Changes made in Payroll after printing W-2s

[Customer Service]

Press the Recreate button in the Print/W2s window to make a new W-2s file with any new Payroll data. "Recreating" allows you to review errors generated by your first W-2s run, correct the information in your Payroll data, and then click the Recreate button to generate new intermediate data from which to print on paper or generate the electronic file for submission.

When you run the Print/W-2s command or the Electronic Filing/W-2s command, the system creates an "intermediate" file of temporary data from which to print paper W-2s or build the electronic W-2s file. If you need to start over, click the Recreate button in either W-2s window to replace the existing intermediate file with a new intermediate file created from the current information available in your Payroll records. After the intermediate file is created, the paper W-2s are ready to print or the electronic W-2s file is created automatically.

Do not click Recreate if you do not need to start over. Creating the intermediate file can take significant time if your Payroll company is large.
