1099 MISC output to Application Server Issue 2010 DME file

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I have an issue where I cannot output my clients IRS file to our application server. Using program RFIDYYWT we enter the parameters. The output group is supposed to place the file on the application server, and create using the 2010 DME file.

However, this is not happening.

The strange thing is, I can use the 2009 DME file and create data for 2010. However, this will create it in the 2009 format which is not valid this year.

The most interesting piece is that all of my output groups point to the application server, however I do not specify the file to go there during the program (RFIDYYWT) parameters. I just give my desktop. Still, the file will create on the application server using the 2009 DME.

Again, this does not happen with the 2010 DME. Where is the program pulling the file path from?

If I do specify the file path to the app server during the program parameters, it just creates it in binary. This is true for both the 2009 DME and the 2010 DME. Therefore, I am sure it is pulling a file path from somewhere else.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Have you applied all three updates notes for 2010: 1535966, 1540165, 1546868. The FAQ.pdf document attached to note 1546868 includes steps to follow to download the file in the correct format for the IRS (see page 2) - do you have the configuration set up as specified and are you following the steps outlined?

Thanks Shannon, that was very helpful. We're going to go down the route of the OSS note which should address the issue.

We still don't know why the system, in its as is state, acts the way it does. But with the FAQ attached to one of the notes I at least see how to fix it and go about it another way.

Thanks again,
