New World ERP Human Resources 2021 Year-End Processing Guide
The Human Resources Year-End Processing Guide provides users with a workflow-based approach to year-end processing. The steps outlined in this training guide are designed to assist with the processing of employee W-2s, 1095-Cs and 1099-Rs in New World ERP.
The 2021 forms and transmittal files have been updated to meet federal and state regulations.
A Truncate SSN check box has been added to the Print W-2 Form page:
Human Resources > Year-End Processing > W-2 Processing > Print W-2 Form
                                                                        
                                                                    
When this check box is marked, the social security number is masked on the W-2, showing only the last four digits.

A State of Ohio option has been added to the Local Agency Transmittal drop-down on the Create W-2 Transmittal File page:
Human Resources > Year-End Processing > W-2 Processing > Create W-2 Transmittal
                                                                            When this option is selected, only Ohio RS39 records are included in the transmittal file. Any employee who is not associated with an RS39 record is excluded.
 - 
                                                                            
Two new fields, State Control Number and Municipality Name, display on the Other Tax page when OH is selected as the State:
Maintenance > Human Resources > Deductions and Benefits > Taxes > Other Tax Code
                                                                            The State Control Number displays in positions 331-337 of the CCA transmittal file and the Municipality Name in positions 338-412. If you are going to complete a CCA transmittal file, these entries are required for each municipality. They are not effective-dated so may be changed at any time.
 
Following is a list of the tasks to be performed in W-2 processing. Following this list will help to ensure a smooth year-end process:

Before beginning W-2 year-end processing, you should review the company information.
Maintenance > new world ERP Suite > System > Company Suite Settings> Company tab
Verify that the following fields on the Company tab are set up correctly:
- Company Name
 - Address Line 1
 - City
 - State
 - Zip
 - Federal Tax ID
 - State Tax ID
 
                                                                        
                                                                    
When the Create W-2 Data function is run from the W-2 Processing page, it will pull this information into the W-2 Company Information page. Make any necessary corrections and save the settings.
Human Resources > Workforce Administration > Search > Employee > Employment
Unless the user-defined Company field is populated, the employee will be considered part of the company that is specified in Company Suite Settings. To assign the employee to a different company for W-2 purposes, select an override Company and click Save.
Note: The override Company selections come from validation set 377 (Employment Company) in Maintenance. The validation set Value should be the federal tax ID without the dashes. The Description (appears in the drop-down) may be whatever helps you identify the company (see example below).
                                                                        
                                                                    
Maryland requires the ability to separate other taxes (Local Taxes) by state.
If you have employees who pay state taxes outside the state where your organization is located, you need to set up alternate state tax ID values in Validation Set Maintenance.
Maintenance > new world ERP Suite > System > Validation Sets > Validation Set List
- Select the State row (Validation Set 3) and click the Values button.
 - Select the row that designates the state where the employee pays taxes and click the Alternates button.
 - 
                                                                            
Click the New button to add an alternate value. The Alternate Value pop-up will launch:
                                                                             - In the Usage Type field, select the State Tax ID option.
 - In the Value field, type the state tax ID exactly the way the state displays it. Include any dashes or spaces that are used. It will print on the form the way that it is entered here.
 - The Description value is optional.
 - Click OK. This value will print in Box 15 for the employer’s state ID number on W-2s for employees who have a state tax deduction for this state. All other employees will use the default from Company Suite Settings.
 
No special setup is required if your organization uses new world standard forms. The year-end update will include all the necessary form information.
No special setup is required for the transmittal file. The year-end update will include all the necessary information.
Human Resources > Year-End Processing > W-2 Processing
W-2 Processing uses a work-flow format to organize the steps and allow users to logically step through them.
The W-2 Setup page, accessed by clicking the 
 icon on the W-2 processing page, allows authorized users to select the benefits, deductions, hours codes and other taxes used for Boxes 10, 12 and 14.
                                                                        
                                                                    
- Select the Year. The current year is the default value.
 - Select the Box that you want to set up. The options are Box 10, Box 12 and Box 14.
 - 
                                                                            
If Box 12 or Box 14 is selected in the Box field, a Box Code can be specified. The Box Code for Box 12 is hard-coded with the allowable values. The Box Code for Box 14 is a validation set and can be set up to contain values needed by the organization.
The Box 12 code for aggregate health care reporting is DD.
The Box 12 code for Permitted Benefits Under a Qualified Small Employer Health Reimbursement Arrangement is FF. Selecting this code enables the Benefits, Deductions and Hours Codes multi-select list box tabs for selections. The Create W-2 process will total the values from these selections and add the total to the employee's Box 12 FF. The amount may be edited on the W-2 Employee page.
If you have imputed income set up for an employee, Box 12 will be populated automatically with the letter C and the imputed income amount.
The codes for Box 14 come from Validation Set 265 (W-2 Box 14 Code) and may be set up by your organization. To add a code to Validation Set 265, hold down the <Ctrl> key, and click in the Box Code field. The Validation Set Values List 265-W2 Box 14 Code pop-up will open, containing a grid of existing Box 14 codes and a New button for adding more.
 - On the Benefits tab, select the benefits that should be included for the Box selected.
 - Click the Deductions tab and select the deductions that should be included for the Box selected.
 - If you are setting up Box 12 or Box 14, click the Hours Codes tab and select the hours codes that should be included for the box selected. This tab is disabled when you are setting up Box 10.
 - The Other Taxes tab also is enabled if you are setting up Box 14. You may select other taxes that should appear in Box 14 instead of appearing with local taxes in Box 19.

The W-2 Register pop-up, accessed by clicking the Print button on the W-2 Employee List page, allows authorized users to print the W-2 register.
The summary register lists taxable wages and federal taxes for each employee. The detail register lists all W-2 information for each employee. It also includes totals that may be compared to the 941s for the year. This will verify that the grand total taxes and wages reported on the W-2s match the amounts paid during the year.
The W-2 Register also may be used in conjunction with the Payroll History Report and the Earnings History Report to reconcile individual employee amounts. The User Adjustments mode is helpful for reviewing any discrepancies between the actual earnings history (including checks, voids and adjustments) and the current W-2 figures. These would be changes made from the W-2 employee list.
The W-2 Register may be sorted by employee name or department.

Print W-2 Z-Fold Form
Note: The W-2 Z-fold form must be printed on a network printer, due to additional printer setup that needs to be performed.
The Z-fold version of the W-2 form prints on legal-size paper. Printing from new world ERP uses the default paper size for the printer you select, so unless that is the default for your printer, you will need to follow the steps below to change the network printer’s default paper size to Legal.

The Zip Code value is defaulted from the W-2 Company record. If you need to change the value, type the beginning of the new value. The field will filter the options based on the values entered so the correct Zip can be selected without needing to type the entire code. Once the Zip is entered, the system will populate the City and State fields with the corresponding values.
Either a Zip or a Zip+4 value may be entered. If you use the Zip+4 format, the hyphen must be included between the fifth and sixth digits for the value to populate the City and State fields.
 - If the City needed is different than the one matching the Zip Code value, enter the value. The City may contain up to 22 characters.
 - If you require a different State value, select the correct state.
 - Select the Kind of Employer. The corresponding letter code from your selection will appear in position 174 of the transmittal file

The state of Ohio needs to create a local W-2 transmittal file. Selecting Ohio as the State displays a Local Agency Transmittal drop-down field and multi-select list boxes containing local taxes. Available selections in the drop-down are Social Security Administration, State of Ohio, Regional Income Tax and Central Collection Agency:
                                                                             - 
                                                                            
Use the multi-select list boxes to exclude specific local taxes from the W-2 transmittal file. The available selections in the boxes are the Locality entries from the "Other" tax codes that were set up in Maintenance and were used in the Create W-2 Data step. To exclude a tax, move it from the Included Taxes box on the left to the Excluded Taxes box on the right.
If Michigan is selected as the State and Flint Local as the Local Agency Transmittal, the transmittal file appropriately will contain the FL or Flint code, depending on how it is named in the Locality field on the Other Tax page in Maintenance (Maintenance > Human Resources > Deductions and Benefits > Taxes).
If W-2s are processed before the Locality code for Flint has been set up, the code may be added manually through the W-2 Employee Local Wages tab in W-2 Processing (Human Resources > Year-End Processing > W-2 Processing > W-2 Employee List > Employee Name > Local Wages > New).
If Michigan is selected as the State and Lansing or East Lansing as the Local Agency Transmittal, the transmittal file will contain the LAN or MIELA code, depending on how it is named in the Locality field on the Other Tax page in Maintenance.
If State of Ohio is selected as the Local Agency Transmittal, only Ohio RS39 records are included in the transmittal file. Any employee who is not associated with an RS39 record is excluded.
To complete an Ohio CCA transmittal file, the State Control Number and Municipality Name must have entries on the Other Tax page in Maintenance > Human Resources > Deductions and Benefits > Taxes > Other Tax Code. State Control Number displays in positions 331-337 of the CCA transmittal file and the Municipality Name in positions 338-412. These entries are required for each municipality. They are not effective-dated so many be changed at any time.
 - Select the Transmittal Layout format that you want to use for this file. This field is required.
 - Enter the contact person’s Name. This is the name of the person at the organization that the IRS should contact if there are concerns about the transmittal file. The name is required; it may contain up to 27 characters.
 - Enter the Phone. This is the phone number of the person at the organization that the IRS should use if there are concerns about the transmittal file. Either the phone number or email address is required; it must contain 10 digits if it is used.
 - Enter the phone Extension, if applicable. This field may contain up to 5 characters.
 - Enter the Email address. The contact’s email address may contain up to 40 characters. Either the email address or the phone number is required.
 - Enter the Fax number. This field must contain 10 digits if it is used.
 - Enter the Title of the contact person’s role, if desired.
 - Click the Create button. The transmittal file will be sent to myReports.
 - 
                                                                            
Go to myReports. Click the 2021 W-2 Transmittal link on the left side of the page. The File Download pop-up will open:
                                                                                
                                                                             - Click the Save button and save the file to a folder on your computer where it can be located to send to the IRS.
 
Prior to your sending the W-2 transmittal file, it is recommended that you run the file through AccuWage.
AccuWage is free software from the Social Security Administration that allows you to check the W-2 transmittal file for correctness.
AccuWage is available at the Social Security Administration website: www.ssa.gov/employer/accuwage
To accommodate situations when employees have local taxes from different states, a State field is available on the Other Tax page in Maintenance:
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                    
Select the appropriate state from the drop-down.
When the Locality Code on the Other Tax page matches the Box 20 Locality Name on the W-2 Employee Local Wages tab in W-2 Processing, and the state of the local code and the state gross are Maryland, all local taxes will be added to the state tax in the W-2 transmittal file, placing the total amount in RS record position 287-298.
Selecting Ohio as the State on the Create W-2 Transmittal File page (Human Resources > Year-End Processing > Create W-2 Transmittal) displays a Local Agency Transmittal drop-down field and multi-select list boxes containing local taxes.
Available selections in the drop-down are Social Security Administration, State of Ohio, Regional Income Tax and Central Collection Agency.
Use the multi-select list boxes to exclude specific local taxes from the W-2 transmittal file. The available selections in the boxes are the Locality entries from the "Other" tax codes that were set up in Maintenance and were used in the Create W-2 Data step. To exclude a tax, move it from the Included Taxes box on the left to the Excluded Taxes box on the right.
If State of Ohio is selected as the Local Agency Transmittal, only Ohio RS39 records are included in the transmittal file. Any employee who is not associated with an RS39 record is excluded.
To complete an Ohio CCA transmittal file, the State Control Number and Municipality Name must have entries on the Other Tax page in Maintenance > Human Resources > Deductions and Benefits > Taxes > Other Tax Code. State Control Number displays in positions 331-337 of the CCA transmittal file and the Municipality Name in positions 338-412. These entries are required for each municipality. They are not effective-dated so many be changed at any time.
Central Collection Agency Requirements
Maintenance > Human Resources > Deductions and Benefits > Taxes > Other Tax Code
Human Resources > Year-End Processing > W-2 Processing > Create W-2 Transmittal
For the Ohio Central Collection Agency (CCA), the Locality code from tax maintenance needs to be populated on the RS record for all cities, not only CCA members.
When the transmittal file for Ohio CCA is processed, the Locality code from tax maintenance determines the code populated on the transmittal file; for example, a Locality code of CC123 on the tax setup populates a CC in field 5-6 and 123 in field 7-9 on the RS records.
Since CC123 is a member of CCA, the CC characters define the location on the transmittal file; other cities, however, are not members of CCA. They also have locality codes that need to be reported, but because they are not members, they do not need to report a CC in field 5-6; this field must be blank.
In the case of a Locality code of R0345 (Canton OH RITA tax), this non-CCA member tax has been reported in field 3-9 of the transmittal file as 887, where 887 is unknown. The CCA has given Canton OH a city code of 445, meaning the Locality code for Canton tax is set up as R0345 for Rita tax, but now needs to be reported to CCA with a Locality code of 445.
In tax maintenance, a CCA non-member Locality code needs to be populated for all local taxes that can be used for reporting on the W-2 transmittal.
The Locality code will allow 9 characters. To populate correctly, a format of R0123-234 is needed, where R0123 is used for RITA, and 234 is used for the CCA non-member city.
| Rules and Setup | ||
|---|---|---|
| A Rita tax will never be a CCA member, but it can be a Rita and a non-member CCA city. | ||
| Ex. | Locality for Rita | R0123 |

| Example 6 | ||
| JAMES | NA | Non Rita, Non CCA, no codes for either | 
| Locality code | JAMES or XXXXX | XXXXX can be anything (as long as it does not begin with RO or CC), Rita is okay, and CCA will default to 887 (view  | 
                                                                            
Ohio Local Tax Setup
When a local tax for SSA is set up for a city, the Locality entry should start with a C, followed by four numbers. When it is set up for a school district, the entry should start with an E, followed by four numbers. (Type of Tax is not used.)
When the tax is to go to the Regional Income Tax Agency, the Locality is expected to start with RO, followed by three numbers (RO###). When the tax is to go to the Central Collection Agency, the Locality is expected to start with CC, followed by three numbers (CC###). Both taxes require a Type of Tax selection. The Type of Tax should be R for Residential or C for City.
The employee's state wage needs to be OH.
When the SSA transmittal file is run, the standard Ohio transmittal file will run. All employees will be included, but only the selected local tax codes data will be supplied.
When the Regional Income Tax Agency or Central Collection Agency is selected, only the employees who have the selected local taxes will be included.
Following is a list of the tasks to be performed in 1095-C processing. Following this list will help to ensure a smooth year-end process:

The 1095-C create process will determine all the primary job benefit groups for each employee during the tax year and select the earliest Override Plan Start Month from these benefit groups. If the Override Plan Start Month is blank in every case, it will use the Plan Start Month from Company HR Settings.
For non-employees, the create process will check the start month on the Non-Employee Benefit Plan Entry page in Maintenance for all the non-employees’ plans where 6055 Reporting is selected. The create process will use the earliest month found.

1095-C Processing uses a work-flow format to organize the steps and allow users to logically step through them.
Use the Create 1095-C Data page, accessed by clicking the 
 icon on the 1095-C Processing page, to aggregate the employee and company data needed to generate and print your 1095-C forms and send the associated transmittal file to the IRS:

Use the Applicable Large Employer (ALE) Member List page, accessed by clicking the 
 icon on the 1095-C Processing page, to review and maintain the employer information for your 1095-C forms and transmittal file. This data is sent to the IRS along with the employee 1095-C forms and the employer 1094-C form:
                                                                        
                                                                    
Note: Although the system generates some of the employer data, such as name, address, authoritative transmittal and full-time and total employee counts, you will need to enter the rest of the data, such as the certification of eligibility, MEC offer indicator and section 4980H transition relief indicator.

Enter the nine-digit, state-assigned employer identification number (EIN). If multiple EINs have been saved, the first one in the list is the default selection. All ALE member EINs that exist for the Tax Year selected will display on the drop-down in alphanumeric order.

To add a covered individual, click the New button below the grid. To edit information for a covered individual, click the corresponding Name in the grid. In either instance, the 1095-C Employee page for the covered individual will open:

 - 
                                                                            
Select Months of Coverage for those months in which the individual was covered for at least one day in the month; for example, if an entry on the Covered Individuals section of Workforce has a Start Date of 3/15/14 and an End Date of 7/21/14, the months of coverage for the selected contacts will default as March, April, May, June and July.
To select the check boxes for all months, select the All 12 Months check box. Deselecting the check box for an individual month will deselect the All 12 Months check box.
 - To save the information, click the Save button. To save the information and clear the fields for the addition of another covered individual, click the Save/New button.
 
1095-C Correction
Selecting an employee from the 1095-C Employee List page and clicking the Correction button opens the 1095-C Employee page, where the Employee and Employer Information tab provides four additional fields—one for a correction batch number and three that, together, will create a unique ID for the corrected record:
                                                                        
                                                                    
Correction Batch defaults the highest existing correction batch number for all employees. (To allow for multiple entries, a sequence number has been added to the 1095-C Employee table to track corrections. The sequence number acts as a "correction batch number" to submit corrections to the IRS. More than one correction may be submitted at once, so the same batch number may be used for several employees.)
If the highest existing correction batch number is 0, the default is 1. Whole numbers up to three digits are permitted. This number may be edited when adding or editing a correction.
Multiple corrections may be made for one employee, as long as the corrections are in different batches.
An employee may not have more than one correction submitted at a time, so the batch number must be unique for the employee/tax year/EIN.
Corrected Unique Record ID fields: When submitting corrections to the IRS, the user must specify the ID of the record being corrected. The IRS identifies this data as the “CorrectUniqueRecordID.” The ID consists of three parts, each separated by a vertical bar (|)--for example, 1095C-17-00001234|12|98.
Receipt ID is issued by the IRS when a transmittal file is sent. Example: 1095C-15-00000953.
Submission ID identifies the company within the transmittal file. The default entry is 1. Whole numbers up to two digits are permitted.
Record ID identifies the employee within the company. Employees are numbered sequentially, beginning with 1. The default is blank. Whole numbers up to five digits are permitted.
When corrections are saved, the Receipt ID, Submission ID and Record ID are combined with a vertical bar (|) between each and saved as the IRSCorrectedUniqueRecordID (Example: 1095C-17-00001234|1|98), and rows representing the corrected records are inserted below the previous records on the 1095-C Employee List page, with the correction batch number displayed in the Correction Batch column.

To print the 1095-C Employee Register, a detailed report used to verify the employees’ setup, click the Print button at the bottom of the 1095 Employee List page. The 1095-C Register dialog will open:
                                                                             - Select the Tax Year for which the register is being generated.
 - Select the nine-digit, state-assigned employer identification number (EIN) for which the report is being generated.
 - The Correction Batch field is enabled when the Report Type selected is Detail. The register output will contain only the employee data that matches the correction batch number selected. The number will display to the right of the EIN. A Corrected Unique Record ID column will display to the right of the employees.
 - Select the Report Type to run: Detail generates a list of all 1095-C employee information used to verify the employee’s setup. Audit generates a summary list of employees who meet certain criteria to help identify those who are set up incorrectly. Selecting Audit disables the Offer and Coverage and Covered Individuals check boxes.
 - In the Sort by field, select how you want the register sorted: Employee Name sorts the register alphabetically by employee last names. Department sorts the register alphabetically by department names.
 - To include offer and coverage information on the register, select Offer and Coverage. To exclude this information, deselect the box.
 - To include covered individuals information on the register, select Covered Individuals. To exclude this information, deselect the box.

Sample Detail Register by Department
                                                                        
                                                                    
All data comes from the name, employment and primary job records effective as of 12/31 of the tax year.
If your Report Type selection is Audit, the following three sections will appear on the register:
- 
                                                                            
Active employees not receiving a 1095-C
This section should contain part-time employees without coverage for the entire year.
 - 
                                                                            
Terminated employees from prior years receiving a 1095-C
This section will contain employees on COBRA and covered retirees.
 - 
                                                                            
Employees without offer of coverage information for the entire year
This section should be blank, as it is not allowed by the IRS.
 
All three sections show the name and various other information to help identify the employee.
Sample 1095-C Register Audit
                                                                        
                                                                    
The Print 1095-C Forms page, accessed by clicking the 
 icon on the 1095-C Processing page, allows authorized users to generate official 1095-C forms.
                                                                        
                                                                    
- Select the Tax Year. The current year is the default value.
 - Select the EIN. This value defaults from the 1095-C Employee List page.
 - If applicable, select the Correction Batch. The names on the Employee drop-down are filtered according to correction batch number, tax year and EIN. Only the 1095-C forms that match the selected correction batch number are generated. If the correction batch is selected, an X will appear in the Corrected box at the top of the 1095-C and 1095-C Z-Fold forms.
 - 
                                                                            
Leave the Employee field blank to generate 1095-Cs for all employees. Select the Employee if the 1095-C should be generated for only one employee.
Note: A 1095-C will not print for any employee who has elected to go paperless and has a primary email address set up in Workforce Administration; however, if an employee is selected in the Employee prompt, a 1095-C will print.
 
- In the Sort By field, select whether to generate 1095-C forms by Employee Name or Primary Department.
 - Select the 1095-C Form that you want to use. This entry is required.
 - In the Employee Status multi-select list boxes, select the status(es) for which 1095-Cs will be generated. You may use the list boxes to generate 1095-Cs for current employees to be distributed with paychecks separate from the 1095-Cs that need to be mailed to former employees.
 - 
                                                                            
Click Print to send the print file as a PDF to myReports.
The standard form will print on 8 ½” x 11” paper with no perforations.
The form prints “portrait” instead of “landscape” so that it fits into a window envelope.
A Z-Fold form also is available.
 - 
                                                                            
From myReports, click the 2021 1095-C link on the left side of the page. The forms will display on the right side of the page, allowing you to view the forms before printing:
                                                                             - 
                                                                            
Click
 in the top border of the preview pane:
                                                                             - 
                                                                            
Select the appropriate print options.
Note: It is recommended that you first print one form to ensure the paper is loaded correctly in your printer before you print all forms.
 - Click Print.
 
Print 1095-C Z-Fold Form
Note: The 1095-C Z-fold form must be printed on a network printer, due to additional printer setup that needs to be performed.
The Z-fold version of the 1095-C form prints on legal-size paper. Printing from new world ERP uses the default paper size for the printer you select, so unless that is the default for your printer, you will need to follow the steps below to change the network printer’s default paper size to Legal.
- 
                                                                            
Connect to the server that houses the application server or the report server (if installed) by going to Start > Run and typing mstsc /console:
                                                                             - In the Computer field, type the name of your server and click Connect.
 - Log into the server using the administrator log in.
 - Select Start > Devices and Printers or Start > Printers and Faxes.
 - Right click the printer you will use to print the Z-fold 1095-C forms. Remember that it should be a network printer, not a local printer.
 - 
                                                                            
Select Printing Preferences from the menu. Set the default paper size to Legal. Below is an example for an HP PCL5 printer:
                                                                             - 
                                                                            
Click Apply to make the changes.
Note: The log-on user for the service must have rights to the printer that you will use to print the Z-fold forms. This setup has been performed if the printer is available for selection on the myReports page.
 - You may print the 1095-C Z-fold forms from the Print 1095-C Forms page in new world ERP. Remember to select the 2021 1095-C Z-Fold option in the Form field. When you click the Print button at the bottom of the preview pane in myReports, the printer will expect legal-size paper to be used.
 - Once the forms are printed, return your network printer to its default settings.
 
Note: Certain information required for the 1095-C transmittal file must be entered on your employer record prior to creating the transmittal file. If you have not set up these required fields on the Applicable Large Employer (ALE) Member List, you will receive an error when uploading your transmittal file to the IRS. Please review the sections on the Applicable Large Employer Member List and the 1095-C Employee List.
The Create 1095-C Transmittal page, accessed by clicking the 
 icon on the 1095-C Processing page, allows authorized users to create electronic 1095-C XML files for submission to the federal government:
                                                                        
                                                                    
- Select the Tax Year. The current year is the default value.
 - Select the EIN. This value defaults from the 1095-C Employee List page.
 - Enter the Transmitter Control Code. This is the number assigned by the IRS to uniquely identify the transmitter. This field is required.
Select Original, Replacement, 1094-C Correction or 1095-C Correction for the Transmission Type. A replacement transmission should only be used when requested by the IRS.
Selecting 1094-C Correction adds a Corrected Unique Submission ID field to the page. Selecting 1095-C Correction adds the Correction Batch drop-down, which requires a selection. For the 1095-C correction, only the employees linked to the selected correction batch number are included in the transmittal file.

Note: The Corrected Unique Submission ID is a combination of the Receipt ID and Submission ID, using the pipe symbol (|) as a separator: ReceiptID|SubmissionID.

The following step (5) is not required for customers who have completed this step successfully in a prior year; it is required only for customers who are uploading 1095-Cs to the IRS for the first time:
 - 
                                                                            
To create a file you are required to send to the IRS as a communications test prior to sending your actual 1095-C electronic file, select the Communications Test check box. The files created for the communications test will not contain your actual data; they will contain test data required by the IRS. After you have sent those files to the IRS and passed the communications test, de-select this check box to create files containing your actual data.
Step summary for customers uploading 1095-Cs to the IRS for the first time:
- Create a transmittal file with the Communications Test check box selected.
 - Upload the file to the IRS.
 - Once the file is accepted, contact the IRS to have your account moved from test to production before creating data with the Communications Test check box deselected.
 
 - 
                                                                            
If the IRS requires a replacement file, an Original Receipt ID or Original Unique Submission ID will need to be entered:
                                                                             - 
                                                                            
Click the Create button. The following files will be sent to myReports:
- Validation Results for Manifest 1094-C Request
 - Validation Results for 1094-C Request
 - Manifest 1094-C Request
 - 1094-C Request
 
 - 
                                                                            
For each validation report, click Open to check for errors. If either report contains errors, make corrections and recreate the transmittal files. Below are examples of common validation errors and what they mean:
                                                                            This error indicates the Applicable Large Employer (ALE) was not updated. Contact information must be entered, along with any other information the IRS requires for the 1094-C. Please see the IRS instructions for additional details.
                                                                            This error indicates an invalid Transmitter Control Code was entered when the transmittal file was created. Recreate the transmittal file, verifying the Transmitter Control Code is entered correctly.
Once both validation reports indicate "No errors found," the Transmission Data File 1094-C Request and the 1094-C Request are formatted correctly and may be sent to the IRS.
 - Go to myReports. Click the 1094-C Request link on the left side of the page. You will be asked whether you want to open or save the file.
 - Click the Save button to save the file to a folder on your computer where it may be located to upload to the IRS. Follow the same process for the Transmission Data File 1094-C Request file.
 - Upload these files to the IRS.

Human Resources > Workforce Administration > Search > Employee > Employment
To set up an employee who has a 1099-R instead of a W-2, check the 1099 box on the Employment tab.
An employee who was paid should show up under the Federal Tax ID specified in new world ERP Company Suite Settings. If you select a Company on the Employment tab, the employee should show up under the tax ID associated with the company.

 - If you are adding an employee, select the name from the Employee field. You can type part of the name in this field to filter the available values. Once you select the employee, the name and address information from the employee record will populate the fields on this page.
 - If you are adding a non-employee to the list, enter their name using the Recipient Name field.
 - If applicable, the Doing Business As (DBA) field contains the name under which the company is conducting business.

 - Populate the Address Line 1, either the Federal Tax ID or the SSN, and Zip Code fields. The Zip Code value will populate the City and State fields.
 - Populate the appropriate 1099 boxes with the amounts that should appear on the 1099.
 - When you click Save, the employee will now be part of the 1099 List. A 1099 will be created for the amounts you specified, but this person will not be flagged as a 1099 employee.
 
Deleting an Employee from the List
If an employee is no longer a 1099 employee, he or she can be deleted from the 1099 List. To do this,
- Go to the employee record for the employee you want to delete from the 1099 List.
 - Go to the User-Defined attribute for the employee.
 - Blank out the 1099-R user-defined value and click Save. The employee will now receive a W-2 when Create W-2 Data is run.

It displays the employee’s Name and Number, the Box Number where the value was changed, the Original Amount, the Amount on 1099 and the Adjusted Amount.
 
 - Determine whether Exceeding Minimum Only should be selected. This check box is cleared by default. If it is left cleared, 1099 transactions for all employees, regardless of the amount, will appear on the register. If the check box is selected, only employees whose transactions exceed the minimum amount required to print a 1099 will appear on the register.
 - Select the 1099 types that should be included on the register. Type 1099-R must be selected. Click the type and click the Add button to add 1099-R.

Print Directly on Blank Stock Forms
Organizations must use IRS Blank Stock tax forms to print 1099s. When printed, the 1099 Blank form types available in new world ERP are replicas of the IRS forms.
It is recommended that you test print one form to ensure the paper is loaded correctly in your printer before you mass print all forms. In addition, the 1099 tax forms are now automatically saved as Adobe Acrobat PDF files in the system when generated.
Note: Special instructions for printing the 1099-R Z-fold form appear at the end of this section.
The 1099 Forms page allows users to specify the 1099 form to be printed and then print the actual 1099s to send to the employees.
                                                                        
                                                                    
- Select the Tax Year. The current year is the default value.
 - Select the Company Federal Tax ID. This field is required. Many organizations will have only one Company Federal Tax ID, but in the case of a multi-company scenario, the forms may be printed for only one company at a time.
 - Select the 1099 Type. 1099-R is the only option and is selected by default.
 - Select the Form Type. This field is required. The available types will vary.
 - Select the Truncate SSN check box if the number should be truncated for security purposes when it is printed. The Truncate SSN check box will appear for Blank Copy C and Blank Copy Z-Fold forms only.
 - Determine whether Exceeding Minimum Only should be selected. This check box is selected by default. If it left selected, only employees whose transactions exceed the minimum amount required to print a 1099 will be printed. If the check box is cleared, 1099 transactions for all employees, regardless of the amount, will be printed.
 - Leave the Employee field blank to print 1099s for all employees. Select the Employee if 1099s should be printed for only one employee.
 - The Recipient/Transferor Name field allows you to print a 1099 for a recipient who is not a vendor. The value can contain up to 192 characters.
 - The Federal Tax ID/SSN field is another option that allows you to print a 1099 for a recipient who is not a vendor. It can be used with the Recipient/Transferor Name field or by itself.
 - Click Print to send the print file to myReports.

1099-R Z-fold Form for 2021 Tax Year
The Z-fold version of the 1099-R form prints on legal-size paper. Printing from new world ERP uses the default paper size for the printer you select, so unless that is the default for your printer, you need to change the network printer’s default paper size to Legal.

Under More Settings, select a Paper size of Legal:
                                                                             -
