Concept: Year-End Tax Reporting (USA)

Year-End Dashboard and Business Process
The Payroll Year-End Dashboard provides easy access to year-end tasks, estimates, statistics, and the status of year-end forms.
You can process year-end tax reporting as part of the year-end business process or independently. You can only launch the configurable year-end business process from the Payroll Year-End Dashboard.
Completed Moment
Workday uses the last created tax data set when running some year-end tasks and reports. This tax data set might not reflect the current data.
Example: You run the
Create W-2 Data
task on January 5 and run an on-demand payroll on January 6. If you run the
W-2 Preview
report on January 10, the preview reports the data you created on January 5. It doesn't include the January 6 on-demand payment. However, if you select January 6 as the
Completed Moment
, the preview report returns data up to that date.
Alternatively, you can use the
Cancel W-2 Data
task to delete any data created earlier. Workday will then automatically return data for the current moment.
You can specify the
Completed Moment
on these tasks and reports:
  • Company W-2 Audit
  • Company W-2C Audit
  • Company US Territory Year End Form Audit
  • Company US Territory Year End Form Corrections Audit
  • View W-2 Errors
  • View US Territory Year End Form Errors

  • Create W-2 Data
