Reviewing W-2 IRS-Defined Codes

Before you begin year-end processing, verify that the information that you want to print on year-end forms is set up correctly. To verify this information, review the W-2 IRS-defined codes and make any necessary changes or additions.

Use the Year-End Special Handling Codes table (07/S2) to maintain W-2 IRS-defined codes.

Use codes A through Z (excluding codes I, O, Q, and U), in box 12 of the W-2 form. The IRS defines these codes. You should not change them.
