Tax reporter issue

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have cleared claims for some of the terminated employees in our cpmpany and /5py wage type no longer exists in their RT. When i run simulation W2's for these employees , the W2 looks correct but i see the message EE with negative /5py(result ignored no action required) under the adjustment summary in the log manager. Is it ok if i get this message? Please confirm.

Hello Ramesh,

Check the As of Date you are running the W2, whether you have given the As of Date after the Claims cleared date?

With regards,

Hi Karthik,

I cleared the claims as of 12/30/2011. I ran simulation W2's by giving the "Reporting period end date as 12/31/2011"

and "consider payroll results upto 12/31/2011". Do you think i am missing something?

Hello Ramesh,

Kindly refer the note 544849

9. How are negative amounts handled on tax forms?

Answer: As a general rule, SAP does not report negative numbers on

the W-2 form. In the case of a deduction (which would normally have

a negative value in SAP), the sign would be reversed so that it

would be presented on the W-2 form as a positive value through the

tax form configuration. In the cases where the system encounters a

negative value that it does not expect, it will, in some cases,

convert the value to zero and prints a message in the Tax Reporter

log. In other cases, Tax Reporter may error the employee from the

tax run altogether and also note this information in Tax Reporter

log.

Payroll period where there is negative -5py will not be considered during the Tax reporter run.
