W2's

We have not tested yet. I attempted to get Epicor's Custom programming
involved in December (we are on 5.2) and they didn't seem to understand what
I was looking for. "Not many of their customers are required to file W-2's
electronically"


Thank you,

I received the same error. I opened my W2 file with
wordpad, replaced "0
(11 blanks) 0" with "0000000000000" and it passed the test
with no errors.

I'm writing to find out if anyone on the list sends
their W2s to the
SSA via the internet and whether or not you've tested the
exported file
through Accuwage. I am getting an error on every employee
record, stating
that Position 364-374 (Employer Contributions to a Health
Savings Account)
cannot be left blank this year. Vantage support says"Vantage
does not have a
specific field for this". Does anyone know how to fix
manually in the
exported file? Thanks in advance.

Why doesn't Vantage print the W-2 form with the data when printing on
laser printers?

I called Vantage Tech Support today and asked and the tech said that in
all her years "No one had ever asked that question."

Why buy forms when we are (almost) all printing W-2's on laser printers?

Uhhh...there's a good margin in selling forms? We are in the process of switching for four part tractor feed PO forms to laser (standard Vantage Crystal version). I think the salesperson from the printing company we have used for 10 years or more is still crying.

Or to give them a little break...the W-2 forms are subject to change at government whim and the basic (and approved) camera ready layout is generally available. Changing a Crystal report every year would require more labor and no revenue for it. They might at least break even selling the preprinted forms and only having to modify the field placement rather than in Crystal do the boxes and lines too.

I think Todd is correct with they change the form almost every !@#% year.

You could download the PDF form from the IRS site, convert it to a bitmap,
and use it in your own Crystal form. Or just print a bunch of copies,
stuff 'em back in the feed tray and print the data in a 2nd pass. Bit of a
pita, but for a once a year pita.....

I think for some copies it would work but the copy A is red and has
magnetic ink. We do a 4 per page laser form that I customized the
Crystal Report to match for copies 2 - D. I would rather buy the
forms laser perfed.
