Example of CCA W2 Submission File Summary

Example of CCA W2 Submission File City Summary Report

The file will contain records for employees with CCA cities AND any other cities withheld for an employee who has a CCA city withheld. 

If the city on the W2 CCA Submission File City Summary report is a CCA city (the city pay item configuration has 'Report to CCA' checked), then the Employees Processed, City Wages (taxable gross) and City Tax Withheld for the city, should match what is shown on the W2 Report, Report Summary of the city tax item.

If a non CCA city is on the W2 CCA Submission File City Summary report because an employee has a different city withheld that is CCA, then those totals may not match the W2 report because the W2 report Summary may contain additional employees for the city who do not also have a different city withheld that is CCA.

For these cities, you will have to total the tax withheld and taxable gross for just the employees in the submission file.  In the RS records of the submission file, taxable gross (city wages) will be in positions 309-319 and tax withheld will be in positions 320-330, with an implied decimal before the last 2 digits.

Example of RITA W2 Submission File for districts to submit - W2MSTRITA.txt

For more information on RITA setup, please click here.

For employees that worked or lived in at least one RITA municipality, employers are required to report for each employee every municipality for which tax was withheld or should have been withheld.

Example of W2 RITA Submission File Summary

For employees that worked or lived in at least one RITA municipality, employers are required to report for each employee every municipality for which tax was withheld or should have been withheld.

Example of RITA W2 Submission File City Summary Report

For employees that worked or lived in at least one RITA municipality, employers are required to report for each employee every municipality for which tax was withheld or should have been withheld.

The report will show a breakdown of the cities that are included in the RITA file.  It will show each city with a count of Employees Processed, City Wages (taxable gross) and City Tax Withheld.  If the city on the W2 RITA Submission File City Summary report is a RITA city (the city pay item configuration has a value in the 'RITA' field if it is a RITA city), then the Employees Processed and City Tax Withheld for the city should match what is shown on the W2 report in the report summary of the city tax item.

Employee's will only show 'City Wages' if the Payroll Item' Deduction Type' is marked as 'Employment'. The employees that are marked as residence on their city Payroll Items, will have the taxable gross reported as 0.00 in the submission file and the summary report but will still count in the employee's processed. The W2 RITA Submission City Summary report only counts employee who have values in Tax Withheld, Applicable Gross, and Total Gross that are greater than zero.

The City Wages (taxable gross) likely will not match the w2 report summary because RITA only includes the taxable gross in the submission file if the city 'Deduction Type' is not RESIDENCE (this value is on each individual employee's city tax item).  If the 'Deduction Type' is RESIDENCE, the taxable gross in the submission file and the W2 RITA Submission City Summary report, will be 0.00.  Therefore, the City Wages (taxable gross) on the W2 RITA Submission File City Summary report is usually smaller than the W2 Report summary for the city.

For these cities, you will have to total the tax withheld and taxable gross for just the employees in the submission file.  In the RS records of the submission file, taxable gross (city wages) will be in positions 309-319 and tax withheld will be in positions 320-330, with an implied decimal before the last 2 digits.

The 'Employee Processed' contains employees that have paid into a RITA city and also any other non-RITA cities.
