different copies (Copy A, 1, B, C, 2, D ) of the W2 forms, with the option to print the Employee Instructions on the back
• Generates grand totals and exception messages with the RPW2 Execution ID as Execution Run Logs
• Users MUST use the Execution ID of the RPW2 and run RMEX to get a grand total report
  
  

RMEX

• Produces a Grand Total report from the W2 Print Program run to balance to the RPYEU report
• Users MUST enter the Execution ID of the W2 Print Program run to obtain a grand total report
• This report is used to balance to RPYEU only. It is not used for government reporting

IMUF – Define User Fields for IDGV#

On IMUF, users must define the User Defined Fields for P2K_CM_GOVT_REGISTRATIONS.

The following User Defined Fields (UDF) are defined on the IDGV Variables tab. The RPYEU process will generate these UDF's if they do not already 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 the IDEN Entity Name
W2 LOCN CODE	Used by Federal reporting, this overrides the IDEN Location Code

For Quarterly reporting, these UDF's are used when ‘HL$US-QTR-2018’ Form Code is being used:

IMUF – Define User Fields for IDDP#

On IMUF, users must define the UDF for P2K_CM_DEPARTMENT_DETAILS.

The following UDFs are defined on IDDP. The RPYEU process will generate these UDF's if they do not exist.

• SUI ER NUMBER
• W2 DESTINATION

If the 'SUI ER NUMBER' is not set up for a department, then the SUI ER NUMBER from IDGV is used.

IMUF – Define User Fields for IEID#

On IMUF, users must define the UDFs for P2K_HR_IDENTITIES.

The following UDFs are defined on IEID for Minnesota reporting. Users can set up the IMUF form manually, or the RPYEU process will generate these UDFs if they do not exist.

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

IMUF – Define User Fields for IDCO#

On IMUF, users must define the UDF for P2K_CM_COUNTRIES. The RPYEU process will generate these UDFs if they do not already exist.

• ISO COUNTRY CODE

IDCO – Define ISO Country Code for Foreign Countries#

If the employer or employees have addresses that are not in the USA, the EFW2 file needs to report the 2 character International Organization for Standardization (ISO) country code.

The 'Country Code' on IDCO is user-defined and is usually the three character United Nations code, however the two character ISO codes can also be used.

Example:

Country	3 character United Nation Code	2 character ISO Country Code
Mexico	MEX	MX
Mozambique	MOZ	MZ

Users need to enter the ISO country code in the 'ISO Alpha' field on the IDCO form.
If the ISO country code is not entered, then the IDCO country code is used as the ISO country code.

Please read the Employer/Employee Primary Addresses sections below for more information.

IDDP – Department Screen#

• The State of Minnesota requires to report the Quarterly file report by the MN State Unemployment Insurance Account Number and the MN Employer Unit Number. These two numbers are defined at the department level, therefore, users must set up the ‘SUI ER Number’ UDF for each department.
  

Example: For the Planning & Zoning Department, the MN number is ‘7977999-004’ on the IDDP form. Users should enter the ‘SUI ER Number’ as 7977999-004

• If the ‘SUI ER Number’ is not set up for a department, then the 'SUI ER Number' from IDGV is used.
• NOTE: On IDDP, users must click on the Detail section of the form, then click the UDF button to get to the UDF screen.
• For all other states, users can enter the ‘W2 Destination’ for distributing the W2 forms by department.

IEID – Employee Identity Screen User Field#

Users can enter the the ‘W2 Destination’ UDF and/or ‘MMREF Officer Code’ UDF for the employee.
Users can enter the 'W2 Destination’ for distributing the W2 forms for this employee.

IDGR – Define Group for Govt Registration#

Important: The Federal/State/Local Registration numbers MUST NOT be changed for a Group for different effective date records. The UPCLOZ program will not create new YTD records if the Group changes the effective date. Consequently, if the Group must change Registration numbers, users should either:

• Create a new Group, OR
• Change all of the effective records 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’ on IDGV and is displayed on IDGR.

For each group at the State/Prov level, users can point to a ‘State/Prov Set’ and ‘State/Prov Type’. Since each group can be paid in many different States or Provinces, the State/Prov Registration number cannot be displayed on IDGR.

For each employee that belongs to this group, the State/Prov Registration Number is retrieved from IDGV by the defined ‘State/Prov Set’ and ‘State/Prov Type’ and the Pay Header State/Prov of the employee.

At the Local level, the Local Registration Number is retrieved from IDGV by the defined ‘Local Regist Set’ and ‘Local Regist Type’ and the 'GEO Local' of the employee.

Each group must define one of the following ‘W2 Employment Types’ for W2 reporting purposes:

• A - Agriculture
• F – Form 944 filer
• H - Household
• M - Military
• Q – Medicare Qualified Government Employment (MQGE)
• 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 a 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 can work for multiple 'Types of Employment' during a year.

Note: For ‘Q - MQGE' employment, users are not required to group all employees under one group. The MQGE employees can belong to a group with ‘R’ type employment, and IPRLU can specify the proper MEDICARE and FICA method to classify them as MQGE employees. If this field is blank, Regular is used. (see below for detail)

IDSP – Define States#

• A State must be defined on IDSP in order for the State to be reported.
• The 'State Registration Number' must also be defined on IDGV in order for the State to be reported.
• If a state is missing on IDGV, the RPYEU process will create a default entry with 'Regist Number' set to '0' and issue a warning
• Users must update this field with the correct State Registration Number in order for the State to be reported.

IDCN – Define Counties#

• If County tax is applicable for a State, the County must be defined on IDCN in order for the County tax to be reported.
• The County Code is the first two segments of the GEO code.
  Example: In Indiana, the GEO code ‘15-097-0670’ is for the City of ‘Indianapolis’ and the County Code ‘15-097-0000’ is for the County of ‘Marion’, therefore, users should define the Marion County Code as ‘15-097-0000’ on (IDCN).
• The GEO and County codes are provided by Symmetry for US taxation.
• Users must define the Local Registration for a City on IDGV in order for the City tax to be reported.

IDTX – Define Tax Jurisdictions#

A City's Tax Jurisdiction must be defined on IDGV in order for the City tax to be reported.

IDSD – Define School Districts#

The School Registration must be defined on IDGV in order for the School District tax to be reported.

IDGV – One or Multiple Government Registrations#

For each Entity on IDGV, users must define the Government Registration Set that is used to collect Federal, State and Local Registrations. Under the Registration Set, users must define the 'Federal Registration’ for the Country USA with a valid ‘Employer Identification Number’. Then users can set up the State and Local Registrations for each State/Local under the same Registration Set.

Organizations with one Federal Registration

• If your organization has one Federal registration, users must define one Government Registration Set.
• Then within this Government Registration Set, users should set up the Federal, State and Local Registrations on IDGV.
  

Example, on IDGV, users should set up Federal Registration with Registration Type defined as ‘US Fed Regist 1’.
Note: If Registration Type ‘US Fed Regist 1’ is used, then:

• The FICA registration should be defined using the Registration Type ‘US FICA Regist 1’
• The MEDICARE registration should be defined using the Registration Type ‘US MEDI Regist 1’ etc. The last digit of the Registration Type must match each type of Registration.

Organizations with Multiple Federal Registrations If your organization has multiple Federal Registrations, users have two options:

1. One Registration Set can be set up, then set up the Registration Types of ‘Fed Regist 1’, ‘Fed Regist 2’ up to ‘Fed Regist 9’. This allows up to nine Federal Registrations.
2. Multiple Registration Sets can be set up, then set up Registration Type ‘Fed Regist 1’, ‘Fed Regist 2’ up to ‘Fed Regist 9’ for each Registration Set. This allows for an unlimited number of Federal Registrations.

• Govt Registration Sets can be used to group similar Registrations together.

Example:

Govt Registration Set	Usage
MAIN REGIST	Use as default to group all registrations initially
REGIST 2	Users can define another set for all level of registrations
FED REGIST	Users can define Federal level registrations for this set
STATE REGIST	Users can define State level registrations for this set
LOCAL REGIST	Users can define Local level registrations for this set
FULLTIME REGIST	Users can define Registrations for Full time employees
PARTTIME REGIST	Users can define Registrations for Part time employees
SEASONAL REG	Users can define Registrations for Seasonal employees
STATE OHIO	Users can 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, users must match the last digit of the Registration Type for the same Federal, State and Local level of registrations.

Example #1
If the Registration Type is defined as ‘US Fed Regist 1’ then:

• FICA Registration Type must be ‘US FICA Regist 1’
• MEDI Registration Type must be ‘US MEDI Regist 1’
  
  

If the Registration Type is defined as 'US State Regist 1’, then:

• SUI Registration Type must be ‘US SUI Regist 1’
• SDI Registration Type must be ‘US SDI Regist 1’

Example #2
If the Registration Type is defined as ‘US Fed Regist 2’, then:

• FICA Registration Type must be ‘US FICA Regist 2’
• MEDI Registration Type must be ‘US MEDI Regist 2’
  
  

If Registration Type is defined as ‘US State Regist 2’, then:

• SUI Registration Type must be ‘US SUI Regist 2’
• SDI Registration Type must be ‘US SDI Regist 2’

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 allows organizations who have multiple government registrations for one Entity to report a different Employer Name or Address for 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: Users must enter the exact Location code 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 be defined for each Entity, with each Govt Regist Set for the Registration Type ‘US Fed Regist 1’, etc.

State Level
A State must be defined on IDGV for an Entity with the ‘State Registration’ by Govt Regist Set and Registration Type in order for the State to be reported.

• When the ‘State Registration’ is defined, the ‘Variables’ tab must also be set up. See the State Media Filing section below.
• RPYEU automatically defines the User Defined fields on the IDGV Variables tab for P2K_CM_GOVT_REGISTRATIONS.
  
  

State Media Filing
On the IDGV Variables tab, the ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable must be defined to indicate if this State is required to produce a W2 File for the State.
The ‘W2 State Media Filing’ values are:

Value	Description
00	Not required to file magnetic media to the State
01	Include State Code RS Records in the Federal file. Users can send the federal file to the State. 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, users should set the ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable to '01'. When the RPYEU process is run, the State Code RS record will automatically be generated in the federal file. Users only need to send a copy of the federal file to the State.
02	State requires its own file, do not include other State information in the State file. *If the State does not accept other States' information in their State File, users should set the 'W2 State Media Filing' variable to '02'. *Users should run RPYEU one State at a time and set the 'Media Format' to ‘State File Format’. *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 with High Line for a list of States that are supported by RPYEU.

Local Level
A County Tax Jurisdiction must be defined for each County on IDGV with the ‘Local Registration’ in order for the County tax to be reported.
A City Tax Jurisdiction must be defined for each County on IDGV with the ‘Local Registration’ in order for the City tax to be reported.
When users are defining the ‘Local Registration’, users should also set up the ‘Variables’ tab. See the Local Media Filing section below.

State Media for Local Filing
On IDGV, Variables tab, the 'W2 State Media Filing' variable can be defined (optional)to indicate if this Local requires to be filed with magnetic media on a W2 file.

• W2 STATE MEDIA FILING
• W2 TAX TYPE CODE
• W2 TAXING ENTITY

The ‘W2 State Media Filing’ values are:

Value	Description
00	Not Required to file magnetic media.
01	Include Local Federal Code RS records in the Federal File format If the Local information is to be reported along with the Federal Code RS information, users should set the ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable to ‘01’ for this local. When RPYEU is run, the State Information Code RS record will be generated along with the Local information.
02	Include Local State Code RS record in the State File format. If the Local information is to be reported along with the State Code RS information, users should set the ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable to‘02’ for this local. When RPYEU is run, the State Code RS record will be generated along with the Local information.
03	Local requires its own File, do not include other Local information in the File If the Local requires its own format, users should set the ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable to ‘03’ for this local. When RPYEU is run and a user selects to generate the ‘Local File format’, users must also select the specific City or County, then the Local file format will be generated. **NOTE: this feature requires specific program logic for each Local. Please check with High Line to ensure the local is supported by RPYEU.

If 'W2 State Media Filing' is defined 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 Taxing Entity Code for each local: Example:

• Ohio Cleveland would be ‘200’. Refer to Cleveland filing requirement
• Indiana would be defined with County Code provided by Indiana
  
  

School Level
The ‘School Registration’ must be defined on IDGV for each School District in order for the school tax to be reported.
When the ‘School Registration’ is defined, the IDGV Variables tab must be set up with:

• W2 STATE MEDIA FILING
• W2 TAX TYPE CODE
• W2 TAXING ENTITY
  
  

State Media for School District Filing
The ‘W2 State Media Filing’ values are:

Value	Description
00	Not Required to file magnetic media
01	Include School Code RS records in the Federal File format. If the School information is to be reported along with the Federal Code RS information, users should set the ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable to‘01’ for this local. When RPYEU is run, the State Code RS records will be generated along with the School information.
02	Include School Code RS records in the State File format. If the School information is to be reported along with the State Code RS information, users should set the ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable to ‘02’ for this local. When RPYEU is run, the State Information Code RS record will be generated along with the School information.
03	School requires its own File, do not include other Local Information in the file. If the School requires its own format, users should set the ‘W2 State Media Filing’ variable to ‘03’ for this local. *NOTE: This feature requires specific program logic for each school. Please check with High Line to ensure this local is supported by RPYEU.

When ‘W2 State Media Filing’ is defined for a School, the IDGV Variables Tab must also be set up with:

• W2 TAX TYPE CODE with E – School District Income Tax
• W2 TAXING ENTITY with the five character School District code
  
  

IDGV – Define State SUI Registrations for Quarterly Filing#

When running RPYEU with the Calendar Type defined as ‘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.

Example:
If Registration Type is defined as ‘US State Regist 1’, then:

• SUI Registration Type must be US SUI REGIST 1

If Registration Type is defined as ‘US State Regist 2’, then:

• SUI Registration Type must be US SUI REGIST 2
  
  

According to each state’s quarterly filing format, some States may require to submit Taxes Due, Previous Underpayment etc. For each quarter, users must define the IDGV Variables tab for these quarterly amounts with the proper ‘US SUI Regist’ prior to running RPYEU.

IDFD – Define Form Code#

• After loading the IDFD form codes from the starter scripts, users must set up the current year Form Code Field Variables on IDFDV for the EFW2 format.

IDFD – Starter Scripts#

When users are installing the US Year End software, a seed data script is executed to load in the current year IDFD Form Code and Seed Data.

This script can be run multiple times and performs the following:

• If the current year Form Code does not exist, the script loads all of the new identifiers
• If the current year Form Code already exists, the script will update the existing Form Code Identifiers from IDFD and leaves your organization's IDFDV set up untouched for existing Identifiers.
• If the current year Form Code Identifiers does not exist, the script will insert new identifier. Users should then set up the content on IDFDV for the new identifier.

IDFD – Store Option#

The current year IDFD Form Code provides the ‘Store Option’ starting from Seq# 2000 in order for RPYEU to store the Employer Name / Addresses, the Employee Name / Addresses and the Amounts of the Seq# in the Government Remittance Tables.
Important: Users must run RPYEU with the new IDFD Form Code or users can run 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 current year script is loaded, users can copy the IDFDV Variable definition from the last year to current year using the COPY button on IDFDV as follows:

1. On IDFDV, select last year’s Form Code
2. Press the COPY FORM DEFINITION button
3. The Copying dialog box is displayed. Enter the current year New Form Code
4. Set the 'Copy Definition with Variables' toggle to ON. This will copy the variables set up from the previous year to the current year for the same Field Identifier name.

IDFDV – Form Definition Variables#

NOTE: Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.

For California SDI reporting, there are two options to print SDI on W2 forms:

1. For California, if the IDFDV W2-SDI-TAX-EE Identifier (Seq 7260) is not zero, then Box 19 will print the employee SDI contribution and Box 20 will print the description ‘CASDI’ (This option is only available to clients who are running the W2 report in Oracle, it is not available to clients running W2 in the Windard platform).
2. For California, if the IDFDV W2-SDI-TAX-EE Identifier (Seq 7260) is not set up, Box 14 can be set up to print ‘CASDI’ and the SDI amount.

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 Magnetic Media filing is sorted and grouped by Federal Government Registration.
• After all federal information is summarized, the Federal information will be printed on the first W2 form for the employee (Box 1 to 11, Box 12's first 4 entries and Box 14's first 2 entries).
• Additional Box 12 and 14 information is printed on subsequent W2 forms for each employee. These forms will not repeat the federal information (Box 1 to 11).

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 will be summarized by State.
• This includes Box 15 to 17 and SUI quarterly information.
• After all State information is summarized, each State is printed on the W2 form and overflows onto subsequent W2 forms, 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 if the tax is generated as Work City or Residence City tax.
• This includes Box 18 to 20.
• After all Local (County/City) information is summarized, each Local is printed on the W2 form and overflows onto subsequent W2 forms, until all Locals are printed.

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; the first line to print the description and second line to print the amount. School information requires 4 lines, therefore subsequent W2 forms will be generated if more Box 14 entries (4 lines) are required.
• On each W2 form, Box 12 code allows up to four entries to be reported. Subsequent W2 forms will be generated if more entries are required.

W2 Type of Employment#

• On IDGR, the ‘W2 Employment Type’ field must be defined on the Registrations tab to qualify employees who have YTD information and belong to a Group, for each W2 Type of Employment.
  • A - Agriculture
  • F – Form 944 filer
  • H - Household
  • M - Military
  • Q – Medicare Qualified Government Employment
  • R – Regular (All others)
  • X - Railroad
• Users must run RPYEU for each W2 Type of Employment. Example: Run RPYEU for 'Regular' employment, then run RPYEU for 'Agriculture' employment.
• 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’.
• Employees can work for multiple ‘Types of Employment’ during a year. Example: An employee is a ‘Regular Employment’ employee during the year and also works for ‘Agriculture Employment’ during the summer. In this case, the Agriculture Employment requires to report earnings on Form 943 and the Agriculture earnings should be separate from the Regular employment reporting on the W2. Users should set up a different group for Agriculture and the employees should be paid and reported under the Agriculture group.
• When RPYEU is run, the employee will be automatically reported under the proper ‘W2 Type of Employment’ from IDGR.
• For Medicare Qualified Government Employees, users do not need to define a specific Group with ‘W2 Type of Employment’ as ‘Q’ in order for the employees to be reported with ‘Q’ type employment. Employees are classified as MQGE by the FICA and Medicare tax method on IPRLU.
• If the IPRLU FICA method is defined as ‘Do not Calculate’ and the Medicare method is defined, the employee is qualified as an MQGE employee and will be reported under ‘W2 Type of Employment’ ‘Q’ regardless of which group the employee belongs to.
• When RPYEU is run, if the 'W2 Type of Employment' selected is 'R', the employee will still be reported under Q depending on the FICA and MEDICARE tax method (defined on IPRLU).

Government Media File Name#

• When RPYEU is run, users can select to generate a magnetic media file
• Users must define a valid directory name and a magnetic media file name, such as W2_2021.txt)
• Users can also attach the RPYEU Execution ID to the file name by defining the word ‘Mex’ in the file name, such as W2_2021_mex.txt. This will generate a magnetic media file W2_2021_67109.txt for Execution ID 67109

Example: W2_mex_ohio.txt will generate a magnetic media file W2_67109_ohio.txt for Execution ID 67109

XML File#

• When RPYEU is run, users MUST define a valid File Directory name in order for the XML file to be generated.
• The XML file contains all employee information to be read by RPW2 (the Oracle W2 Form Print program).
• RPYEU attaches the ‘.xml’ extension to the defined Media File name for the XML file.

Examples:

• Media File Name: W2_2021_mex.txt
  XML File Name: W2_2021_mex.xml
  
  
• Media File Name: W2_2021_mex
  XML File Name: W2_2021_mex.xml
  
  
• After RPYEU is run, users can use Notepad or a PFE editor to review the XML file content.
• Users should Double click on the .xml file to open the XML file using an xml editor.
• Users can archive this XML file for historical reporting purposes or to reprint the W2s.

RPYEU Trace and Data Dump File#

• Users should always run RPYEU with the Trace Level set to 'Exceptions only’ for all employees
• If there is problem in RPYEU and a user needs to determine which employee has the problem, the user should run RPYEU with the Trace Level set to ‘Program Trace'. This will print a list of processed employees in order to determine which employee has the problem.
• When the Trace Level is set to ‘Program Trace’, the SQL SELECT Statements for Federal, State and Local levels are also written as Trace messages. Users can review the select statement by running RMEX for the RPYEU Execution ID.
• 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, users should run RPYEU for one employee with the Trace Level set to ‘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 users can open the file in Excel for investigation. The dynamic SQL SELECT statement is written to ‘_select.txt’ file
• When the ‘Create Data Dump’ toggle is set to YES, RPYEU will generate data dump files with a .csv extension for any available Federal, State, Local and School information. Users can open these data dump files in Excel for debugging and balancing purposes. Example: When Mex ID 750234 is run with trace and data dump and following files are generated:
  • rpyeu_w2_750234.txt - Magnetic media file to be sent to the government
  • rpyeu_w2_750234.xml - xml file to be read by RPW2 (Oracle Version Only) to print the W2 forms
  • rpyeu_w2_750234_select.txt - SQL SELECT statement, can be used in SQL+
  • rpyeu_w2_750234_trace.csv - Trace file for debugging
  • rpyeu_w2_750234_fed.csv - Federal data dump file for debugging or balancing
  • rpyeu_w2_750234_state.csv - State data dump file for debugging or balancing
  • rpyeu_w2_750234_local.csv - Local data dump file for debugging or balancing
  • rpyeu_w2_750234_school.csv - School data dump file for debugging or balancing
• If RPYEU is not run in Trace mode, then only the first two files are generated:
  • rpyeu_w2_150277.txt - Magnetic media file to be sent to the government
  • rpyeu_w2_150277.xml - xml file to be read by RPW2 (Oracle Version Only) to print the W2 forms

Government Media File – Code RW, RS when Select by State#

• When RPYEU is run with no specific State selected, the Federal magnetic media file and Code RW records will be generated.
• When RPYEU is run with one State selected, only the specific State records is processed, therefore Code RW records will not be generated.

Code RS records will be generated according the State government requirements and the W2 State Media Filing’ defined on IDGV Variables tab.

Exclude Employees#

• Users can exclude certain employees from W2 reporting by setting up 'W2-EXCLUDE-EE’ Identifier on IDFDV
• If the value of the 'W2-EXCLUDE-EE’ identifier is defined as ‘Y’, the employee is bypassed.
  Example: If a user does not want to report employees whose Assignment Title is ‘Election Worker’ or ‘Self Employed’, set up the ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’ Identifier with the following:
  • Field variable = EASD.ASSIGNMENT_TITLE
  • Derivation Expression = decode(UPPER(~),’ELECTION WORKER','Y',‘SELF EMPLOYED’,'Y','N')
    Note: Use UPPER(~) to convert an alphanumeric field to compare all upper case letters.
• If a user has a complex situation to exclude an employee, a STAT CODE can be used to indicate that the employee should be excluded.
  Example: An employee is excluded when they work in certain groups, or with certain hours. Users can keep track of this setting the 'STAT CODE' value to 1.00.

Then the ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’ Identifier on IDFDV should be set up with:

• Field Source = Statistics
• Field variable = the STAT CODE that is used to exclude employee

Election Workers#

Election workers earnings should be reported on the W2 if:

• The earnings are less than $600 and the Social Security and Medicare taxes are withheld

Election workers earnings should NOT be reported on the W2 if:

• The earnings are less than $600 and the Social Security and Medicare taxes are NOT withheld

Users can manage this reporting as follows:

1. Use a separate pay component to record the Election worker earnings. If FICA and Medicare are not calculated for these earnings, users can exclude the election worker earnings by not defining the pay component in the element for each W2 Box.
2. If the employee is paid with election earnings and FICA and Medicare tax are withheld, users should determine if the employee should be excluded or not. If an employee is excluded, users can set up a 'STAT CODE' for the ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’ Identifier on IDFDV, to exclude the employee from reporting on the W2 form.
3. Users can exclude All Election workers by setting the EASD.ASSIGNMENT_TITLE to‘ELECTION WORKER’, then setting the ‘W2-EXCLUDE-EE’ Identifier to EASD.ASSIGNMENT_TITLE.

Reissued / Corrected W2 Form#

If an employee loses their W2 Form, organizations can reissue the W2 Form by running RPW2 and selecting the specific employee.

For RPW2W4C/RPW2W4TB (Windward versions), users must select the GVT Run number that the employee belongs to when RPYEU is run.

1. Re-run RPYEU to generate a new GVT Run number for the specific employee, OR
2. Use the existing GVT Run number that the employee's W2 was original issued for.
   
   

When any W2 Print Program is run, users should enter the word ‘REISSUED’ or ‘CORRECTED’ in the ‘Reissued/Corrected field’, so the W2 form will be printed with the defined word.

Void W2 Form#

• If an error is discovered on the W2 forms and the Forms have not be distributed to the employees, users should fix the error(s) and re-run RPYEU and the W2 Print Program(s).
• If an error is discovered on the W2 forms nd the Forms have be distributed to the employees, users must manually correct the W2 Forms by completing Form W2-C for corrections. High Line does not support the W2-C form.

The incorrect W2 should still be filed to the government. High Line does not support the VOID box on the W2 Form to indicate an error.

RPYEU Registration Set Up Audit#

When RPYEU is run, users have the option to audit and fix the government registrations set up on IDGV. Users can define the following the Regist/Set Up Audit field to:

Option	Description
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 option is used when a user just wants to verify all of the government registration set up prior to running RPYEU. This option allows exception messages to be printed.
02	Print and run. After the Government Registration is audited, print all registrations and continue to run RPYEU. This should be the default so users can verify all of the 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 and continue to run RPYEU. This option allows exception messages to be printed.

This field is validated from the ‘X_PRINT_AND_RUN’ lexicon.

RPYEU Exception Messages#

Negative (credit) amounts are never allowed for W2 reporting. If negative amounts are encountered, an exception message is printed. Users must resolve the negative amount and the re-run the report until no exceptions are found.

The following set up exception messages are highlighted if one of the ‘Regist/Set Up Audit field' are defined that allows exception messages to be printed (Options 01, 02 and 03 only):

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 or 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
Warning	IDFDV Identifier Name contains CONSTANT

The following exception messages are always printed for an employee:

Code	Message
Empl nnn	Invalid SSN: ssn, SSN must be 11 positions, position 4 and 7 must be a hyphen (-). Users must verify and correct The SSN number, otherwise W2 form and Magnetic media filing will be incorrect for the employee
Empl nnn	Term date YYYYMMDD is prior to reporting year YYYY. This is a warning that indicates the employee has been terminated in a prior year, but 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. Users must correct either the Box 3 or Box 7 set up. 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 changed to 0.00. Uses must review this error and correct the negative amount, otherwise the system will report zero for this field.
Empl nnn	Identifier Amt 999999.9999 exceeds 2 decimals, amount changed to 999999.99. This can cause a rounding error. Users should be review the error to find out why the amount exceeds 2 decimals and correct the data.
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. Users should review the printing of W2 for this field and the government file 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 on the file Users MUST correct this error because the report will show ####### in the field and the government will reject the file. Users should not correct the ####### to zero in the file. This will result in incorrect reporting for the W2, between the W2 form print and the W2 file. The W2 form may be large enough to print the field size while the magnetic media reporting could not report this large amount. Users must find out if incorrect data is the cause of the problem, or contact High Line for support.

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 employees 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.

Users can suppress the printing of ‘Set Up Exceptions’ for IDFDV, IDGV, etc., however, the employee level of exception are always printed, to show error or warning messages for an employee.

RPYEU Trace Level#

Users should always run RPYEU with the Tracel Level set to 'Exceptions Only' for all employees.

If there is problem in RPYEU, users should run RPYEU with the Trace Level set to Program Trace. This will print a list of processed employees to determine which employee has the problem.

When the Trace Level is set to Program Trace, the Select Statements for Federal, State and Local levels are also written as Trace messages. Users can review the Select statements by running RMEX for the RPYEU Execution ID.

After determining which employee has the problem, users should run RPYEU for the specific employee with the Trace Level set to Utility Trace to review and determine the problem in detail.

RPYEU Sort Levels#

There are three options to sort employees in RPYEU for distribution of the W2 Forms:

1. Sort Level By
The lexicon X_W2_SORT_LEVEL is used for this prompt.

• Department is the prime assignment details’ department that is effective as of the defined ‘As of date’.
• Users can define a special ‘W2 Destination’ at the department level or the employee level for W2 distribution purposes.
• Users can also define to ‘Provide Sort Level Totals’ by defining a ‘Sort Level By’ level

Options are:

• 00-Not Applicable
• 01-Department
• 02-Dept W2 Destination
• 03-Dept SUI ER Number
• 04-Pay Dest (EASD)
• 05-Location (EASD)
• 06-W2 Destination (EID)

2. Sort by Active/Inactive
This prompt is useful for sorting Terminated employees from Active employees for distribution purposes.
The lexicon X_W2_SORT_ACTIVE is used for this prompt.
The options are:

• 00-Do not sort active/inactive. Terminated employees will not be sorted before active employees
• 01-Before Sort Level. Terminiated employees will be sorted before the defined 'Sort Level By' field (above). Example: All Inactive employees are group together, by Department (Sort Level), followed by Active employees.
• 02-After Sort Level. Terminiated employees will be sorted after the defined 'Sort Level By' field (above). Example: All inactive employees are grouped together, within each department (Sort Level), followed by Active Employees in the same department.

Example for 01-Before Sort Level
Department A has 2 terminated employees (A1, A2) and 3 active employees (A3, A4, A5)
Department B has 2 terminated employees (B1, B3) and 3 active employees (B3, B4, B5)

RPYEU will sort 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), followed by all Active employees.

Example for 02-After Sort Level
Department A has 2 terminated employees (A1, A2) and 3 active employees (A3, A4, A5)
Department B has 2 terminated employees (B1, B3) and 3 active employees (B3, B4, B5)

RPYEU will sort 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), followed by all Active employees in the same department.

3. Sort Employees By
The lexicon X_W2_SORT_PERSON is used for this prompt.
This prompt will sort within the ‘Sort Level By’ and ‘Sort by Active / Inactive’ fields. The options are:

• 01-Person Code
• 02-Last Name/First Name
• 03-Destin/Last/First
• 04-Dept/Last/First
• 05-Mailing Zip/Last/First
• 06-Primary Zip/Last/First

RPYEU Sort by Zip – Mailing W2 at discount rate#

For organizations who are mailing a large volume of the W2 forms to their employees, arrangements can be made with the US Post Office to mail the W2 forms at a discounted postal rate if the W2 forms are sorted by ZIP code.

To mail W2 forms at a discounted rate, when RPYEU is run, users should select to Sort Employees By:

• Mailing ZIP/Last/First name (recommended)
• Primary ZIP/Last/First name

If the IEPI Mailing Address does not exist, the IEPI Primary Address will be used.

The RPYEU report prints the employees by ZIP code sequence and prints the ZIP codes on the Employee’s line.

The RPW2 (Oracle Version only) print program reads from the xml file and prints records in the sequence as sorted by RPYEU. If the RPW2W4C/RPW2W4TB (Windward Version only) print program is used, the print program reads the IPGH ID Sequence that has been sorted by the RPYEU process.

NOTE: When using the option to sort by ZIP code, the employees are sorted in ZIP order and not by Last/First name or Person code sequence. This can make it difficult to locate a specific employee.

For auditing and balancing purposes, it is recommended that RPYEU should be run with the Sort Employee By parameter set to either Person Code or Dept/Last/First. This will generate the government file, to balance to the RPREGT, and submit to the government.

Prior to printing the W2 forms through the W2 Print Form programs, users should re-run the RPYEU with the Sort Employee By parameter set to either Mailing ZIP/Last/First or Primary ZIP/Last/First to generate the xml file to sort by ZIP code. Users should also verify that this RPYEU run report balances to the RPYEU report from the prior run, to ensure the totals match. Users can then run W2 Print Form programs to print the W2 forms.

After the W2 Print Form program is run, users should save the RPYEU xml file for backup or auditing purposes. If a user needs to reference the order of W2 printing, users can re-run RPYEU with the Sort Employee By parameter set to either Person Code or Dept/Last/First to generate the government file sequence to be kept on the IPGR / IPGH form for balancing to the government file.

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 the ‘W2 Employment Type’ parameter on IDGR or from the employee’s FICA and Medicare method defined on IPRLU.

• All employees with the same Employment Code are grouped together under one Code RE record.
• If IPRLU FICA method is set to ‘Do not calculate’ and the MEDICARE method is NOT set to ‘Do not calculate’, the employee is classified as 'W2 Employment Type Q’ for W2 reporting.

Otherwise, the W2 Type of Employment is derived from the ‘W2 Employment Type’ field on IDGR.

• The EFW2 Federal Filing requires Code RE records to be reported by 'Type of Employment', however, some States filing do not require to separate employees by the Type of Employment, therefore, the 'Combine Employment Types' field on RPYEU is used.
  
• Typically, this field is set to NO for most RPYEU file reporting, however, if a State filing does not require to file by Types of Employment, users can set this field to YES to combine all Types of Employment under one Code RE record.
• If your organization has only ‘Regular’ types of employment, users should set this field to NO all the time.

W2 Form Control Number Print#

On the W2 Form, 2-on-1-page, Box D, users can print the Control Number on the form for reference or distribution purpose, such as a Person Code. Users must set up the following Identifiers on the IDFDV form:

Seq 2800 W2-CONTROL-PRT
Print Control Number on Form
Form Code: Use current year's form code
Identifier: W2-CONTROL-PRINT
Level: Federal
O/R: CONTROL NUM PRT
Source: Constant
Field Variable Options:

• 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’ field
• 3 - Print W2-CONTROL-NUM Identifier and Person Code
• 4 - Print ‘Sort Level By’ field and Person Code
• 5 - Print ‘Sort Level By’ field and W2-CONTROL-NUM Identifier
• 6 - Print ‘Sort Level By’ field, the W2-CONTROL-NUM Identifier and Person Code
  

Seq 2810 W2-CONTROL-NUM
Control Number on Form
Form Code: Use current year's form code
Identifier: W2-CONTROL-NUM
Level: Federal
O/R: CONTROL NUMBER
Source: Data Base Column
Field Vaiable Option: Enter your company data, such as 'EID.PERSON_CODE’, or ‘DLN.LOCALITY’, or ‘PPA.PAYROLL_CODE’ etc.

If Seq # 2810 W2-CONTROL-NUM defines a data base column, such as PPA.PAYROLL_CODE, and:

• within the reporting year the employee has been paid by more than one entry of this database column (employee is paid under 2 Payroll Codes), and
• 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.

Example:
Employee is paid by PAYROLL_CODE: US CENTRAL BW
Employee is also paid by PAYROLL_CODE: US WEST BW

Then ‘US WEST BW’ code will be printed.

Submitting W-2 Copy A to SSA (EFW2 Format)#

The EFW2 Format is used for Annual and Quarterly Reporting.
