Workfile Build

Workfile Build

Description

When I try to run the workfile build from the DREAM Writer list, the process aborts. Nothing on the job log indicates why.

Run the workfile build from the Year-End Processing menu, not the DREAM Writer list.

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. From the Build W-2/1099 Workfiles screen, choose Additional Parameters - Home Company (F5) to select each company.

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 add them in again.

I want to print my W-2 forms in state order. Can I do this?

Yes. When you build the workfile, request one state and one locality per W-2.
