**Errors below are still a work in progress** 

W2 Report Errors and Warning

The following list describes errors and warnings that may appear when the W2 Report program is run. Each message is followed by an explanation of its meaning, a possible solution, along with the severity of each message. The error messages are classified into three categories: informational, warning, and fatal. Fatals flagged with an '***' will cause the tape file to not be created. Fatals flagged without an '***' may cause an inquiry from the SSA/IRS. Messages must be researched thoroughly before adjustments are made. Some situations may require that you contact your ITC for assistance. The messages are listed alphabetically.

        Error    Contact email address must be entered on W2 configuration

        Error    Contact name must be entered on W2 configuration

        Error    Contact phone number must be entered on W2 configuration

Error    Invalid SSN, verify SSN before printing W2's 

Error    Employee last name should not be null or empty

Error    Employee first name should not be null or empty

Error    Employee must have either a STANDARD or FOREIGN address

Error    Employee must have a city

Error    Employee must have a country code

• • If the Foreign Address field in Employee screen is checked, a Country code must be entered
    

Error     Employee must have a postal code

• • If the Foreign Address field in Employee screen is checked, a Postal Code must be entered.
    

Error     Gross for this payroll item (code: XXX) exceeds the maximum for this reporting year

• • For each gross amount reported to the IRS/SSA, there is a maximum value that can be reported. The current maximum that the submission file will accept is 9999999.99. 
    If this message is encountered, verify the gross amount for the employee.
    

Error     Medicare amount does not equal 1.45% of Medicare Gross (If Medicare withheld is (+-) $0.30 off)

Error     FICA/OASDI amount does not equal 6.2% of FICA/OASDI Gross

• • These two messages are related. W2 Processing calculates the amount of Medicare and FICA tax by multiplying the taxable gross by the correct withholding percentage. If the calculated tax amount differs from the tax amount found on the 692/693 records by more than $.30, the messages are issued. 
    These errors will most likely cause the IRS/SSA to reject the submission file therefore it is necessary to research and resolve the problem.

        Error     Submitter EIN must be entered on W2 configuration

        Error     Submitter delivery address must be entered on W2 configuration

        Error     Submitter location address must be entered on W2 configuration

        Error     Submitter city must be entered on W2 configuration

        Error     Submitter state must be entered on W2 configuration

        Error     Submitter zip code must be entered on W2 configuration

Error     This employee has Medicare tax without any Medicare wages

• • This message cannot be ignored under any circumstances. Upon receipt of the submission file from the ITC, the IRS/SSA calculates the expected tax amount and compares it to the amount reported on the file. If these figures are off by more than a few cents, the file is rejected. 
    Run the Audit Trail report to determine if manual changes on the Medicare deduction records may be the cause.
    

Error     This employee's Medicare wages are less then their social security wages

• • The Medicare gross wages amount is incorrect or the FICA (Social Security) gross wages amount is incorrect. Please update the gross amount using CORE/ADJUSTMENTS/TOTAL GROSS that has the incorrect amount. This error should be corrected before creating a submission file. The Social Security Administration will contact the district if this error is not fixed. 
    

Error     This employee has FICA wages without any Medicare wages

• • To properly withhold FICA tax, the employee must have two payroll item records (692 and 693), one flagged as type Medicare and one flagged with type Social Security Tax. This message will occur if W2 Processing encounters a record set up with type Social Security Tax but no record set up with type Medicare for the same employee.
    Contact the ITC for assistance if this message is encountered.
    

Error     This employee has FICA/OASDI tax without any FICA/OASDI wages

• • This message cannot be ignored under any circumstances. Upon receipt of the submission file from the ITC, the IRS/SSA calculates the expected tax amount and compares it to the amount reported on the submission file.  If these figures are off by more than a few cents, the file is rejected. 
    Run the Audit Trail report to determine if manual changes on the Medicare/FICA payroll item records may be the cause. 
    

Warning    Federal Total annuities, $xxxx.xx, does not equal total gross less taxable gross

• • The W2 Processing program verifies that the annuity (generally in the 500-599 payroll items code range) payroll item amount equals the calculated annuity amount. The calculated amount is determined by taking the total gross and subtracting the taxable gross. The result is the amount of the annuity that was in effect while the tax was being withheld. If this calculated value differs from the totals on the annuity records, the warning appears. 
    This warning is often associated with a change that has been made to the taxable gross but no corresponding change was made to the total gross or vice versa. Manual adjustments in CORE/ADJUSTMENTS option to the annuity amounts may also cause this warning. Run the Audit Trail report to attempt to isolate these situations. 
    If an annuity was in effect for only part of the year, this warning may appear and can be ignored.
    
    • Using Core/Adjustment, enter an adjustment to the Total Gross to Federal, State, City (if they honored the annuity initially) OSDI  and Medicare

Warning    Payroll Item XXX: Negative annuity on file for this employee.  Assuming zero.

• • A total negative annuity indicates a check was voided from a prior calendar year in the current calendar year. Run the REPORTS/PAYMENT TRANSACTION STATUS REPORT option to attempt to isolate the problem. If this is the case, you will need to zero the negative amount of the annuity and file a W2-C form for the previous calendar year
    
    • Using Core/Adjustment, enter an adjustment to the Applicable Gross for the Annuity

Warning    Employee last name contains a comma

• • Check employee's last name for a comma and remove

Warning    Federal Total , $xxxx.xx, does not equal total gross less taxable gross

Warning    Payroll Item XXX: Negative amount payroll item can not be reported on W2, reporting zero

• • This message indicates a check was voided from a prior calendar year in the current calendar year. Run the REPORTS/PAYMENT TRANSACTION STATUS REPORT to attempt to isolate the problem. If this is the case, you will need to file a W2-C form for the previous calendar year.
    

Warning    Possible medicare discrepancy detected for amount over 200,000.  Amount calculated = $xxxxxx.xx

• • This warning will appear if medicare wages are over $200,000.00 and the medicare amount on the Payroll Item is not within 30 cents of the calculated value. This warning will allow the submission file to be written.
    

Warning    Payroll Item XXX: No state ID on payroll item configuration

• • This warning will appear if No state ID is entered on the State Tax Payroll Item configuration

Warning    Federal gross is zero

• • The employee has no gross amount on the Federal tax record (001).  If an employee was included in a payroll during the year (even if it was dock-only) or if the employee has any adjustment journals for withholding, applicable gross or total gross during the calendar year.
    

Warning    Payroll Item XXX: Calculated annuity amount exceeds the total annuities

• • The calculated annuity value is larger than the amounts showing on the annuity (generally in the 500 through 599 Payroll Item code range) records. The calculated amount is determined by subtracting the taxable gross from the total gross. 
    Manual changes may have been made to the payroll items. It is possible the total or taxable gross was changed incorrectly due to an error adjustment, thus causing the calculated annuity amount to be too high. 

Warning    Payroll Item Employer Health Coverage: Negative amount payroll item can not be reported on W2, reporting zero

Warning    Employee has ITIN.  SSN will be all zeroes - Employee that has an SSN starting with a 9 is considered an ITIN number. W2 Report will show zero's for this employee.  The W2 Form, XML and Submission file will show zero's.

Warning    Regular Payroll Item (5XX) associated with Annuity Payroll Item Configuration

Will give this warning when there is a mismatch between the Payroll Item type and Payroll Item Configuration type

Info    Employer paid life insurance > 99,999.99 limit - field truncated

• The employer paid life insurance field is six characters long. If W2  encounters anything larger, the message is issued.  Verify that the amount was entered properly on the Adjustment Journal record for the employee under Life Insurance
  

Info    Payroll Item XXX: Taxable gross is larger than total gross

• • It is possible that a change was made to the taxable gross but no corresponding change was made to the total gross or vice versa. Run the Audit trail report program to help identify the problem.
    

Info    Payroll Item XXX: Possible error in OSDI gross or tax

• • OSDI taxable wages with no OSDI tax or OSDI tax with no taxable wages have been detected. 
    Manual changes may have been made to the payroll items using the CORE/ADJUSTMENTS option. Run the Audit Trail report and verify. 
    If the employee has not earned enough wages to have any tax withheld, this message can be ignored.
    

Info    Pension Plan flag on Federal tax payroll item is overriding W2 calculations

• • On the federal tax record, there is a pension plan box flag. This flag is used to indicate if the pension plan box on the W2 should be checked. There are three values for the flag:
    
    • Automatically check the pension plan box per W2 Processing calculations
      Yes, check the pension plan box
      No, never check the pension plan box
