EMPLOYERS

The Social Security Administration

website offers a tool to be used by the

person preparing the EFW2 file to test

the file's accuracy. This download can be accessed by going to http://www.ssa.gov/employer/accuwage/

and choosing the "Download AccWage -2008 Tax Year" link. This link will download a setup file to the computer and, when executed, will install the Accuwage software on that machine.

This software will help the preparer determine if all the required elements are present in the file-with the exception of the "RS" record-which is the "extra" element required for a municipality's purposes. Please note, the "RS" record is defined by the Social Security Administration for use by municipalities.
