CP-3373,CP-3608,CP-3501,CP-3502 - US Customers - 2014 W2 Changes (v753, v760, v761, v770)
CF-3373: W2 Print and New W2 must allow for more than two states
We currently have the ability to add one alternate state ID to our W2s, but need to add a second. We need to process for PA, MD, and NJ this year.
Solution: A new Alt State File Maintenance process has been introduced to allow processing more than 2 Alt States in W2 Print. The Main State file (ST8W2S) will now contain only Employees from the Home State
CF-3608: New W2 Edit Checks
Returned wage reports from the Social Security Ad-ministration (SSA). Effective January 2015, the SSA will return Form W-2 electronic and paper wage reports under the following conditions:
Medicare wages and tips are less than the sum of social security wages and social security tips, Social security tax is greater than zero; social security wages and social security tips are equal to zero, and Medicare tax is greater than zero; Medicare wages and tips are equal to zero.
Solution: An Exception Report will be created at the end of the W2 Print Process to report the above Exceptions.
CF-3501: Increase Alt State ID from 13 bytes to 15 bytes
From Waukegan: I am trying to do a trial run on our W2?s and I noticed that in the Alt State & ID fields I do not have enough entry to add the complete ID number. Is there a way that I can add 2 more digits in the ID field? Currently it?s allowing me to enter 13 digits.
Solution: The system now allows to process a 15 byte Alt State ID
