Preparing Government Reports: General Information

On the Government Reporting (PR504000) form, you can choose on which company or branch you want to report on, the reporting period, and the state, and then select the report form that you want to submit. The report form opens on the Aatrix website where you need to log in to be able to edit and submit the report.

Learning Objectives

In this chapter, you will learn how to prepare and electronically submit reports to the appropriate government body through the Aatrix website.

Applicable Scenarios

You use government reporting to fill the proper reporting forms or to gather the necessary data to be compliant with the law.

Preparation of Government Reports

In the Selection area of the Government Reporting (PR504000) form, you can select the company or branch on which you want to report, and then you can sort the forms shown in the table by state and reporting period or choose to show only federal forms.

When you select a report, the Aatrix website opens in a pop-up panel and asks you for the necessary information to launch the form in Aatrix depending on the reporting period.

The system collects and stores information about ACA coverage, wages paid, and taxes collected for each worker and for the entire company, and it uses this information in government reporting, so mostly you only need to edit the necessary information (for instance, to correct a mistake or to fill missing information) before you can send it electronically to the proper authorities.

Note: The data that you edit directly on an Aatrix form will not be synchronized back with the data stored in MYOB Advanced, so you need to make sure that you update the data in MYOB Advanced correspondingly, if needed.

Also, by clicking View History on the form toolbar of the Government Reporting (PR504000) form, you can open the history log on the Aatrix website where you can review log entries about the operations performed on a specific form.
