IV.  Payroll: Printing W2s

Verify W2 Information

Check Earning/Deduction Table File (CTF 10, 3) to Ensure that All items have the correct tax status:

In the Earning/Deduction table file a "Y" = indicates that the particular tax applies.

A rule-of-thumb as to which Earning/Deduction effects taxes is as follows:

Earnings - All Taxes (all "Y"s)
Deductions - No Taxes (all "N"s)
Qualified Plan - All Taxes ("Y"s) except FICA ("N")

Check Earning/Deduction Table File to Ensure that Code 61 exists for 3rd Party Pay.

Check with your accountant if any fringe benefits or deferred compensation amounts are applicable to your facility. If they are - then make sure that an entry for this item exists in the Earning/Deduction Table File so that the W2's are correct. These amounts should be entered in the 2000 payroll prior to printing the W2's and Quarterly reports.

If your Facility has any of the following pension plans then you must check the Earning/Deduction Payroll Table Files to ensure that:

1) A "Y" has been entered for Deferred Compensation 2) The correct code was entered in the field Box 17 for W2
Code Pension Plan


   04 401 (k)
   05 403(b)
   06 408(k)
   07 section 457 plan
   08 501 (c) (1 8) (D)
   12 other non qualified plan

3) SUTA/FUTA N N

4) Tax Status Y N Y Y Y Y

Check Employee Master File for Correct:

a) Social Security number (no blanks or all zeroes)
b) Marital Status
c) Number of exemptions

You can print the above by running the Employee Master Report Generator [GM,10,9,4] with fields:

8   (Soc-Sec-No)
10 (Martial Status)
58 (Fed exempt)
59 (State exempt) 60 (City exempt)

From any CHARTS menu type EMGEN and press ENTER.

Complete line 3 as shown below and press ENTER.
