If you’ve run prior payroll outside of Workful, you will need to enter your beginning balances for each quarter to ensure proper annual accounting.
Check with your old provider for year-to-date payroll information from each prior quarter for all employees needing end of year W-2 forms. You can also find this information by looking at your employees' pay stubs.
- If you are entering beginning balances for Quarter 1, look at the year-to-date section of the employee's last pay stub dated on or before March 31.
- If you are entering beginning balances for Quarter 2, look at the year-to-date section of the employee's last pay stub dated on or before June 30. Then, substract the information entered for the first quarter.
- If you are entering beginning balances for Quarter 3, look at the year-to-date section of the employee's last pay stub dated on or before September 30. Then, subtract the information entered for the first and second quarters.
- If you are entering beginning balances for Quarter 4, look at the year-to-date section of the employee's last pay stub dated on or before December 31. Then, subtrac the information entered for the first three quarters.
