Errors refer to critical issues found in your forms that must be resolved before transmission. These errors often indicate discrepancies that could lead to potential audit issues with the IRS, SSA, or other relevant government agencies, if not addressed.

Any errors identified during the review must be fixed to continue with filing

 

Common errors

• Payer appears to be a Fortune 5000 company: The payer name you've entered matches a known Fortune 5000 business, which may raise authorization concerns if you're not directly affiliated. Learn more

• Excess wage amount (Form W-2):  The reported wages for one or more recipients are significantly higher than the usual limit. Learn more
