Update Income Statement Beg Bal (PR299)

Run EFW2 File Creation (PR299) to create an EFW2 file of W-2 information for government reporting. You must receive a PIN number from the federal government to submit a Federal EFW2 file. A PIN number is not required for state EFW2 files.

For address formatting, reference the regulatory address in Company (HR00.1). The first two address lines in Company (HR00), Process Level (HR01), and Employee (HR11) are referenced by EFW2 File Creation (PR299) for the location addresses and delivery addresses in RA, RE, RW, and RS records of the EFW2 file.

For EFW2 specifications, refer to your Social Security Administration Publication for the appropriate year.

Consult your data processing department before running this program to insure the appropriate parameters are entered.

Note: Lawson strongly recommends that you run PR227 to review the parameters set up on PR27.1 and PR27.2 before you run the EFW2 using this option.

Before you submit your file, you can validate it using the AccuWage program. This program can be downloaded from the Social Security Administration website. This program checks the output from PR299 for common errors. For more information, check the Social Security Administration website.
