1042 Express can combine multiple original source files into a single IRS compatible file, even if the source files are from different withholding agents (filers/companies).
Correction, or replacement files cannot be combined, but must be separate files.
Source files may reside in any folder or multiple folders. Typically, source files are found in the c:\T2007 folder, but may be in any folder.
To build multiple files into a single IRS file, click the Options/Build Build IRS File/Multiple Files menu. Navigate to the file (select the correct drive, folder,
and file) then double-click the file to add it to the lower list box. Files in the lower list box appear red in color. When all desired files are in the list box, click the "OK".
The multiple build will start.
Only ONE Transmitter is allowed for a multiple build, regardless of how many source files are combined and regardless of how many Companies (Filers) are present.
The FIRST source file (in the lower list box) must have the complete Transmitter Information. Only the Transmitter Information from the first file is sent to the IRS.
The Transmitter Information in other files is ignored and need not be present. All source files must have complete Withholding Agent Information.
A file called CFR.TXT (Computer Filing Report) is present in the folder where the last file resides, and is also displayed in Notepad. Please print or save the CFR information,
since it contains important tracking information and other details about the file you are sending to the IRS file.
