Printing Information in Boxes 12 and 13

Description

Is there any way to print a longer description on 401(k) for Box 12?

No. The IRS requires that only the A through W codes be printed. The back of the W-2 describes what these codes mean for the employee.

How can I get the retirement plan box marked on the W-2?

On the Dates, Eligibility and EEO screen, enter Y in the Pension Code field.
