AccuWage and W2Verify Software
The Social Security Administration website offers AccuWage, a tool to be used by the person preparing the EFW2 file to test the file's accuracy. Learn about this online-only tool by clicking here.
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. To test for the "RS" record, please download Baldwin Group's W2Verify program by right-clicking on this link.
