Social Security Administration AccuWage EFW2 Format

[acctax01]

I would like to electronically file my W-2 / W-3 information using the Social Security Administration Business Services Online (BSO) service. The service provides a free copy of AccuWage software which allows you to check W-2 reports for correctness before sending to the Social Security Administration. When I run AccuWage against my W-2 pdf file created in PayWindow I get an error stating: Record 1 must be RA record. Does PayWindow support the EFW2 format or create a W2REPORT that’s compatible with AccuWage? Please tell me there is a way to create this report in PayWindow; otherwise, I will have to manually enter each W-2 using BSO’s W-2 creation option. Thanks.

The W2 export is an ASCII file used by MAG-FILER from http://magfiler.spokanecomputer.com/

We are working on a tool that will work with NELCO for electronic transfer of W2's.
