Reprocess Internet/magnetic payroll tax forms

If you need to recreate a 1099, W-2, or state payroll tax form that is being filed with the Internet or Magnetic filing method, follow the steps in the following sections.

1099 files

The IRS can accept or reject individual client records submitted in the same file. Therefore, you may not need to re-create and re-submit all of the clients in the original batch file. You can also use these steps if you are processing 1099s for recipients that were not included in the first file.
  1. Select
    Actions
    ,
    Process Internet/Magnetic files
    , then
    Manage Files
    .
  2. Locate the previously submitted file that you need to correct, highlight that row and then select the red
    X
     or
    Delete
    .
  3. Delete the individual client record(s) from the batch file by clicking the plus sign next to the file to expand the list of clients, select the single client or multiple client rows (use the CTRL key) and select
    Delete
    .
  4. Correct the problem in the rejected client.
  5. Reprocess the 1099 form(s) for the client.
  6. Create a new file in
    Process Internet/Magnetic
     files.
  7. Complete the process by uploading the new file via the IRS FIRE program.

W-2 files

The Social Security Administration accepts or rejects all of the clients in the batch file submission, even if there is only a problem with one client record.
  1. Correct the reported rejection.
  2. Re-process all clients included in the file again, select
    Yes
     to overwrite the client when prompted.
  3. Select the file batch and then
    Recreate Selected while in Manage
     files, located in
    Actions
    , then
    Process Internet/Magnetic
     files. Select
    Yes
     to overwrite the file.
  4. Select
    Done
    .
You can also follow this process:
  1. Remove the "rejected" client record by going into
    Actions
    , then
    Process Internet/Magnetic
     files and selecting
    Manage Files
    .
  2. Locate and expand the previously submitted file, and highlight the row that contains the Client ID of the file you need to correct.
  3. Delete the individual client record(s) from the batch file.
  4. Select
    Yes
     to proceed with removing the client.
  5. Select the same batch and then
    Recreate Selected
    .
  6. Select
    Yes
     to overwrite the file.
  7. Correct the reported rejection in the client(s).
  8. Reprocess the W2 form(s) for the rejected client(s).
  9. Create a new file for the rejected file in
    Actions
    , then
    Process Internet/Magnetic
     files.
  10. Select
    Create New
     when prompted.
You can then complete the filing process by uploading both file(s) to the Social Security Administration via AccuWage Online.

State forms

Because each state has a different process for year-end payroll tax forms, you will need to follow a process very similar to either the 1099 or W-2 sections above.
