Resident State as Base State

On the W-2 that shows tax information about the state in which the employee currently resides, set the resident state as the base state. The system uses the resident tax area code in the F060116 as the employee's resident state code.

When you build the W-2/1099 workfile, select the Resident State Equals Base State option on the Year-End Revisions form.

Note: If the employee has no wages earned or taxes deducted in the resident tax area, the system uses the tax area for the record with the highest-numbered GeoCode in which the employee earned state wages during the tax year. This record is the last record in the W-2 workfile for the employee.
