Does Microsoft have any update for the Electronic (EFW2) File for 2017. Field 474-484 of the RW lines need to be filled in with zeros if there is no information to report, and currently the file that is generated has blanks in field 474-484.
We can relatively easily fix the issue with the file and get it submitted, but wanted to make you aware of the issue. I have included a couple links below that talk about the change to the 2017 file format and W2.
Thanks.

I have the same question (0)Hi Jacqueline,
You can actually look at LCS Issue search if there is an update for this format. You can also notify Microsoft for changed regulations using the LCS Alert Service.
