W-2 PROCESSING

From a stack of W-2s to a return ready for review.

What W-2 entry looks like when your team does it by hand, and what changes when Kairos does the typing.

The Selah Systems team · 2 minute read

Every firm knows the routine. A client drops off their documents, and someone on your team opens the return and starts keying. Employer name and EIN. Wages. Federal withholding. Social Security and Medicare. State lines. Then the next W-2, and the next client.

None of it is hard. It's just slow, and it lands on your team in the same few weeks every year, right when their time is worth the most.

What changes with Kairos

With Kairos, you drop the client's whole stack. Kairos reads each W-2 and enters the values into Intuit ProSeries or Drake Tax, on the same W-2 screen your team already uses. It handles the other forms in the stack the same way.

"The W-2 hasn't changed. Who types it in can."

What "ready for review" means

When Kairos is done, the return is entered and waiting in your software. It isn't filed. Your preparer opens it, reviews it the way they always do, and makes the calls that need a professional.

That split is the whole idea. The typing goes to Kairos. The judgment stays with your team.
