Running the 1099R Corrections Pre-Process

The 1099R Corrections Pre-Process archives employee information after year end corrections processing is complete. The corrected data that is archived as a result of running this process is used for producing any 1099-R corrected recipient returns. Note that in order for the 1099-R Corrections Pre-Process to run correctly you must have previously run the Year End Pre-Process.

Run the 1099R Corrections Pre-Process as a single concurrent request from the Submit Request window.

arrow icon   To run the 1099R Corrections Pre-Process:

  1. In the Name field, select 1099R Corrections Pre-Process.

  2. Enter the following parameters:

    1. Reporting Year: Select the year for which you are generating the corrected 1099-R forms. This is a mandatory parameter and will default to the prior tax reporting year.

    2. GRE Archived by Year End Pre-Process: This is the GRE whose data has been archived by the Year End Pre Process and for which Federal 1099R Magnetic Report has been run. This is also a mandatory parameter.

    3. Selection Criterion: Select to run the process by Employee Name, Social Security Number, or Assignment Set. This is also mandatory parameter.

    4. Employee Name, Social Security Number or Assignment Set: Based on the selection criterion chosen above, one of these three parameters will be enabled while the other two parameters are grayed out.

  3. Click OK and then Submit.

    You cannot roll back the Year End Pre-Process once you have run the 1099R Corrections Pre-Process for the same GRE and Tax Reporting Year without first rolling back the 1099-R Corrections Pre-Process. If you have already run this process for an employee and subsequently changed information prior to running the 1099-R Corrections PDF process, the employee in question will not be archived a second time. The message 'An unprinted Corrected 1099-R PDF exists' will appear in the log file along with the employee's name and social security number. To correct these situations, you can retry the 1099-R Corrections PDF process for the affected employees or run the 1099-R Corrections PDF every time you change an employee's record.
