Workfile Build

My organization consists of two companies. I do not want to process both companies in the same workfile build. Do I need to run them separately?

Yes. Create two year-end IDs and process each company separately. You can use the Copy function to simplify the tasks of duplicating special handling information and the reports model from the first year-end ID.

Is the control number on the W-2 assigned automatically? Does the system assign a new control number each time that I rebuild the workfile?

Yes. It is retrieved from the Next Numbers for system 07.

The amounts that print in Box 1 of my W-2 forms are double what my employees' federal wages should be. What am I doing wrong?

Taxable wages automatically print in wage boxes on the W-2, so you should not include any taxable wages in special handling for box 1.

Can I print my W-2s in state order?

Yes. When you build the workfile, request one state per W2. You will need to change the sequencing of print forms for the state order.

There are no reports available in my reports model. How do I run my year-end reports?

You need to run the R07823S report to populate the year-end reports model.
