AccuWage Software

What's New?

12/05/11 - AccuWage and AccuW2C software for 2011 are designed to test wage reports in the current EFW2 - EFW2C formats. The most current versions of AccuWage and AccuW2C work with current and prior year wage submissions.

Previous versions of the AccuWage and AccuW2C software have been removed from the AccuWage website. We recommend that wage submitters uninstall prior versions of AccuWage and AccuW2C before they download the software for the current tax year.

AccuWage/AccuW2C is free software from Social Security.

• AccuWage is for use with Electronic Filing W-2 - EFW2
• AccuW2C is for use with Electronic Filing W-2c - EFW2C

The software allows you to check W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) and W-2c (Corrected Wage and Tax Statement) reports for correctness before you send them to Social Security.

First, you need to download and install AccuWage/AccuW2C software on your PC. Then, specify the directory where your W2REPORT or W2CREPORT file is located. AccuWage/AccuW2C reads the file and informs you of any errors it detects.

The AccuWage/AccuW2C software identifies most of the common format errors in wage submissions. Using this software greatly reduces submission rejections. Please be aware that even if no errors are identified by AccuWage/AccuW2C, your submission could be returned because of other errors.
