A client configured a payroll deduction as Standard, and it should have been defined as Cafeteria Plan. W2's are wrong because taxable earnings are overstated. What's the best way of fixing something like this for year end, as well as 2013. For 2013, I imagine I can reverse several checks and create a new deduction code, but am wondering if using DFDM to change the designation of existing deduction, plus adjusting some of the earnings info would work. Anyone try this before?

You can reverse the checks already posted, make the change via DFDM and repost them.

I have. It works. It doesn't adjust for the checks already posted.

I've done a YTD single check reversal and then changed the deduction type in DFDM.

Depending upon the number of W2's I always liked the FIX button

Depending on the number also, the Aatrix program is even easier to use than the FIX button.

+1 for using Aatrix. Making the changes in the matrix allows you to verify the totals as you edit.

Thanks everyone. It's only a dozen W2's, so will try the fix button. Will also reverse a check to gauge impact on other fields. Fortunately, accountant is preparing W2's, so he'll adjust 2012 values.
