W-2 Boxes

The W-2 Boxes list in the left side of the window shows selected boxes on Form W-2. Each of these boxes is designed to provide wage and deduction information that must be supplied by employers. If your company must provide W-2 information in any of these boxes, select the appropriate box and then use the "Select Box Categories" list to choose the wage and deduction categories that should appear in that box. All other boxes required on Form W-2 are automatically prepared by MYOB AccountEdge.

Select [box and line] Categories

The "Select [box and line] Categories" list on the right side of the window allows you to select the payroll categories for which amounts will appear in a selected box. All other boxes required on W-2 forms are automatically prepared by MYOB AccountEdge.

To select a wage or deduction, click in the "Select Box Categories" column next to the name of the wage or deduction. A mark will appear to indicate that the wage or deduction information is selected to appear in the chosen box on your company's W-2s. Click again on any mark to remove it.
