Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2021 Release Feature of the Day: Mask Social Security Number on W-2

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2021 Release Feature of the Day series where I am going to echo the posts from the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP Blog, while adding some commentary, on the new features introduced in the Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2021 Release which is now available.

This post is on the Mask Social Security Number on W-2 Human Resources enhancement.

Microsoft have added the ability to optionally mask the Social Security Numbers for the employees when printing W-2’s. This is a new checkbox on the Print W-2 Forms window that is available when you choose to print W-2 forms in the print selection box.

Print W-2 Forms

When marked, the first 5 characters of the social security number will print with an X and only the last four characters will display on the W-2.
