David Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Since it has been a year since I filed W-2s on the SSA BSO website, I looked for the instructions in the ATX knowledge base to see how to file W-2s. My search comes up empty. I know there are instructions somewhere because I knew how to do this last year. I stumbled through and I think I filed at least the federal w-2s on the BSO website. I selected the .ASC file and ran the accuwage test. All tests were successful. I received a confirmation from BSO that all my files were received. Is the .ASC file the correct one to send? What is the .ZIP file for? I am curious if that is the file I am supposed to send. When I ran accuwage tests on the .ZIP files, I received errors that don't make sense. Is my thinking correct that since I received a confirmation from BSO that my files were received, that I successfully filed the W-2s? Thanks for your help.

10SorTAX Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 This info might be too late to be helpful to you, but ATX Knowledge Base Document ID #1511 says to test the W2 using the .asc extension and then transmit using the .zip extension. Worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
