"EmployerUseCd is invalid..." e-file Validation Error
🔍 What This Guide Covers
This guide explains an e-file validation error related to the Employer Use Code (Box 12 of Form W-2) and how to fix it.
⚠️ Before You Begin
Review the Employer Use Code entered in Box 12 of your W-2.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Identify why the validation failed
This occurs because the code entered in Box 12 of Form W-2 is not capitalized.
Modernized E-File validation is case sensitive, whereas Legacy e-filing is not.
Step 2: Update the code and re-try e-file
To correct this problem, change the code entered in Box 12 of Form W-2 to a capital letter.
