The Taxpayer First Act, which became Public Law 116-25 on July 2019, requires more employers to file W-2s or W-2Cs electronically. Although the IRS has not yet issued formal regulation on the implementation, here is the tentative schedule:

• By midnight on January 31, 2022, employers who file 100 or more W-2s or W-2Cs will have to send W-2s or W-2Cs to SSA electronically.

• By midnight on January 31, 2023, employers who file 10 or more W-2s or W-2Cs will have to send W-2s or W-2Cs to SSA electronically.

When the IRS issues formal guidance on implementing this new law, the above date may change. The IRS has the authority to penalize any employer who does not file electronically if they meet the threshold.

Costpoint has existing capability to generate EFW2. However, to support IRS requirements, Costpoint adds the ability to generate EFW2C to the Create Federal W-2 File screen. W-2 corrections beginning tax year 2021 will also be supported.

Attention: For more information, refer to:

• Taxpayer First Act: https://www.ssa.gov/employer/taxpayer.html

• Filing Forms W-2c Electronically (EFW2C) for Tax Year 2021: https://www.ssa.gov/employer/EFW2&EFW2C.htm

 

Create W-2 Table (PRPCW2)

You can now generate W-2c records on the Create W-2 Table screen. The screen provides the following new options:

Field	Description
Record Type	Select which type of records you are processing. Valid options are: W-2: Select this option if you are processing Form W-2 records. W-2c: Select this option if you are processing Form W-2c records. A W-2c can only be created if a W-2 record exists for the Payroll Year/Taxable Entity/Employee/Tax Service Group ID. W-2c records can be viewed and edited on the Manage W-2Cs screen. If you select this option, the application will generate the new Create W-2c Table Report. Note: Deltek recommends the use of Arial Narrow font for the Create W-2c Table Report.
Recreate W-2s/W-2Cs	Select this check box to recreate the W-2 or W-2c table. When you select this check box, Costpoint implements the following: If you select W-2 as the Record Type, then any edits entered on the Manage W-2s screen are lost when you recreate the W-2 table. If you select W-2c as the Record Type, then any edits entered on the Manage W-2Cs screen are lost for the record with the highest sequence number when you recreate the W-2c table.

The application will insert W-2c data into the following new W-2c tables:

• FED_W2C_FILE

• BOX_12_W2C_FILE

• STATE_W2C_FILE

• LOCAL_W2C_FILE

 

Manage W-2Cs (PRMW2C)

The new Manage W-2Cs screen provides you with the ability to add, retrieve, view, or edit W-2c records. This includes the following actions:

• View or edit W-2c data created by the Create W-2 Table screen.

• Change amounts of an existing W-2c.

• Enter new records.

• Manually add a W-2c record to correct a previously reported W-2 or W-2c.

The information on this screen will be used to create the electronic federal W-2c (EFW2C) on the Create Federal W-2 File screen. You can edit this screen after creating the W-2c table on the Create W-2 Table screen and before generating the electronic W-2c on the Create Federal W-2 File screen. To access this screen, click People » Payroll » Year-End Processing » Manage W-2Cs.

 

Create Federal W-2 File (PRPW2F)

You can now create an electronic W-2c file on the Create Federal W-2 File screen. The screen provides the following new options:

Field	Description
File Type	Select the type of file that you are processing. The following are the options: EFW2: Select this option if you are creating electronic W-2 (EFW2) for submitting annual Form W-2 Copy A (Wage and Tax Statement W-2) data. EFW2C: Select this option if you are creating electronic W-2c (EFW2C) for submitting annual Form W-2C Copy A (Corrected Wage and Tax Statement W-2C) data. If you select this option, the application will generate the new Federal W-2c File Report. Note: Deltek recommends the use of Arial Narrow font for the Federal W-2c File Report.
Originally Reported Establishment Number	The Establishment Number is a four-position identifier determined by the employer, which further distinguishes the employer reported in an RCE (Employer) Record. The establishment number can be alpha, numeric, or alphanumeric. Enter the incorrectly reported Establishment Number. This field will only be enabled if File Type is EFW2C. Leave the field blank if you are not correcting the originally reported Establishment Number.
Correct Establishment Number	The Establishment Number is a four-position identifier determined by the employer, which further distinguishes the employer reported in an RCE (Employer) Record. The establishment number can be alpha, numeric, or alphanumeric. Enter the correct Establishment Number. This field will only be enabled if File Type is EFW2C. Leave the field blank if you are not correcting the originally reported Establishment Number. You may use this field even if you are not correcting the originally reported Establishment Number. For multiple RCE (Employer) Records with the same EIN, you may use this field to assign a unique identifier to each RCE (Employer) Record. For example, store or factory locations or types of payroll.

 

Export Payroll Taxes (PRPEXTAX)

You can now export W-2c data on the Export Payroll Taxes screen. The screen provides the following new option:

Field	Description
W-2c	Select this option to create the W-2c tax file. Any data provided in the Manage W-2Cs table will be exported. If you select this option, the application will generate the new Export Payroll Taxes Report (W-2c File).

The application will source the W-2c data from the following new W-2c tables:

• FED_W2C_FILE

• BOX_12_W2C_FILE

• STATE_W2C_FILE

• LOCAL_W2C_FILE

The following are the updates to the file and report:

• A new field, Record Type, was added to the W-2 file to distinguish the W-2 (Record Type: W2) information from W-2c (Record Type: W2C). If the Record Type is W2, existing W-2 fields will continue to report the W-2 information. If the Record Type is W2C, existing W-2 fields will report the correct information from W-2c tables.

• New W-2 File fields were added to report the previously reported information from W-2c tables.

• A new report, Export Payroll Taxes Report - W-2c File, was added to separately report W-2c data.

 

Print Data Dictionary Report (SYRDD)

The Print Data Dictionary Report now provides information for the following new tables:

• FED_W2C_FILE

• BOX_12_W2C_FILE

• STATE_W2C_FILE

• LOCAL_W2C_FILE

Defect 1621887: When you validated pay when paid vouchers, the message "No records meet the selection criteria" was displayed even when a PO voucher with a Pay When Paid status exists. This occurred when:

• The voucher you attempted to validate was linked to a project that has a loaded labor billing formula.

• You updated the invoice status to SELECTED on the Standard Billing Info tab of the Manage Standard Bills screen.

• You updated the Amount to Bill field on the Detail subtask of the Manage Standard Bills screen to a value that is greater than the invoice amount on the Manage Purchase Order Vouchers screen.

• You updated the Amount Received field on the Invoice Information Detail subtask of the Manage Cash Receipts screen to a value that is less than the Amount to Bill field on the Detail subtask of the Manage Standard Bills screen.

As a workaround, do not update the Amount to Bill field in Manage Standard Bills and the Amount Received field in Manage Cash Receipts.

Defect 1625699: When you ran Manage Segregation of Duties Conflict Overrides (SYMCFLO) with the Manually Approved check box selected, the Name field populated with a random username for all groups and users listed.

Defect 1615125: When you modified the lead time table, the total lead time days were not equal to the item lead time days upon checking on the Lead Time subtask.

Defect 1628552: When you imported a purchase order (PO), the Buyer's Home Organization was not populated in Manage Purchase Orders. As a workaround, use the Load Purchase Order Org IDs (POPLDORG) application.

Defect 1616200: When you ran purchase order (PO) reconciliation, the functional received amount populated with the transactional amount, which caused issues with the PO line functional received amounts.

Defect 1628207: When you autoloaded a Subcontractor Agreement PO for which you previously set the exchange rate to EUR to USD and USD to EUR, and you then set the received quantity and clicked Save, you encountered the following error: "Accepted amount cannot be greater than the received amount."

Defect 1626152: The application generated excessive warnings for previously processed records.

Defect 1625162: The screen should display a warning if your Balance Transfer Information setup will transfer the balance from a leave code that is based on units of hours worked to one that is not.

Defect 1593063: The allocation was incorrect when you selected the Weekly option as the Overtime Calculation Method for processing a single timesheet with multiple timesheet lines that have the following setup:

• The timesheet lines had line dates.

• The Overtime Basis for the state was Weekly.

In this scenario, the allocation only worked correctly when you selected the Daily option as the Overtime Calculation Method. This setup is wrong since the Overtime Calculation Method should match the state setup.

Defect 1602020: The Project Information subtask required valid values in the Crew and Crew Chief fields. This prevented you from entering new union project information if your company does not have crews/crew chiefs. To address this issue, the Crew and Crew Chief fields on the subtask will no longer be required.

Defect 1622205: For an Employee Tax (ET) record with a tax type of LCEE, the application should populate field 45 (Employee Resident PSD Code) with the value from the PA_PSD_CD field on the EMPL_TAX record of the employee.

Defect 1625855: The application created duplicate records in the ESUB_PD table when you entered fiscal years with an alphanumeric code.

Defect 1579812: The performance of Import Budget/EACs from Excel was slow due to the application's validation and error-reporting routines.

Defect 1628557: The rate ceiling of the top-level account was not used to calculate the project's burdened cost.

Defect 1358728: Costpoint allowed you to enter and save a non-existent period in the Period for Rates field when the Indirect Costs option was selected.

As a workaround, enter a valid period and recalculate bills.

Defect 1618701: This application did not calculate the retroactive amount when the invoice net amount was zero.

Defect 1631365: This application did not correctly calculate hour ceilings when both hour ceilings and employee hour ceilings exist. 

As a workaround, you can remove either the hour ceilings or the employee hour ceilings. 

Defect 1645901: The application did not correctly allocate the Retainage and Over Cost Ceiling amounts in ACRN bills, which resulted in a mismatch between the Invoice Amount and Current ACRN Value displayed on the Manage ACRN Bills screen and ACRN Billing Edit Report.

As a workaround, you can edit the Current ACRN Allocation Value in Manage ACRN Bills.

Defect 1650571: You encountered the following system error when you ran this application: "Can't parse sql statement: INSERT INTO (BILL_EDIT_KEY, BILL_FM_GRP_NO, BILL_FM_GRP_LBL...)." This error occurred when both the Show Timesheet Date and Show Timesheet Comments check boxes were selected on the Hours tab of the Manage Generic Billing Formats screen.

Defect 1650657: A system error occurred when you calculated a bill for a project with Customer Terms set to the 31st DOM in Manage Project User Flow.

As a workaround, on the Proj Bill Info subtask of Manage Project User Flow, set the project's Customer Terms to the 30th DOM (that is, the customer terms selected should have Day of Month set to 30 in Manage Customer Terms).

Defect 1650658: An error occurred upon running this application when Position of Fiscal Year Code was set to First for Prior FY on the Configure Billing Settings screen.

As a workaround, set Position of Fiscal Year Code to Last.

Defect 1650660: When the Use Transactional Currency Billing check box was selected on the Manage Project Billing Information screen and you ran Calculate Standard Bills for records with a billing currency not equal to the functional currency, the total of the WAWF_WH_AMT column did not match the Withholding amount under the MU_RTNGE_AMT column in the BILL_EDIT_DETL table.

Defect 1650661: There was a rounding issue in WAWF columns for multicurrency bills in the BILL_EDIT_DETL table, which caused a mismatch between the Current ACRN Value and Invoice Amount on the Manage ACRN Bills screen.

Defect 1653860: Some WAWF columns were not populated in the BILL_EDIT_DETL table after you calculated standard bills for some billing formulas.

Defect 1653937: The application did not calculate burden costs when there was a burden cost ceiling and the account was in the base of more than one pool.

As a workaround, you can manually calculate burden costs, or you can remove ceiling entries and edit the standard bill.

Defect 1610370: Primary and foreign keys have been removed from the following ADT tables to improve this application's performance:

• CEIL_BURDEN_CST_ADT 

• CEIL_DIR_CST_ADT

• VEND_CEIL_ADT 

Defect 1625763: Performance tuning has been conducted to improve this application's runtime.

Defect 1621175: Costpoint did not allow you to post revenue to inactive account/organization combinations when Rate Type was set to Target, Total Target Revenue Amount was equal to Reallocation Amount, and Total Target Revenue Amount was not equal to zero in the PROJ_SUM table. Actual revenue and reallocation amounts, on the other hand, were not equal. The system should not have validated for invalid account/organization combinations.

Defect 1621125: When you made changes on the User-Defined Info subtask, Costpoint updated PROJ.TIME_STAMP for the edited project along with its lower-level projects. The system should have updated the time stamp only for the edited project.

Defect 1591974: When you claimed a batch meals expense that was attached to an expense that was set up as a per diem ceiling and the expense amount was over ceiling, it was charged entirely to under ceiling. 

Defect 1630393: A performance issue occurred with the Group Cache charge lookup/manual entry if the employee was assigned to a large number of charge restrictions (around 90,000 or greater).

Defect 1636606: Charge lookup favorites displayed only ten rows when Group Cache was enabled.
