---

📊 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Know which W-2 files you can e-file

W-2 e-file includes:

• W-2 Originals
• W-2 Corrections

It also supports Federal forms:

• Federal W-2
• Federal Corrected W-2

Step 2: Review state annual withholding reporting coverage

Step 3: Understand forms that won’t be included (but won’t block e-file)

Forms that will not be included in the e-file, but will not prevent the e-file from being created:

• All state W-2/W-3 equivalent forms

Step 4: Review other limitations for Payroll 2012

• Payroll 2012 allows you to create e-files only for tax year 2012. Returns for prior years must be created with the appropriate product for that year.
• Payroll 2012 cannot create state correction files.
• For information on correcting state annual withholding reports, please contact the applicable state agency.
