Payroll Year End

Being prepared for year-end in payroll will make your New Year less stressful.  Inevitably, a few clients will call and ask how to print their W-2 forms after they’ve done Payroll Year-End Processing.  It’s important to know once you’ve done year-end processing in Payroll, there is no way to get the W-2’s to print out of the system.  You must print your W-2’s after the last payroll for 2003 and before you do year-end and the first payroll for 2004.

     Year-end processing clears the data stored in the W-2 file.  Once this data is purged, you cannot get the data back and will have to calculate W-2’s manually.  Allow yourself enough time to print out your W-2’s before you do the first payroll for 2004.

     Also, some people are not sure what forms they should buy.  You can buy any W-2 form from an office supply store.  MAS 90/200 form layout can be altered to match the form you purchase.

     As always, if you have any questions about printing your W-2’s, give us a call at 800.613.6350.
