Introduction
End-of-Year Processing for the US: Overview
Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management for the United States provides a complete solution for endof-year processing. This consists of multiple steps, which you must complete in the correct order. For
organizations with multiple tax reporting units (TRUs), complete each phase for all TRUs in your
organization before proceeding to the next phase.
End-of-year processing entails the following activities:
1. Configuring for end-of-year
Before beginning your end-of-year reporting, ensure you have performed the following operations:
Form W-2 configuration
Calculation card configuration for each employee
Third-party tax filing interface configuration
2. Order Form W-2 paper stock.

For employees opting to receive paper delivery of their Form W-2s, Oracle Fusion configures these
forms to print on 4up perforated paper:
11
It is recommended you use paper stock with the employee instructions preprinted on the backside.
However, you may elect to print the instructions yourself.
The following vendors provide paper that supports Oracle Fusion's printing format:

3. Performing your quarter-end processing for the fourth quarter.

Use either the Quarter-to-Date Archive process or the Oracle Fusion Third-Party Tax Filing Interface
to generate the following tax reports:

4. Archiving your end-of-year payroll results.

5. Using the W-2 Register Report to validate your archived data.
13
No
6. Fixing any balance problems detected and rearchiving the year-end data.
7. Generating the year-end tax and wage reports:
Use the Run Third-Party Quarterly Tax Filing Extract task to submit your end-of-year data to your
third-party tax filing provider.
Note:
The Third-Party Quarterly Tax Filing Extract is not dependant on the year-end or quarter-end
archives.
Use the Run W-2 Employee Report process in Draft reporting mode to create sample Form W-2s
for report verification purposes.
Use the Run W-2 Employee Report in Final reporting mode to create your employees' W-2s. This
process creates the electronic forms published on the employees' Portrait Gallery as well as
printed forms for those employees who have opted for paper distribution.
Form W-2 Configuration

Form W-2 Configuration: Critical Choices
To ensure your employee W-2s are populated with correct and complete information, you must perform
configuration actions in the following areas:
Federal and state registrations
Tax reporting units
Custom employee roles
Balance feeds for W-2 boxes
W-2 box 14
W-2 document delivery preferences
Federal and State Registrations

Use the Manage Legal Reporting Unit Registrations task to ensure the following fields are populated for
each tax reporting unit (TRU):
Jurisdiction
Field Name
Description
14
United States Federal

Registration Number
Tax
<state> Income Tax
Employer's federal employer identification

number (FEIN).
Legal Entity Registration

Number
Employer's state employer identification number

(EIN).
Tax Reporting Units

To set W-2 information for your TRUs:
1. Start the Manage Legal Reporting Unit HCM Information task.
2. Under the Tax Reporting Unit tab, select the Federal link.
3. Under the Federal W-2 Reporting Rules Overrides section, specify the following values:
W-2 Portrait Publish Month
Specify the month when the employee can view

their W-2.
W-2 Portrait Publish Day
Specify the day when the employee can view

their W-2.

plan number.
Refer to the New Jersey Disability Insurance: Explained topic for more information.
5. Click Submit.
Custom Employee Roles

Employers creating custom employee roles must ensure they add the View US End of Year Tax Form
privilege. This privilege is attached to the US Employee Portrait Gallery duty role, which grants
employees access to the View US End of Year Tax Form task. Without it, they would not be able to view
their W-2 from Portrait.
Balance Feeds for W-2 Boxes

When defining and managing balances for W-2 Boxes, such as 12, 13, and 14, you must establish feeds
for any balance required for year-end reporting.
You must:
1. Use the Manage Balance Definitions task to establish balance feeds for all W-2 balances applicable
to your business. Every W-2 box has one or more balances that must be fed, such as:
Box
Label
Balance
Box 12
Code D
W2 401k
16
Box 13
Third-Party Sick Pay
W2 Third Party Sick Pay
Box 14
PA SUI
W2 Box 14B
Form W-2 box balances that begin with "W2" are not automatically fed. You must create the feeds
using the appropriate user-defined elements you have defined.
Refer to the "Form W-2 Box Information" topic for a list of W-2 boxes and the associated balances
you must feed.
2. Define balance feeds for any W-2 box 14 and box 12 balance you want to use.
For example, use the W2 Box 14B balance in conjunction with the Box 14 lookup code.
W-2 Box 14
You can configure Box 14 of the employee W-2 to display additional state-specific or user-defined
deductions, such as:
Maine Public Employees Retirement System contribution
Maryland state retirement pickup amount
New York domestic partner benefits
Pennsylvania employee state unemployment insurance (SUI)
To populate Box 14 for quarterly and year-end reporting:

1. Feed the appropriate W2 Box 14 balance.
Note:
For the New York domestic partner benefits contribution, you must use the W2 Box 14A balance and
Box 14A lookup code.
2. Use the Manage Common Lookups task to update the meaning of the corresponding lookup code of
the ORA_HRX_US_W2_BOX_14_USER_DFND lookup type.
Note:
Prior to the 8.11 patch bundle, this lookup type was titled US_W2 BOX 14 USER-DEFINED.
The text you type becomes the label text appearing on the W-2 Box 14.
Note:
Oracle Fusion automatically configures the feeds and Box 14 labels for the following state deductions. In
these cases, no user action is required.

W-2 Document Delivery Preferences

Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management for the United States can deliver Form W-2 to employees by
either paper or through their Portrait as a PDF file. When the employer runs the W-2 Employee Report
task, it automatically creates the PDF version and publishes it to the Documents of Record. For those
employees that have elected for print versions, the task creates a separate PDF file containing these
workers' Form W-2s, which the employer can print and distribute as needed. This file is returned as an
output of the ESS job.
18
Note:
These delivery settings also apply to Form W-2c.
W-2 print selection is specified through the following methods:
Print option defaults
Organization-level overrides
Employee print elections
Print Option Defaults
To specify the employer's default print options:

1. Start the Manage Document Types task.
2. Search for all United States document types.
3. Select W_2 in the Search Results.
4. In the Edit Document Type W_2 page, in the Document Type Information section, ensure the Enable
Document Delivery Preferences field is set to Yes.
5. Use the Override Hierarchy field to define the level at which your document overrides are applied.
The default is Payroll Hierarchy, which applies these changes at the legal entity level.
Note:
This field is available only if Enable Document Delivery Preferences is set to Yes.
6. In the Document Delivery Preferences section, check the settings and make changes as needed.
Field
Description
Delivery Method
Default delivery methods for your employees'

Form W-2. By default, the Online option is
deselected and Paper is selected.
The IRS mandates employees must provide
consent to receive digital versions of their Form
W-2s. The employee provides consent when
they use their Portrait Gallery to select online
delivery.
Note:
19
If you are out-sourcing the printing of your

employee Form W-2s to a third-party provider,
you may need to change these settings to satisfy
their requirements.
7. Use the fields in the Document Delivery Default Overrides for any areas that require overrides to
your defaults.
8. Click Submit.
Organization-Level Overrides
Use the Manage Document Types task to specify print overrides for specific payroll statutory units,
departments, or locations.
Employee Print Elections
If the employer allows their employees to specify their own print options, they can do so through the
Portrait Gallery.
In the Personal Information page, the Documentation section provides options for online and paper
preferences.
Note:
These delivery settings apply to Form W-2 and Form W-2c.
Refer to the IRS Publication 15-A (Employer's Supplemental Tax Guide, page 3 and 4) for further details.
Document Delivery Preferences Report
To view all overrides made to W-2 delivery settings, click View Document Delivery Preference Report.
The View Document Delivery Preferences Report page provides information on all overrides set at the
organization and person levels.
Document Delivery Preferences: Explained

You typically define delivery preferences for documents that are delivered periodically from employers
to workers, for example, payslips, or year end tax statements. You can select default delivery methods
for a document type, including online and paper, and specify other delivery related preferences. You set
these preferences using the Manage Document Types task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Online Delivery Consent

You can specify whether worker consent is required for delivering documents online-only. If you set the
Online Delivery Consent Required option to Yes and Initial Consent Granted to No, then the Delivery
20
Method is automatically selected as Paper and the option is disabled for edit; the option is automatically
deselected (while still disabled) when you set back Initial Consent Granted to No.
Overriding Default Preferences

You set default delivery preferences on the document type and override the preferences on associated
work structures. You can override default delivery preferences at various levels for a payroll statutory
unit (for payroll documents) or legal employer (for other document categories). These levels are
arranged in a hierarchy. For example, delivery preferences set for a location override those set for a
department and delivery preferences set for a department override those set for a legal employer. The
document type is at the highest level in the hierarchy. The default delivery preferences you specify for a
document type apply to all documents, if you do not override them at lower levels.
Person Level Overrides

You can enable persons to override the delivery preferences for their documents, in their portraits. The
delivery preferences that workers specify in their portraits override delivery preferences specified
elsewhere for the document type.
Calculation Card Configuration

Form W-2 Calculation Card Configuration: Critical Choices
Use the Manage Calculation Cards task to specify the required information on the following employee
cards:
Employee Withholding Certificate
Reporting Information
Employee Withholding Certificate

For statutory employees, you must set the following value on their Employee Withholding Certificates:
Field Name
Notes
Statutory
Employee
Identifies an independent contractor as an employee by statute.
21
Reporting Information
The Reporting Information card provides additional information for employee-level state and federal
reporting.
The Federal calculation component is provided by default when you create the card. Under the
Reporting Information calculation component details, you may need to set the following field:
Field Name
Notes
Eligible for
Retirement Plan
Employee eligibility for employer-sponsored retirement plans is based on a

combination of the amounts fed to specific balances and the kind of retirement
plan in which the employees are participating. In some cases, you must
manually select this value to Yes to ensure proper reporting on Form W-2.
Refer to W-2 Box 13 Retirement Plan Eligibility: Critical Choices for details.
Form W-2 Box 13 Retirement Plan Eligibility: Critical Choices

W-2 Box 13 indicates whether or not the employee is eligible for retirement plan contributions.
An employee is eligible based on the following criteria:
Any of the following balances have a value greater than zero for the employee:
W2 401k
W2 403b
W2 408k
W2 501c
W2 Pension Plan
W2 Roth 401k
W2 Roth 403b
The type of plan in question and the employee's participation in it.
In most cases, Oracle Fusion accurately determines plan eligibility for Box 13. However, in some cases,
the employer must manually select the Eligible for Retirement Plan box on the employee's Reporting
Information card to enforce proper eligibility reporting. Refer to the subsections below for details.
22
Defined Benefit Plan

For defined benefit plans (such as traditional pension plans), the employee is eligible for the retirement
plan if they qualify for employer funding into the plan, such as due to their age or years of service.
Note:
They are eligible even if they are not vested or ever collect benefits.
In cases where the employee is eligible, but their W2 Pension Plan balance is not greater than zero, you
must manually set the Eligible for Retirement Plan option on the employee's Reporting Information card
to Yes.
Defined Contribution Plan

For defined contribution plans (such as 401 (k), 403 (b), Roth 401 (k), Roth 403 (b), but not 457), the
employee is eligible for the retirement plan if all of the following are true:
The employee is eligible to contribute to the plan.
Either the employee or the employer has contributed funds to the plan during the current tax year.
Note:
This applies to contributions made for current tax year only. Contributions made during previous
years are not considered, even if the employee's account value grows due to gains in the
investments.
Refer to the following table for instructions on when the employer must manually enforce eligibility
through the employee's Reporting Information card:

it may be difficult and time consuming to update the Reporting Information card for every employee.
Instead, if you are not already using the W2 Pension Plan balance, feed your employer match element to
23
the balance. This results in the automatic selection of the W-2 Box 13 Retirement Plan box, and no
Reporting Information card configuration is required.
Third-Party Tax Filing Interface Configuration

Tax-Filing Setup for US ADP Transporter: Critical Choices
The following assumptions and configuration requirements exist for the Third-Party Quarterly Tax Filing
Extract:
ADP Configuration
Organizations and Locations
Balance Management
Reporting Information Card
Optional Configuration
ADP Configuration
Prior to running your first extract, if you are a new user to ADP Transporter, you must establish a feed
with ADP prior to any attempt to extract.
Organizations and Locations

When setting up your organizations and locations, you need to consider the following:
For locations in participating states:

1. Start the Manage Locations task.
2. Specify the Employer Unit Number under the United States Unemployment Reporting
Information section.
This value will be a three, four, or five digit number, depending on the state. Currently this is
required for New Mexico, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Iowa, and Michigan.
For Oracle Fusion tax reporting units (TRUs):
They are considered companies by ADP. The extract output file can include multiple batches,
each representing a TRU.
For each TRU, use the Manage Legal Reporting Unit Registrations to define the United States
Federal Tax jurisdiction. (Periodic reporting only)
24
Enter the employer client ID number provided by ADP into the Fusion system:
1. Start the Manage Legal Reporting Unit HCM task.
2. Enter the employer client ID in the Client Identifier field in the Third-Party Interfaces context at
the Federal level.
This ID cannot be more than 14 characters long.
For California, you must provide the employees' Wage Plan Code.
o
At the payroll statutory unit (PSU) level, use the Manage Legal Entity HCM Information task.
At the TRU level, use the Manage Legal Reporting Unit HCM Information task. Enter the value in
the Wage Plan Code field at the Regional level.
The value you enter at TRU level overrides the value for the PSU. Both can be overridden for
individual employees on the reporting card.
For New Jersey, you must indicate your family leave insurance plan and disability plan types, and if
you are opting for private plans, provide the plan numbers. Use the Manage Legal Reporting Unit
HCM Information task to specify these values at the Regional level. If private plans are used, the
plan numbers are displayed on the employee W-2.
Balance Management
When setting up balances, consider the following:
When defining and managing balances, you must establish feeds for any balance you want to pass
on the file.
For a list of W-2 balances required for end-of-year reporting, refer to the Form W-2 Box Information
reference topic.
In addition to the W-2 balances, the following non-W-2 balances can also be passed on the file:
o
Employer-Subsidized Meals
Moving Expenses Paid to Third-Parties
Qualified Transportation
Sick Pay Wages

Quarter-End Processing
Quarter-End Processing for the US: Explained
Quarter-end processing consists of the archival of data and the generation and submission of statutory
reports. When run during the fourth quarter, you may include them as part of your end-of-year
processing.
Elements of quarter-end processing are:
Quarterly Tax Reports
Quarter-to-Date Archive
Oracle Fusion Third-Party Tax Filing Interface
Other Quarterly Reports
Quarterly Tax Reports

Use either the Quarter-to-Date Archive process or the Oracle Fusion Third-Party Tax Interface to

Quarter-to-Date Archive
The Quarter-to-Date Archive is a payroll process that archives employee, employer, and tax data for a
quarterly tax period. Based on the selected payroll statutory unit or tax reporting unit, it captures data
for the following payroll actions:
R (Run)
Q (QuickPay)
B (Balance adjustment)
I (Balance initialization)
V (Reversal)
The Quarter-to-Date Archive uses the US State Quarter-to-Date Archive extract definition to gather this
information. Once completed, you can generate your reports from the Regulatory and Tax Reporting
work area.
Oracle Fusion Third-Party Tax Filing Interface

For employers using a third-party provider to generate and submit their tax reports (such as ADP
Transporter), Oracle has provided the Oracle Fusion Third-Party Tax Filing Interface. Use this to extract
your employee, employer, and tax data to an output file and submit it to your third-party provider for
report processing, generation, and submission.
Note:
You do not need to run the Quarter-to-Date Archive prior to using this interface.
Other Quarterly Reports

The following reports can be run on a periodic or, at a minimum, quarterly basis. They are not
dependent on the data gathered by the Quarter-to-Date Archive:
30
Name
Description
Provides information on total amounts paid for the various levels of your
Statutory Deduction
organization for each payroll period. Used for payroll verification, validation, and
Register Report
auditing purposes.
Gross-to-Net
Summary
Provides totals for the results calculated from payroll runs and payroll reversals
by elements of pay.
Run after each payroll run or, at the minimum, on a quarterly basis.
Year-End Archive
Archiving Year-End Data for the US: Explained
For the purposes of reporting taxes and wages to the federal, state, and local governments, Oracle
Fusion Human Capital Management for the United States provides the Archive End-of-Year Payroll
Results process. This process captures all employee balances for a given year and tax reporting unit
(TRU) and archives them for year-end reporting.
Note:
When using the Third-Party Tax Filing Interface to submit your year-end data for reporting, you do not
need to run the quarter-end or year-end archive. The interface is not dependent on archived data.
The year-end data archival process consists of:
1. Running the Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results process.
2. Validating the archived data.
Once you have validated your data, you can run the W-2 Employee Report task to generate the
employee Form W-2s.
How do I archive changes I made to my payroll relationship?

If the payroll relationship was archived in a previous run, this data is not archived again. In order to
retrieve newly changed data for the payroll relationship, it may be necessary to retry the payroll
relationship in the previous run.
31
End-of-Year Archive Validation for the US: Explained

Before you produce your end-of-year reports, run the following audits against the data captured by the
Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results process:
Report
Description
W-2 Register Report
Used for preprint verification, balance verification,

and exception verification. Depending on
configuration, it can provide:
Employee details
Tax reporting unit totals
Employee exceptions
Depending upon the output of this report, you may have to make adjustments to various balances.
Year-End Tax and Wage Reports

End-of-Year Tax and Wage Reports for the US: Explained
Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management for the United States provides support for the generation of
the following mandatory federal and state end-of-year reports.
EFW2 File
This is the file all employers submit electronically to the Social Security Administration (SSA), state,
county, and city authorities.
To report the W-2 information to the SSA, employers must use the Oracle Fusion Third-Party Quarterly
Tax Filing Extract. This extract generates and submits the tax information to a third-party reporting
provider, such as ADP, and they forward it to the proper tax authorities.
EFW2c File
This is the file submitted to the SSA if changes or corrections were made subsequent to the submission
of employee tax information to the SSA or third-party tax filing provider. It includes details on the
changes made to a previously reported W-2 or W-2c.
To report the W-2c information to the SSA, employers must run the Oracle Fusion Third-Party Quarterly
Tax Filing Extract. This extract generates an updated tax information file suitable for submission to a
32
third-party reporting provider, such as ADP, and they will determine what changes were made and file
the proper amended tax returns.
W-2 Employee Report

This is the tax form distributed to the employee at year-end. It includes details of the earnings and taxes
paid by the employee for a given year. The Run W-2 Employee Report task creates a PDF document
based on archived data and stores it in the Documents of Record.
Employees can view their Form W-2 through their Employee Portrait. They can also elect to receive a
printed copy.
Managers and professional users can access employee W-2s through the Documents of Record task.
W-2c Employee Report

This is the corrected tax form distributed to the employee if changes or corrections were made
subsequent to the submission of their tax information to the SSA or third-party tax filing provider. It
includes details on the changes made to the previously reported W-2 or W-2c.
The W-2c Archive Process archives the changes to the tax information, and the W-2c Employee Report
creates the Form W-2c based on that information.
Employees can view their Form W-2c through their Employee Portrait. They can also elect to receive a
printed copy.
Managers and professional users can access employee W-2cs through the Documents of Record task.
Third-Party Tax Filing: Explained

Business outsourcing solutions providers such as ADP can perform wage direct deposits, print W-2s, file
federal, state, and local taxes, and perform quarter-end and year-end reporting for their customers.
Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management for the United States provides a tax filing interface for
customers who choose to use such a third-party provider. This interface extracts all relevant payroll data
into an output file appropriate for third-party provider, so that you can submit it for processing.
This third-party interface supports three reporting intervals for tax filing:
Quarterly
Monthly
Periodic
All tasks are run from the Regulatory and Tax Reporting work area.
33
Quarterly Reporting
This extract uses payroll data to file quarter-end and year-end returns and, optionally, to print employee
W-2s. Use the Run Third-Party Quarterly Tax Filing Extract task to extract the payroll data to an output
file. This task includes employees with any action for the entire year, so year-to-date balances are
always included, even if no transaction occurred in the quarter being reported.
Monthly Reporting
This extract uses payroll data to file monthly state unemployment wages and taxes. Use the Run ThirdParty Monthly Tax Filing Extract task to extract the payroll data to an output file.
Currently, Illinois is the only state requiring this reporting.
Periodic Reporting
This extract uses payroll data captured by the periodic archive process to report tax liabilities on an asneeded basis.
To run the periodic archive:
1. Use the Run Third-Party Periodic Tax Filing Extract task to extract the payroll data to an output file.
2. When selecting data for extract, use overlapping dates to ensure all appropriate payroll data is
captured.
Note:
The periodic extract file does not pass any year-to-date withheld amounts, so employers in Missouri
must apply for their tax credit directly from the Missouri tax authority.
Running the Third-Party Tax Interface: Worked Examples

Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management for the United States provides a tax filing interface for
customers who choose to out source their tax filing through ADP Transporter.
This third-party interface supports three reporting intervals for tax filing:
Quarterly
Monthly
Periodic
Note:
The Fusion application must be properly configured for tax interface reporting prior to running any
extract. Refer to Tax-Filing Setup for US ADP Transporter: Critical Choices, above.
34
Quarterly Tax Reporting

This extract uses payroll data to file quarterly and annual returns and, optionally, to print employee W2s. Use the Run Third-Party Quarterly Tax Filing Extract task to extract the payroll data to an output file.
This task includes employees with any action for the entire year, so year-to-date balances are always
included, even if no transaction occurred in the quarter being reported.
1. From the Manage Regulatory and Tax Reporting work area, select the Run Third-Party Quarterly Tax
Filing Extract job for submission.
2. Specify the following values.
Field Name
Description
Extract Tax Quarter The quarter you wish to report upon. Enter 3 for the third quarter.
Extract Tax Year
The 4-digit year you wish to report upon. Enter 2011.
3. Submit the process.

4. Review the audit report for totals sent on the file.
5. Upload the tax file to ADP Transporter.
Monthly Tax Reporting

For those states that require monthly reporting, this extract uses payroll data to report state
unemployment wages and taxes on a monthly basis. Use the Run Third-Party Monthly Tax Filing Extract
task to extract the payroll data to an output file. Currently, Illinois is the only state requiring this
reporting.
Note:
You do not need to generate this extract on months when you are creating the quarterly extract.
1. From the Manage Regulatory and Tax Reporting work area, select the Run Third-Party Monthly Tax
Field Name Description
35
Month
The month you wish to report upon. Enter 2 for February.
Year
The 4-digit year you wish to report upon. Enter 2011.
3. Submit the process.

4. Review the audit report for totals sent on the file.
Periodic Tax Reporting

This extract uses payroll data captured by the periodic archive process to report tax liabilities on an asneeded basis. Use the Run Third-Party Periodic Tax Filing Extract task to extract the payroll data to an
output file.
1. Run the necessary prerequisites for the Periodic Archive process (such as, payroll and prepayments).
2. Run the Periodic Archive process.
3. From the Manage Regulatory and Tax Reporting work area, select the Run Third-Party Periodic Tax
Field Name
Description
Periodic Extract Start

Date
Start date of the reporting period. Enter 3/1/2011.
Periodic Extract End Date
End date of the reporting period. Enter either 3/15/2011 or

3/31/2011.
5. Submit the process. Upon successful completion, two output files are created: the tax file and an
audit report.
6. Review the Audit report for totals sent on the file.
The extract file contains columns for both male and female employees. The Periodic extract does
not use the Male count, and values in this column are always zero. The Female column represents
the total count of all employees.
36
Troubleshooting the Tax-Filing Interface: Examples

The Oracle Fusion Tax-Filing Interface keeps no records of what files you send to your business
outsourcing solutions provider or when you send them. It is up to you to ensure the accuracy of the
Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management for the United States data you capture and upload to your
provider. The data maintained in Fusion must remain your source of truth.
Correcting Data After Periodic Archive Processing

For periodic tax filing, if you find an error in your payroll data after you have run the periodic archive,
but before you have submitted the extract process, you must:
1. Roll back the periodic archive.
2. Correct your information.
3. Rerun the archive process.
4. Run the tax-filing extract process.
Correcting Data Before Upload

In this case, you need to make corrections to your payroll data, but you have already generated the
extract file. If you have not yet uploaded the file to your provider, you must:
1. For periodic tax filing, roll back the tax-filing extract process and the periodic archive.
Note:
This assumes you have not run any post processes that are dependent on the periodic archive (such
as the payslip).
2. Correct your information.
3. For periodic tax filing, rerun the periodic archive process (periodic tax filing only).
4. Run the tax-filing extract process.
Correcting Data After Upload

Once you have uploaded your tax-filing extract to your provider, you must work with them to resolve
issues and correct any errors. You must also ensure all corrections are reflected in the data maintained
in Fusion.
37
Periodic Extract Employee Count Columns

The values of the Male and Female employee count columns in the Periodic extract file may appear
incorrect. The extract does not use the Male count, so values in this column are always zero. The Female
column represents the total count of all employees.
ADP Rejects Extract Output File

If ADP rejects the output file due to invalid formatting, check the file for blank rows. If blank rows exist,
download and save the extract from Oracle Fusion using a different browser other than Internet
Explorer 9.0.
Updating Year-End Tax Data: Examples

In the course of preparing and processing your year-end tax data for reporting, if you determine that
changes or corrections are needed, how you uptake those changes into your year-end reports depends
on where you are in the process:
After year-end archive
After draft employee Form W-2 generation
After final employee Form W-2 generation
After employee Form W-2 distribution
After third-party tax-filing vendor's submission deadline
After Year-End Archive

If you make changes to your employee data subsequent to running the year-end archive, you can
update the archive, assuming:
You haven't generated the Form W-2 by running the Run W-2 Employee Report process
Your third-party tax-filing vendor's deadline for accepting 4th quarter tax files has not yet passed
To do this:
1. Make your changes to the tax data.
2. Roll back and rerun the Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results process to capture your changes.
3. Run the W-2 Register report to review your year-end data.
4. Use the Run W-2 Employee Report process to create your employee W-2s.
38
5. If you have not already done so, use the Third-Party Quarterly Tax Filing Extract to process your tax
data and submit the 4th quarter tax file to your vendor.
If you have already submitted the file, you must resolve the tax data changes with the vendor.
Depending on the data changed and the scope of the change, options include:
In most cases, you can regenerate a 4th quarter tax file and submit to the provider. The vendor
will determine what changes were made and submit file EFW2 to the appropriate agencies.
For corrections to data that is not passed in the tax file, such as registration IDs, contact the
vendor to determine the best action.
After Draft Employee Form W-2 Generation

The Run W-2 Employee Report process provides a Draft mode so you can create sample Form W-2s for
testing and verification purposes. As this mode is for testing only, it is assumed:
You have successfully run the Run W-2 Employee Report process in Draft mode.
You haven't issued the draft Form W-2s to your employees.
Your third-party tax-filing vendor's deadline for accepting 4th quarter tax files has not yet passed.
After reviewing these reports, if you determine that changes are necessary:
2. Roll back the Run W-2 Employee Report process.
3. Roll back the Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results process.
4. Rerun the archive to capture your updated data.
6. Run the Run W-2 Employee Report process:
You have successfully run the Run W-2 Employee Report process in Draft mode.
If you feel additional checks may be necessary, run this process in Draft mode again and repeat
your review.
If you are certain the Form W-2 is ready for employee distribution, run this process in Final
mode and distribute the forms to your employees.
39
After Final Employee Form W-2 Generation

If changes to your year-end tax data are necessary after you have run the Run W-2 Employee Report
process in Final mode, you can update the forms with the changes, assuming:
You haven't issued the Form W-2 to your employees.
Your third-party tax-filing vendor's deadline for accepting 4th quarter tax files has not yet passed.
To do this:
3. Roll back the Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results process.
4. Rerun the archive to capture your updated data.
6. Run the Run W-2 Employee Report process.
If you feel additional checks may be necessary, run this process in Draft mode and repeat your
review.
40
After Employee Form W-2 Distribution

If changes to your year-end tax data are necessary, and you have already generated and issued the
employee W-2s, you must create Form W-2c to report the new tax data.
To do this:
2. Create and issue the W-2cs to your employees.
3. Employers using the Third-Party Quarterly Tax Filing Extract to process their tax data through a third
party must resolve the data error with the vendor. Depending on the data changed and the scope of
the change, options include:
In most cases, the employer must rerun the 4th quarter tax file and submit to the third-party
provider. The vendor will determine what changes were made and submit file EFW2c to the
appropriate agencies.
In cases where only one employee is impacted, an amendment may be possible. Contact the
After Third-Party Tax-Filing Vendor's Submission Deadline

If the deadline for submitting tax files to your vendor has passed, you will no longer be able to update
the EFW2 file or employee Form W-2s with new information. Instead, you must create Form W-2c to
report the changes.
To do this:
2. Generate and submit an updated 4th quarter file to your vendor. They will determine what changes
were made and file the proper amended returns to the appropriate agencies.
3. Create and issue the W-2cs to your employees.
Troubleshooting Year-End Tax Data for the US: Examples

When archiving your year-end data and generating the files and forms, you may encounter the following
conditions.
41
Changed Payroll Relationship Data Missing in Archive

If the payroll relationship was archived in a previous run, this data is not archived again. In order to
retrieve newly changed data for the payroll relationship, it may be necessary to retry the payroll
relationship in the previous run.
Form W-2 Displays Employee Name and Social Security Number Display as Blanks
If you have issued W-2s to the Social Security Administration (SSA) where one or more employee names
or Social Security Numbers are blank or missing, you must contact the SSA for instructions on resolution.
Do not use Form W-2c for this kind of correction.
Form W-2 Displays Incorrect Employee Address

In cases where W-2s were submitted to the SSA with incorrect employee addresses, the employer has
the following options:
Issue a Form W-2c to the employee that shows the correct address in box i and all other correct
information.
Reissue the Form W-2 with the incorrect address to the employee in an envelope showing the
correct address or otherwise deliver it to the employee.
There is no requirement to submit an EFW2c file to the SSA.

Note:
For employers using the Third-Party Quarterly Tax Filing Extract to manage their year-end reporting
through ADP, ADP sends any corrected information to the SSA electronically.
Form W-2 Displays Incorrect Tax Year

If the incorrect tax year was reported on your employee W-2s, proceed with the normal W-2c process.
When you do so, the application creates two Form W-2cs for distribution to the employee:
First Form W-2c:

W-2c Box Label
Data Entered
Box c
Tax year as it was reported in the original Form

W-2 or W-2c.
Previously Reported
Money amounts as they were reported in the

original Form W-2 or W-2c.
42
Correct Information
All values filled with zeros.
Second Form W-2c:

W-2c Box Label
Data Entered
Box c
Correct tax year.
Previously Reported
Correct Information

Incorrect Employer Identification Number on W-2

If the incorrect employer identification number (EIN) was reported on your employee W-2s, proceed
with the normal W-2c process. When you do so, the application creates two Form W-2cs for distribution
to the employee:
First Form W-2c:

W-2c Box Label
Data Entered
Box b
Federal EIN as it was reported in the original

Form W-2 or W-2c.
Previously Reported

Correct Information
Second Form W-2c:

W-2c Box Label
Data Entered
Box b
Employer's correct federal EIN.
43
Previously Reported
Correct Information

Correcting Form W-2 Data: Decision Support

When changes to tax data are necessary, you have the following options on how to report them,
depending on the timing of the changes:
Updated Form W-2
Form W-2c
Updated fourth quarter tax file
Updating Employee W-2

If you have not yet issued Form W-2 to your employees, and the deadline for submitting your year-end
tax file to your third-party tax-filing vendor has not yet passed, you can simply update and regenerate
your employee W-2:
2. Rollback the Run W-2 Employee Report process.
3. Roll back and rerun the Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results process to capture your changes.
If your changes impact relatively few employees, you can instead perform a retry of the archive
against the selected people.
4. Retry the archive to capture your updated data.
Run it in Draft mode if you want to perform additional checks before distribution. Run it in Final
mode if you are ready for employee distribution.
44
Creating Form W-2c

If you made changes or corrections to your year-end tax data after having sent the electronic data files
to the Social Security Administration (SSA) or a third-party tax filing provider, you must create and issue
Form W-2c to report the new data. Form W-2c reports changes to:
Form W-2
Previous Form W-2c
To create Form W-2c:

1. Make the necessary data changes in the Oracle Fusion application.
2. Run the W-2c Archive Process to archive the data changes.
3. Run the W-2c Employee Report to generate Form W-2c suitable for issuing to the employee
electronically or by print.
Note:
The delivery method used is the same as for Form W-2.
4. Use the Third-Party Quarterly Tax Filing Extract to create an updated 4th quarter data file, and
submit it to the third-party tax filing vendor.
Updating Fourth Quarter Tax File

Employers using the Third-Party Quarterly Tax Filing Extract to process their tax data through a third
party must send an updated 4th quarter tax file to the vendor.
The vendor determines what changes were made, and depending on whether their deadline for
accepting updated tax files has passed, they submit either file EFW2 or EFW2c to the appropriate
agencies.
Year-Begin Preparation
Begin-of-Year Processing for the US: Explained
Your begin-of-year preparations involve the follow tasks:
45
Federal Tax Exemptions and Allowances
Indiana County Taxes
Occupational or Head Tax Exemptions
State Unemployment Insurance Rate Updates
Payroll Definition Updates
Legislative Limit Confirmation
Federal Tax Exemptions and Allowances

Employees use the Manage Tax Withholding task from their Portrait to specify their W-4 exemptions
and allowances. As their federal tax exemption status expires after a year, they must submit new Form
W-4s by the IRS deadline to renew them.
You may need to issue reminders to your employees to renew their exemptions.
Note:
You must manually update each federal tax exemption. The application does not automatically end date
exemptions that are allowed to expire.
To update an employee's exemptions based on their W-4:
1. Start the Manage Calculation Cards task.
2. Search for the relevant employee, and select their Employee Withholding Certificate.
3. Select Federal in the Calculation Card Overview section.
4. Specify the proper effective date.
5. Click Action, and select Update.
6. Specify the appropriate exemptions.
7. Update the number of allowances if they have changed.
8. Save and submit your changes.
Indiana County Taxes

For employees working or living in Indiana, you must specify their resident and work counties as of
January 1 on their tax card. Any changes to their addresses must be reflected on the card before you run
the first payrolls of the calendar year.
46
To specify the Indiana work or residence county for individual employees:

3. Select Regional and then IN in the Calculation Card Overview section.
6. Specify the following parameters:
Indiana County of Principal Employment as of
January 1
Select the county in which the employee has

been employed as of January 1.
Indiana County of Residence as of January 1
Select the county in which the employee has

been living as of January 1.
7. Submit your changes.

Note:
You can opt to use Batch Loader functionality to update large numbers of employees.
Occupational or Head Tax Exemptions

Employees working in states with annual occupational or head taxes may seek exemption (such as the
Pennsylvania Local Services Tax). If granted, they must provide you with their paperwork at the

Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results
For the purposes of reporting taxes and wages to the federal, state, and local governments, Oracle
Fusion Global Payroll provides the Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results process. This process captures all
employee balances for a given year and tax reporting unit (TRU) and archives them for year-end
reporting. Running this process is a prerequisite to generating end-of-year tax forms, such as the US
Form W-2.
From the Regulatory and Tax Reporting work area, start the Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results ESS job.
Prerequisites
Ensure you have properly configured the federal and state registrations through the Manage Legal
Reporting Unit Registrations task.
Ensure you have used the Manage Legal Reporting Unit HCM Information task to properly configure the
W-2 information for each of your TRUs.
Ensure you have used the Manage Balance Definitions task to configure the balance feeds for your W-2
boxes.
Ensure you have properly configured your employees' Employee Withholding Certificate and Reporting
Information cards through the Manage Calculation Cards task.
Ensure you have provided the following values for each employee:
Full name

Process Retry
Archives changed, new, or otherwise unarchived data for the selected employees.
Process Rollback
There are instances where rerun or retry is not possible, such as if you ran the Archive End-of-Year
Payroll Results process before all payroll processes had completed. In these cases, the data in the
archive is not valid. To resolve you must perform a rollback operation.
When you roll back the Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results process, all archived data is removed from
the Oracle Fusion database. Rolling back and re-running the Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results process
reruns the process and recreates the archive completely.
Use the Roll Back Process from the Payroll Checklists work area.
51
Data Locks
The archived data is locked by processes you run subsequently, such as the Run W-2 Employee Report.
Once locked, that data cannot be changed through either retry or rollback of the archive, without first
rolling back the locking processes.
Note:
Take care when rolling back the locking processes. If the W-2 has already been distributed to the
employee or the electronic files submitted to the government authorities, additional steps are
required.
Run Quarter-to-Date Archive

The Run Quarter-to-Date Archive process archives employee, employer, and tax data for a quarterly tax
period.
Once archived, this data is available for use in quarterly statutory reporting, such as the Multiple
Worksite Report.
The process archives the data for each payroll relationship within all the states for the selected payroll
statutory unit (PSU) or tax reporting unit (TRU). Data affected by the following payroll actions is eligible
for archival:

This archive stores the data for individual employees in the PAY_ACTION_INFORMATION table. This data
can be viewed in the Person Process Results page.
Process Rerun
Rerun the archive process whenever you need to capture any new or changed information for one or
more employees. The process does not rearchive data that has been archived by a previous run.
Process Rollback
There are instances where rerun or retry is not possible, such as if you ran the Quarter-to-Date Archive
process before all payroll processes had completed. In these cases, the data in the archive is not valid.
To resolve you must perform a rollback operation.
When you roll back the Quarter-to-Date Archive process, all archived data is removed from the Oracle
Fusion database. Rolling back and re-running the Quarter-to-Date Archive process reruns the process
and recreates the archive completely.
Use the Roll Back Process from the Payroll Checklists work area.

Run W-2 Employee Report

This process creates the Form W-2 Employee Report from the data archived by the Archive End-of-Year
Payroll Results process.
Note:
This process creates the employee W-2 only. For the federal, state, and local EFW2 files, employers
must use the Oracle Fusion Third-Party Quarterly Tax Filing Extract to create and submit their 4th
quarter file to their third-party tax filing provider.
When run, this process locks the appropriate data in the year-end archive.
From the Regulatory and Tax Reporting work area, start the Run W-2 Employee Report ESS job.
Prerequisites
You must have successfully run the Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results process.
Ensure you have specified your default W-2 print preferences through the Manage Document Types
task.
Run the W-2 Register report to identify any employees with exceptions.
Report Parameters

default is No.
Based on this parameter's settings, you have the option of printing on:
Purchased paper stock with employee instructions already printed on the back
Black paper stock

55
Payroll Relationship Group
The W-2 print process includes all employees with archived data in the selected TRU. However, if you
wish to limit that list further, select an appropriate payroll relationship group.
For example, you can create a group to process all employees within a specific city or county or to
process a single employee.
Note:
You must use the Manage Object Groups task to define the payroll relationship group before you
can select it here.

Reporting Mode
The testing status of the Form W-2s.

Select Draft to create a draft of this report for data verification purposes.
Select Final to generate the final version of the report. The report process automatically publishes a
copy of the W-2 to the Documents of Record. You must run this process as Final at least once for yearend reporting.
Note:
This process performs the locking actions on the data regardless of the setting you choose here. If
you detect errors in your draft report, you must roll back this process before correcting the data and
regenerating the report.
Report Output
This report produces the following output:
Employee Form W-2
Form W-2 suitable for issuing to employees.

The individual employee forms are stored as PDF
files in the Documents of Records and are viewable
through the employees' Portrait Gallery.
56
Print File
A single master PDF file that contains all Form W2s marked for print delivery. This file is sorted by:
1. PSU

Post-Generation Operations
Reporting Mode
To ensure your employee Form W-2s include the correct information, run this process in Draft mode at
least once and review the output carefully. Once you have confirmed your forms are accurate, roll back
this process and rerun it in Final mode.
Your employee Form W-2s are not published for the Documents of Record until you run this process in
Final mode.
Viewing Form W-2
The Employee Form W-2 is viewable in two areas:

58
Fusion Work Area
Description
Documents of Record
Documents of Record stores each employee's W-2

as a PDF file.
Employee Portrait Gallery
Employees can view their W-2s through their

Portrait Gallery by selecting View End-of-Year Tax
Form in the Actions menu. Employee W-2s are
available in the Gallery after the publication date
specified through the W-2 Portrait Publish fields
on the TRU.
Note:
Custom employee roles must include the View US End of Year Tax Form privilege. This privilege is
attached to the US Employee Portrait Gallery duty role, which grants employees access to the View US
End of Year Tax Form task. Without it, employees would not be able to view their W-2 from Portrait.
Rolling Back the Process
If you have run this process in Draft mode and are ready to create the final employee copies, or if
changes to your year-end tax data are necessary subsequent to your running the final report, and you
haven't yet issued it to your employees or submitted your 4th quarter tax file to your third-party taxfiling vendor, you must roll back and rerun this process to regenerate your employee W-2s to include
the updates.
To do this:
3. Roll back and rerun the Archive End-of-Year Payroll Results process to capture your updated data.
If you changes impact relatively few employees, you can instead perform a retry of the archive
against the selected people.
If you feel additional checks may be necessary, run this process in Draft mode and repeat your
review.
59
Printing Form W-2
Employers can define default print preferences for form W-2 through the Manage Document Types task,
with overrides set at subordinate organization levels. Employees can provide their personal print
preference overrides through their Portrait Gallery.

Appendix B: EOY Reference Information

Employee Work State: How Is It Determined?
For US state-issued taxes, such as unemployment insurance and disability insurance, Oracle Fusion
HRMS (US) must determine the employee's state of employment.
How the Work State Is Determined

Oracle Fusion uses the following hierarchy based on the employee's primary assignment associated with
the tax reporting unit (TRU):
1. If the employee is designated as work-at-home, Oracle Fusion uses the state on the residence tax
address.
2. If there is a work address override, it uses the state identified on the override.
3. If the employee's location has a work location tax override, it uses the state identified on the
override.
4. Else, it uses the state identified on the assignment for the work location.
Note:
If there is no primary assignment associated with the TRU, Oracle Fusion applies this hierarchy to
the assignment with the lowest assignment ID that is associated with the TRU.
68
Indiana County Taxation: How Is It Determined?

Employees working or living in Indiana, may be subject to Indiana county taxation. Use the Manage
Calculation Cards task to specify the EE's Indiana county of residence or employment as of January 1.
These values must be up-to-date before you run the first payrolls of the calendar year.
How the County Taxation is Determined

For the purposes of determining Indiana county tax eligibility, the following hierarchy is used based on
the employee's residence or work county:
1. As of January 1, if the employee is living in an Indiana county that has adopted a county income tax,
then they are subject to that county's resident tax rate on their earnings for the rest of the year or
until they are no longer an Indiana resident.
2. If the county in which the employee lived has not adopted a county income tax, then they are
subject to the nonresident tax rate of the county in which they were employed on January 1 of the
current tax year.
3. If the employee moves to, or works in, another Indiana county after January 1, their county status
does not change until the next calendar tax year.
4. If the employee moves to, or works in, a state other than Indiana, they are no long subject to
Indiana taxes.

Pennsylvania Local Services Tax: Explained

Employees working in Pennsylvania are subject to the state's annual Local Services Tax (LST). This tax is
withheld based on employment location, for both Pennsylvania residents and nonresidents working in
Pennsylvania.
Employees can request an upfront exemption to the LST by submitting the appropriate paperwork to
both the political subdivision levying the tax and the employer. Approved exemptions are implemented
on the person's Employee Withholding Certificate card. This exemption is good for one calendar year.
Refer to Pennsylvania's employment agency for complete information.
