Importing W2 Forms

 

CSV (comma separated value) is the most common format used in order to transfer data between different types of databases. Most software and database applications will allow you to export W2 and 1099 data into CSV format, which can then be imported into W2 Mate. If your software exports data to Microsoft Excel format, you can save the Excel file as CSV (Comma Delimited) and then do the import into W2 Mate.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: A SAMPLE CSV FILE WITH W2 DATA CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM HERE

 

Steps for Importing W2 Form Data

 

  1. Go to Import Data >> W2 Forms (CSV – Excel).
  2. In the dialog that comes up:

 

    1. Select the character that is used to separate data categories (columns). The default value should be OK in most cases.

 

 

 

    1. Select the character that is used to enclose strings. The default value should be OK in most cases.

 

 

 

    1. Select the input text or CSV file you are trying to import.

 

Important Note: The first row is expected to include header information and NOT data. The header should contain names corresponding to the fields (columns) in the file and should contain the same number of fields (columns) as the records in the rest of the CSV file.

 

Once you select the input file you should see a preview for the contents of the file.

Importing 1099-C Forms

 

CSV (comma separated value) is the most common format used in order to transfer data between different types of databases. Most software and database applications will allow you to export 1099 data into CSV format, which can then be imported into W2 Mate. If your software exports data to Microsoft Excel format, you can save the Excel file as CSV (Comma Delimited) and then do the import into W2 Mate.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: A SAMPLE CSV FILE WITH 1099-C DATA CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM HERE

 

Steps for Importing 1099-C Form Data

 

  1. Go to Import Data >> Other Forms (CSV – Excel) >> 1099-C Forms.
  2. In the dialog that comes up:

 

    1. Select the character that is used to separate data categories (columns). The default value should be OK in most cases.

 

 

 

    1. Select the character that is used to enclose strings. The default value should be OK in most cases.

 

 

 

    1. Select the input text or CSV file you are trying to import.

 

Important Note: The first row is expected to include header information and NOT data. The header should contain names corresponding to the fields (columns) in the file and should contain the same number of fields (columns) as the records in the rest of the CSV file.

 

Once you select the input file you should see a preview for the contents of the file.

 

 

 

    1. Map the data by clicking with the Left mouse on each of the columns.

 

 

    1. Once you have defined all the required fields, hit the Import button to import the new data.
