Working with Amended and canceled Relevé 1 Forms

You can process amended and canceled forms for electronic filing via XML.

You can also print amended forms on plain paper. To do so, you must access a log file from one of these folders (depending on your version):

Your Company\<Company ID>\ folder
The payroll subdirectory in your Company\<Company ID>\ folder

Log file names have the following format: _RL1-yyyy.txt where “yyyy” is the year. This log file appends details to the bottom of the file each time you process plain paper forms or generate an XML file.

Review the log files and find the one that matches the form you are amending. Find the header that contains the most current details by looking for “Header”.

To process the amended or canceled forms

Find the proper header detail, then find the proper file name listed for that header detail (look for “File Name”).
- The format of the file name is _RL1-yyyy-nnnn.txt, where “yyyy” is for year and “nnnn” is for number.
  Note: The text file may contain more employee numbers and slip numbers than needed, but it will only use the employee numbers and slip numbers requested to be amended or canceled and will ignore the others. You will be asked to provide a file when you process amended and cancelled forms for electronic filing, or process amended forms for plain paper.
Create your own text file to provide employee numbers and slip numbers.
- Each line in this file should contain the employee number, followed by a comma, and lastly followed by the slip number that you are amending or canceling.
- Note that there should not be any spaces between these fields.
