Steps to Reproduce

This is assuming that SQL Scripts were used to populate the W2C data.  Component Interface will not work for this.
Please be aware, recommendation is to always Manually enter these, but this customer had too many to process.

Using the SQL Scripts is considered Customer-specific code, or custom code and must be determined and tested by the customer.

1. Navigate to Payroll for North America > U.S. Annual Processing > W-2c Reporting > Create W-2c PDF Forms
2. Enter US/Territory: US
3. Choose Employee Copy
4. Choose Final Print
