I appreciate you sharing more details about the errors you encountered, @HLHmeowcat. Let’s explore the necessary steps you need to follow to ensure a smooth and successful upload of your W2 forms.
The errors R200008 and R100005 when uploading a W-2 form in the Maryland state portal indicate issues with the data format or missing required fields. The R200008 relates to incorrect formatting of the W-2 data, while R100005 indicates that mandatory fields are not filled out correctly or are missing. To address these errors, confirm that all required fields are accurate and that the W2 data complies with the designated formatting requirements.
When generating your W2 file in QuickBooks Desktop, it's important to make sure that the file format is specified to W2REPORT.TXT, which you create through worksheet or Excel.
Additionally, you can contact the Maryland state agency for further clarification on the errors you encountered. They can confirm if these errors are occurring in their system and will guide you through the steps to fix them.
