SUMMARY: Information Pertaining to Employee 2001 W-2 Statements

The final version of the KTXPR55 W-2 listing has been generated. The KTXPR55 report contains all information printed on the 2001 W-2 Wage and Tax Statement for each employee of your agency. Agencies that are on-line users of SHARP will find the report in your agency mailbox on the MVS dated December 29, 2001. The KTXPR55 listing will be distributed to paper user agencies via the normal report distribution process.

The KTXPR55 W-2 listing is sorted as follows: 1) by department number, 2) alphabetically by last name, and 3) by social security number (SSN). Totals are included for each 10-digit department number as well as a grand total summary for the entire agency. The 'DIST. TOTAL' represents the total number of 2001 W-2's that were printed for your agency. The Department of Administration will be preparing a STARS voucher to bill each agency for the applicable costs associated with mailing the 2001 W-2's.

In those instances where an employee has worked for more than one department, one W-2 form has been prepared which includes earnings and deductions for all departments. The W-2 information for these employees will be included on the KTXPR55 W-2 listing for the department number appearing on the employee's most current job record.

In situations where the address information is not correct or is not sufficient for postal delivery, the W-2 form will be mailed to the agency for distribution to the employee. The return address for all W-2 forms mailed this year will again be the agency address.

All 2001 W-2's which are considered undeliverable to the employees and are returned to the agency by the U.S. Postal Service should be retained by the agency until April 16, 2002. At that time, they should be sorted in alphabetical order by last name, first name, and middle initial within department number and returned to the Division of Accounts and Reports, Payroll Services.

In cases where the 2001 W-2 Wage and Tax Statement form does not agree with your records, please send a copy of the form to this office with an explanation. For all cases where the social security number is incorrect, please include a copy of the employee's social security card with the explanation. State agencies are not authorized to make changes on the W-2 forms. The Social Security Administration and the Kansas Department of Revenue must be notified of corrections made by the Department of Administration.

Duplicate laser printed W-2's for calendar year 2001 will be printed for distribution to the agencies on each Monday, beginning February 4, 2002 and continuing through April 15, 2002. The agencies are requested to submit one blanket request for duplicate 2001 W-2's for each printing. Requests received in the Division of Accounts and Reports, Payroll Services, by noon of each Thursday will be printed for distribution the following Monday. The requests should be in social security number order and should include each employee's name and employee ID in addition to the SSN. Requests for duplicate W-2's for years prior to 2001 should be submitted separately. Duplicate 1042S form requests should also be submitted separately. Requests for either duplicate W-2 or 1042S forms should be directed to Debbie Esquibel in Payroll Services at telephone number 785-368-6313 or via e-mail at Debbie.Esquibel@da.state.ks.us.

Attachment A, which defines what items must be added (+) or subtracted (-) to arrive at the amounts shown on the W-2 form, has been included to assist agencies in answering questions regarding the W-2 forms. On-line agencies may also want to consider utilizing the SHARP KPAY318, 'Year to Date Balances' report to assist in answering W-2 related questions. The KPAY318 report is located in SHARP v7.02 under the 'Compensate Employees' window, 'Maintain Payroll Data U.S.', 'Report', 'Year to Date Balances'. See Accounts and Reports Informational Circular No. 97-P-005 dated October 31, 1996 for additional information regarding the KPAY318.

Please note that on-cycle paychecks dated December 21, 2001 and the off-cycle paychecks dated December 28, 2001 are included in the 2001 W-2 amounts.
