Complete the last payroll of the current year for year-end in ACS.

You must complete the last payroll of the current year before issuing your Forms W-2 or make any wage changes.

You must also make any corrections to employees' paychecks for the current year, including voiding and reissuing checks, if necessary. Make sure to date any reissued checks so that the correct tax year displays on the Form W-2.

Before you close the month of December in Payroll, make sure all pay information for the current year is posted. Check the posting date and the posting period on your entries before you post.
