Pennsylvania recently updated the file imports for their W-2 Employee Wage Records and 1099-MISC Distribution. These file imports are used by employers to report W-2 and 1099-MISC data to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. The changes made are as follows:

  • Employer W-2 Employee Wage Records: For the Fields “PA Income Tax Withheld”, “Taxable Compensation”, and “Gross Distribution”, the data format instructs filers they must not enter negative values.
  • 1099-MISC Distribution: For the fields “Rents”, “Royalties”, “Non-employee Compensation”, “PA State Income”, and “State Tax Withheld”, the data format instructs filers they must not enter negative values.

To review these changes and the data formats in full, please click on the links provided above.
