This filter option is available for Reconciliation, W-2, 1099, and 1095-C form types. You can choose either Processed or Not processed from the drop-down list. If you do not select an option here, the Form Selection grid displays all payroll forms (both processed and unprocessed) that meet the criteria specified in the other filter option fields.
Notes
- The application displays the status (Processed and Not processed) of forms in the Status column of the Form Selection grid. A Processed status also includes a processing date in that column.
- To reset the status from Processed to Not processed, select the form in the grid and then click the Process Selected button. In the Print dialog, mark the Mark all as not processed checkbox, and then click OK.
Use the Status filter to see which payroll tax forms have been processed and which ones still need to be processed, so you can easily monitor the progress being made for payroll tax processing for the selected period.
This filter option is available only for W-2 form types with a status of Not processed. You can use this filter to display and process only the W-2 form information that has already been verified in the Verify W-2s screen.
This filter option applies only to unprocessed reconciliation forms (so it will display only if you select Reconciliation as the form type and Not processed as the status.) You can choose either Processed or Not processed from the drop-down list.
Use this filter in conjunction with the Status filter to see which payroll tax forms still need liability adjustments processed and which are ready to process.
Example 1
To show only the clients' forms for whom you have not yet gone through the liability adjustment process, select Not processed in the Status filter and Not processed in the Liability adjustments filter.
Example 2
To show only those forms that are ready for processing, select Not processed in the Status filter and Processed in the Liability adjustments filter.
You can choose to display only forms that apply to a specific jurisdiction, such as federal forms or forms for a specific state. When you choose an option from the drop-down list, the application displays the Form drop-down list so that you can choose a specific form.
This filter option applies only to W-2 forms and displays when a selection is made in the Jurisdiction drop-down list. In addition, the position of the Employee Copy filter depends on which jurisdiction is selected.
- When Federal is selected in the Jurisdiction filter and Copy A/W-3 is selected in the Form drop-down list, the application displays an Employee Copy drop-down list from which you can select either Processed or Not processed.
- When a state is selected in the Jurisdiction filter, the application displays an Employee Copy drop-down list from which you can select either Processed or Not processed.
Use the Employee Copy filter in conjunction with the Status and Jurisdiction filters to easily see which W-2 Copy A/W-3 or state W-2 forms are ready to be filed.
Example
To show only those clients' Copy A and W-3 forms that have had their Employee Copy processed, select Not processed in the Status filter, Federal in the Jurisdiction filter, Copy A/W-3 in the Form filter, and Processed in the Employee Copy filter.
This filter option applies only to 1099 forms and displays when Federal is selected in the Jurisdiction filter field and Copy A/1096 is selected in the Form drop-down list. You can choose either Processed or Not processed from the Recipient copy drop-down list.
Use the Recipient copy filter in conjunction with the Status and Jurisdiction filter to see which 1099 Copy A/1096 or Copy 1 forms are ready to be filed.
Example
To show only those clients' Copy A and 1096 copies that have had their Copy B, Copy, Copy 2, and/or Copy B/2 (recipient copies) processed, select Not processed in the Status filter, Federal in the Jurisdiction filter, Copy A/1096 in the Form filter, and Processed in the Recipient copy filter.
