10/04/04 - The AccuW2C test software for 2004 is now available for download. We no longer provide support for any AccuW2C applications downloaded to a Windows 95 Operating System. AccuW2C 2004 software is only offered as a single file download.

08/02/04 - We no longer provide support for any AccuWage applications downloaded to a Windows 95 Operating System. AccuWage 2004 software is only offered as a single file download.

11/15/03 - Revised versions of AccuWage and AccuW2C 2003 (versions 1.1.0) are now available for download. These versions replace the existing versions 1.0.0 of AccuWage and AccuW2C that were released in August/October. The revised versions correct problems involving a relational edit on the Third Party Sick Pay Indicator and an edit on position 512 of each record.

What is AccuWage/AccuW2C?

AccuWage/AccuW2C is free software from Social Security.

  • AccuWage is for use with Magnetic Media Reporting and Electronic Filing - MMREF-1.
  • AccuW2C is for use with Magnetic Media Reporting and Electronic Filing - MMREF-2.

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

How does AccuWage/AccuW2C work?

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