If you are not saving your W-2 files to the PC File server, then you should save your W-2 files to the hard disk of the IBM SERVER (we no longer accept files saved to tape.) SkilMatch will connect to your system to retrieve the state file for the creation of state W-2 diskettes. We will send the diskettes to you upon completion.

Key DISK. Do NOT place a checkmark in the initialize tape question. Leave it blank. Click [OK] to continue. The next screen will display:

Record the file name on the worksheet provided by SkilMatch in the End of Year checklist (see website to obtain copy). Fax or mail this worksheet to SkilMatch for conversion to the required magnetic media.

Once you have written the file name on the worksheet provided, click [OK] to complete this procedure. You will return to menu.

Review State report

The system produced a state totals page for your review. The SIT WAGES on the magnetic media report should match the TOTAL SIT WAGES on the W-2 register. If they do not match, look to see whether you had negatives on the W-2 register. If you did, then the difference in the totals should match the total amount of negatives on the W-2 register.

Note: If the totals do not match, call SkilMatch and do not proceed.

Once you have finished each G/L company, click W-2 processing to locate the instructions for printing W-2s, transmitting the federal file, and other additional W-2 chores.
