Running reports for negative wages

Before you create your W-2 forms or electronic file, run W-2 Form Printing (PR297) or US Territory W-2 Form Printing (PR252) for negative wages. If you have any employees who have negative wages, you must correct the wages before you print the forms. Reconciling year-end data

PR297 and PR252 do not create a W-2 form or electronic file for employees with negative data. These employees print on the Error report with the message, "No W-2 created, negative data exists," and appear on the Detail and Summary Edit reports and the Negative Wage report.
