Where can customers access Tax forms?
All Tax Forms can be accessed, reviewed, edited, and approved before the Key Deadlines from the Year-End Dashboard. If an issue is found while reviewing Tax Forms, they should be rejected, and the issue should be documented.
Rejecting forms will cause all manual edits to be lost, even if they were saved on each individual form. Therefore, it is recommended to review all forms for incorrect entries made outside of each form's editable fields.
How can W-2s and /or 1099s be corrected/adjusted?
W-2s and/or 1099s can be corrected/adjusted by submitting a Help Center Request with the following information:

Employee Type (W-2/1099)
Correction Required
If correcting an amount, we will need the amount of the correction and the income/deduction that needs to be adjusted or the specific boxes in which amounts need to be increased/lowered.

If your organization is not withholding Employee amounts and tracking the Employer amount on the applicable deduction, then the information for Box 12 should be manually uploaded. This information is required for ACA reporting.
Ensure to review all Employee W-2s for any issues outside of editable fields before importing Box 12 Health Amounts. When forms are rejected, all manual updates will be lost.
Aggregated Health Amounts can be tracked by entering in the Employee and Employer contributions per pay period for the Scheduled Deduction on the Employee record. This will be automatically tracked throughout the year and added to the W2 without the need to update via import for the upcoming year.
