Define local EFW2 reporting topic

When EFW2 File Creation (PR299) is run with parameters defined on the Local tab, it will use the data items defined for the corresponding state or local Tax Authority WL topic to create a basic local file to be used as a basis for local W-2 reporting.

Specify this information:

Active/Inactive

Select an active or inactive status for the basic local file.

EFW2 File Creation (PR299) will only create output files for locals that have an active status.

This field is required.

Local File Name

Specify a file name for the local file.

EFW2 File Creation (PR299) will use the local file name specified here as the output file name.

This field is required.

Local State

Specify the state for the local authority.

This field is required.

Local Tax Category

Specify the Tax Category for the Tax Authority. This is found on the local tax Deduction Code (PR05) Taxes tab. If left blank, then the application will create a local tax file for tax category "01".

Note: PR299 can only be run to create one local EFW2 file per tax authority at a time. If a Tax Authority has multiple local taxes (identified by different Tax Category values), then specify the data in PR27.2 for the first Tax Category. Run the first PR299 to create the first local file. Then update the data in PR27.2 for the second Tax Category, and run a second PR299 to create the second local file.
