General tips

Here are some additional tips to keep in mind as you are processing payroll tax forms.

  • When it is required for magnetic media files, you can view and/or print a Transmittal Worksheet from the Manage Files dialog, available from the Actions > Process Internet/Magnetic Files screen.
  • The payroll tax forms available for a client can vary depending on the client's deposit schedule, employer type, and whether or not they have been specified in the application as a reimbursable employer.
  • Verify that the Do Not File checkbox is cleared in the Payroll Taxes tab of the Clients screen for any payroll tax forms required for your client.
  • State W-2 transmittal forms are processed along with W-2 forms, allowing the Copy 1 to be printed at the same time.
