W2 Correction File

Modified on Thu, Mar 7 at 4:46 PM

After corrections have been made to employee's W2 records, you can create a corrections file to send to the IRS.  


1 - if your records are not locked on the Payroll > W2 > EFW2 File screen, lock them.  NOTE:  the lock button on the EFW2 File screen does not appear until you have published the documents.

2 - on the EFW2 File screen, change the Filing Mode from Filing to Corrections and click Save.

3 - make all  your corrections in SchoolFi.  Ensure all corrections are made before you proceed to step 4

4 - on the EFW2 File screen, you will see that a W2 Correction Records box opens.  Use this box to generate the correction records.  Click on the "Re/create correction records" button.  You will see the count of records populate.  DO NOT CLICK THIS BUTTON AGAIN or it will erase the correction records.  Next, use the "(Re)generate 202X-c file" button to download the corrections file you will send to the IRS.
