    I am having the same problem.  I have tried to go back and change the Social Secuirty withholding rate back to 6.2%, but that doesn't help.  PLEASE HELP !!!

    1.  change your system date to 12/31/10

    2.  change the Social Security rate back to 6.2%

    3.  recreated your year end wage file

    4.  print the W-2s to the screen to check the amounts

    I just did this and it worked for me.

    The solution from rmckay875 is probably the best/safest way of fixing things however you will lose any edits that you have done in the Edit W2 window if you go that route.  If you're comfortable with SQL, I have found another work around for this issue:

    USE TWO (or whatever your database name is)

    UPDATE UPR10100

    SET FICASSTR=620000

    WHERE RPTNGYR=2010

    Keep in mind this is NOT supported by Microsoft since you are modifying data through SQL statement rather than through the front end.

    Sandip,

    If you recreate your year end wage file after you apply the 2011 tax update, you must first change the Social Security rate back to 6.2% otherwise you will have problems with your W2s

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Change your system date to 12/31/10

    change your Social Security rate back to 6.2%

    then rerun the year end wage file

    run your W-2s

    change the system date to 01/01/11 and change the Social Security rate back to 4.2%

    .... close GP and reopen to reset the system back to today's date

    this fix worked -- but the w-3 summary amounts are still incorrect.  i can't figure out which table to update the summary amount of SS.

    Hi Ken,

    I didn't have any trouble with my summary information...Just the W2s themselves.  Remember that there is a cap on the SS W/H so you need to take that into account.  I would be very cautious about updating the summary information.  Check out table UPR10100.

    Re: W2 and W3 Information

    michael -- summary info is not listed in UPR10100.  i did NOT re-create year end -- just did the SQL fix.  perhaps i should run the year end again... customer is able to print w-2's correctly now.. just not the w-3
