Reviewing Additional Year-End Audit Reports

In addition to audit reports that you run from the DREAM Writer, there are a variety of other year-end audit reports you can run to verify the amounts in your system.

Use the menu selections on the W-2 Reports & Forms Setup (G072473) or Additional Year-End Reports and Forms (G072474) menus to set up the DREAM Writer versions for the reports. Execute the reports from the Year End Processing menu (G07247), and choose Forms.

Reviewing the Tax History/W-2 Workfile Integrity Report (P06790)

Once you build and balance the workfiles, there can be occasions when you need to modify employee history because of late corrections. Modifications might include manual or void checks that you did not process promptly or DBA's which were previously unidentified. When you process these items through the standard payroll cycle or update them directly into the history, the integrity report creates a variance. The main purpose of this integrity report is to identify employees with variance amounts so you can correct the information, by running a Changes Only workfile, before printing year end forms.

The Tax History/W-2 Workfile Integrity Report lists any variances by employee when comparing the actual W-2 forms to the payroll history tables. The EC (Error Code) column identifies the error numbers that appear on the error table at the end of the report. This table lists which integrity test the system performs to identify the variance.

This report displays variances between the following history files and the W-2/1099 Workfile build files:

  • Taxation Summary History (F06136)

  • Transaction Summary History (F06146)

  • Tax Area Transaction History (F06148)

  • Employee Federal Control Record (F06730)

  • Employee State/Local Control Record (F06731)

  • Employee Special Handling Control Record (F06732)

The report includes the following fields and descriptions:

  • Tax Area, Tax Type, Description of the Problem

  • History Type, History Amounts and Taxes

  • Workfile Amounts and Taxes

  • Variance Amounts and Taxes

  • Error Code (EC)

The EC column prints a numeric error code (01-06) that identifies which history files and W-2 workfiles contain errors.

Following are the error codes for this report:

  • 01 = Tax History Taxable Wage VS. W-2 Workfile (Federal)

    When this error occurs, the program locates a variance between the Federal Taxation History (F06136) and the W-2 Employee Federal Control Record (F6730) files. This error can occur on each of the employee's Federal tax records and on each company in which the employee worked. This variance is for only Federal Taxes Areas and Tax Types.

  • 02 = Tax History Taxable Wage VS. W-2 Workfile (State/Local)

    When this error occurs, the program locates a variance between the State and Local Taxation History (F06136) and the Employee State/Local Control Record (F06731) files. This error can occur on each State record and on each company in which the employee worked. This variance is for only Tax Areas and Tax Types.

  • 03 = Transaction Summary VS. W-2 Workfile (Federal)

    When this error occurs, the program locates a variance between the total Transaction History file (F06146) and the PDBA's in the Special Handling Tables that create the Employee Federal Control Record file (F06730). This error can occur on the following forms and boxes:

    • W-2 Forms:

      • Box 11 - Non-qualified Plans

      • Box 10 - Dependent Child Care

      • Box 12 - Benefits included in Box 1

    • Magnetic Media (W-2)

      • Fringe Benefit Amounts

      • Deferred Compensation

      • Non-Qualified Non 457 Amounts

      • Dependent Child Care

      • Group Term Life

    • 1099-R Forms

      • Non-Qualified Plan Income

      • Gross Distributions

      • Employee Contributions

    • 1099-Misc Forms

      • Rents

      • Royalties

      • Prizes and Awards

      • Non-Employee Compensations

      • Medical and Health

      • Substitute Payments

    • 1099-NEC Forms

      • Non-Employee Compensations

    • 499R-2 Forms

      • Commissions

      • Concessions

      • Reimbursed Expenses

      • Retirement Funds

      • CODA Plans

    If the total of the PDBA's in a Special Handling table does not match the grand total in the field, the program issues an error.

  • 04 = Transaction Summary VS. W-2 Special Handling Workfile

    When this error occurs, the program locates a variance between the Transaction History file (F06146) defined in a Special Handling Table and the Employee Special Handling Control Record file (F06732). This error can occur when you enter Special Handling Table codes for the W-2 form, in the following boxes:

    • Box 13 - Statutory employee, Retirement plan, Third-party sick pay

    • Box 14 - Other

    The program is comparing each Special Handling record to a related Transaction History record. Because each DBA in the Special Handling Table must be handled separately, the program performs the comparison on a record by record basis. If a variance exists, the program issues an error.

  • 05 = Tax Area Trans. History VS. W-2 Special Handling Workfile

    When this error occurs, the program locates a variance between the Tax Area Transaction History file (F06148) and the PDBA's defined in a Special Handling Table that create the Employee Special Handling Control Record file (F06732). The only time this error occurs is when you enter Special Handling Table codes for any of following boxes on the W-2 form:

    • Box 17 - State Wages, tips, etc.

    • Box 20 - Local wages, tips, etc.

    The program is comparing each Special Handling record to the related Tax Area Transaction History record. Because each DBA in the Special Handling Table must be handled separately, the program performs the comparison on a record by record basis.

  • 06 = Arreared Payroll Taxes VS. W-2 Special Handling Workfile

    When this error occurs, the program locates a variance between the Federal Taxation History (F06136) and the Employee Special Handling Control Record files (F06732). This error identifies variances when it encounters an arrearage in FICA and Medicare taxes and the system creates unique Special Handling records to accommodate the following codes in Box 13:

    • A - Uncollected FICA on Tipped Employees

    • B - Uncollected MEDICARE on Tipped Employees

    • M - Uncollected FICA on Group Term Life

    • N - Uncollected MEDICARE on Group Term Life

      Note:

      The only time that an A or B Special Handling can occur is when the employee is defined as a Tipped Employee in the Basic Employee Data. If the program finds FICA or Medicare taxes in arrears on a non-tipped employee, the Special Handling record creates codes M and N to note the uncollected taxes.

      The program is comparing each Special Handling record to the related Tax History record.
