Printing Dates

After you review audit reports for accuracy, you can print year-end forms. Before submitting the forms for printing, you can enter a print date so that each employee record for which a form is printed is updated with the print date. If an employee record contains a print date and you need to make changes to the employee's year-end information, you must reset the print date to generate another W-2 form. If you do not reset the print date, you must generate a W-2C form for the employee.

Note: The Employer 4-part W-2 Print program (R07885A) does not use a print date. Therefore, it is not necessary to clear the print date in order to rerun this print program.

Note: To generate W-2C forms, you must first print year-end forms with a print date. If this printing is not the last time that you will print the year-end forms, do not enter a print date.
