District of Columbia Annual and Quarterly Reporting#

What's New for Tax Year 2011#

The following changes have been noted for reporting W2 wages to the Federal Government:

• (W2 Form) The ‘Advance Earned Income Credit Payment’ is eliminated for tax year beginning after December 31, 2010. Box 9, Advance EIC payments, has been deleted from the 2011 Form W2.
• (W2 Form) Code DD is added to box 12 of the 2011 form W2 to report the cost of employer-sponsored health coverage. However, this reporting will not be mandatory for 2011.
• (W2 Form) Code EE, Designated Roth contributions under a government section 457(b) plan, has been added to the list of codes in box 12 of Form W2.
• (W2 File) A new field, Kind of Employer, has been added to the RE Employer Record (position 174). This is a required field.
• (W2 File) 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).
• (W2 File) 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)

Note that while DC has indicated that it will migrate to the ICESA file format for UI reporting in the future, we continue to support the UI wage reporting for the District of Columbia in the special DC-80 byte file format until further notice.
