W-2 Electronic File Update (PRU830)

This program allows FACTS users 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.

Use the following fields to run the W-2 Electronic File Update:

1. Year To Process

Enter the year (four digits) to process (YYYY). The update must be run for the current or previous year. If the year entered is already on file, proceeding overwrites the old records.
