If you do Electronic Wage Reporting do you file a W3?

[BulldogTom]

Last year I filed the company's W2's online at the SSA BSO website.  We did the Electronic Wage Reporting because we had nearly 400 W2's to file.  Everything went fine.  But I did not get or print out a W3, and I did not upload, nor do I see anyplace to upload or print out a W3 when you do the EWR reporting. 

The auditor for the 401K plan is asking for the W3 and I don't have one.  I went to the BSO website and I don't see a place to print a W3 if you used EWR.

Did I screw something up?  Can I get a W3 off the website? 

Thanks

I've manually input W2s for companies that have only a few employees.  The Confirmation Receipt shows the W-3 information. If you didn't print it, you can go to "Submission Status" and print the page that shows W-3 detail.  I don't think you get an actual W-3 form, but you could create one and attach the BSO W-3 detail information.

I think that is what I figured out.  And it makes sense that you don't need a W3 because it is just the check figure for the information you are sending them in the mail.  If you upload the file and they accept it, they don't need you to send them a transmittal.

If you prepared the W-2s in ATX there should be an option to print a W-3 if the auditor insists. Like you said, it is merely a transmittal that reports the totals, so if he insists on having one, you can show him that the figures on the W-3 agree with the totals generated by the EWR system during the upload.

This was at my day job using our accounting software, not ATX.
