Running the 1099-R forms

You must run 1099-R Form Reporting (PR250) to

  • generate a trial run of 1099-R forms to review for errors and correct those errors, and

  • generate the final 1099-R forms and submit a file to a third party for printing.

Do not change the parameters on Year End Parameters (PR27.1) after you run 1099-R Form Reporting (PR250) and before you run 1099-R File Creation (PR251).

Before you process your 1099-R forms, it is recommended that you run Year-End Parameter Report (PR227) to verify the parameters that Payroll will use to process 1099-Rs.

Note: If PR250 is populated from a previous run, clear all the fields on the form.
