Running the IR8A File Process

You run the IR8A File to produce the file that includes your employees' earnings for a specific tax year and legal entity. The process also creates a report for you to view the contributions that are included in the file.

Note: The balances 366 and 367 are rounded up to the next Dollar in the file.

This process creates a control report listing. Confirm that this listing is the same as the one created when you ran the archive process.

You run this process from the Submit Requests window.
