   To run the Local W-2 Magnetic Media report:

1. In the Name field , select Local W-2 Magnetic Media

2. Click in the Parameters field if the Parameters window does not automatically open.

3. In the Locality or Agency field, select the city or agency.

4. Enter the reporting year.

5. Select a Transmitter GRE.

   Enter the number assigned to the Employee who submits the W-2 Files in EFW2 format. This number is the same USERID obtained from the SSA.

7. Review the Resub WFID parameter.

   This is an optional field. Only enter a value if it is necessary to resubmit the Local Magnetic Media file. The appropriate tax agency will notify you if you need to resubmit. This notice provides the WFID number. Enter this value in the parameter when you resubmit the Local W-2 Magnetic Media process.

8. Review the Create Audit Report parameter.

   This parameter defaults to Yes to create and audit report with an .a03 extension. Typically you accept the default unless there are space constraints.

The appropriate line feeds or carriage returns are added to the magnetic file (mf) output without any manual intervention being required. If 'No' (default option) is selected, then the process will not fold the output file and all the records in magnetic file are generated in one continuous line.

10. Click OK, and then Submit.
