Use this program to update information for electronic files. The Social Security Administration now requires that companies with more than 250 employees submit W-2 information in electronic files. The electronic file update takes information from the W-2 control records and the W-2 information and employee files, and creates an indexed file in the format required by the SSA. The user is responsible for transferring information to electronic files. If you have any questions on the information required, please contact your local Social Security Administration.
To run the W-2 Electronic File Update, specify the year (four digits) to process (YYYY).
