Magnetic Media Reporting For Tax Year 2007

The City of Kettering’s diskette specifications conform to the Social Security Administration’s Specification for Filing Forms W-2 Electronically (EFW2) with some minor changes that are covered below. Effective tax year 2007, the Social Security Magnetic Media Reporting and Electronic Filing (MMREF) publications have been renamed to Specifications for Filing Forms W-2 Electronically (EFW2), formerly MMREF-1. All references to MMREF-1 have been replaced with the new acronym EFW2.

It is advised that you obtain a copy of the Social Security Specifications for Filing Forms W-2 Electronically For Tax Year 2007 (EFW2) to use as a reference. You may obtain a copy of this publication by visiting the SSA web page located at http://www.ssa.gov/employer or by contacting your local SSA office. If the information we receive does not meet the specifications in SSA Pub. EFW2 and this document, it may be returned to you unprocessed.
