Edit Forms W-2 screen (U.S.)
Use the Edit Forms W-2 screen to verify the accuracy of the information on your Forms W-2 and modify the information as needed. This form is only applicable to U.S. companies.
There are a few reasons that you might want to modify this information, including:
- You don't have complete payroll data entered for the tax year because it was your first year using ProContractor and you didn't load your initial balances.
- You haven't properly set up all of the needed payroll fringes and deductions in ProContractor.
- Some of the data is based on the Employee record from the last payroll of the year, so if there were any changes during the year, it's possible some of the information could be incorrect.
- Additional earnings need to be added for tax reporting purposes.
To open the Edit Forms W-2 screen, go to .
Important: If you use Aatrix W-2 report filing, Aatrix provides the option to review and edit information before filing reports. Certain edits to Forms W-2 require different actions:
- Edits to the Box-14 COVID tab
- Use the ProContractor Edit Forms W-2 screen before you launch Aatrix. Changes to this tab will flow through to Aatrix.
- All other W-2 edits
- Use Aatrix to make edits. If you use the ProContractor Edit Forms W-2 screen to edit any values besides those on the Box 14 COVID tab, they will NOT be reflected in the W-2s in Aatrix.
