PR297 Number of Employees

pbuckley

Does anyone know what the "Required Number of W2 Forms To Be Printed" number (shown on the total page of the PR297) represents?

One would think this should represent the true number of forms needed, but it isn't the case.

Thanks!

It does represent the number of forms needed - we use that number, plus additional for print testing, every year. If you're finding the number is higher than you expected, it could be parameters that are set on PR297, or if you have overflow to a second form because of what you display in various boxes, or if you have employees who may have multiple state taxes withheld during the year -
