Information Reporting Diagnostics Dashboard
The Information Reporting Diagnostics graph (or diagnostics dashboard) displays by default when you select
REVIEW
. This graphical view displays the processing diagnostics currently available in the
1099 Filing Review
,
5498 Filing Review
and
1098 Filing Review
registers. It shows:
The count of diagnostics by type (payers, recipients, and forms) and by diagnostic category (severe and informational).
The count of records with no diagnostics.
Only forms that include processed data are represented in the diagnostics dashboard. For example, if tax deferred accounts are not processed in the PAN then the forms related to tax deferred accounts are not displayed in the diagnostics dashboard.
Diagnostic categories (severe, informational an no diagnostics) display for each diagnostic type (payer, recipient, and forms). Orange represents severe diagnostics, yellow represents informational diagnostics, and green represents records with no diagnostics. The number of diagnostics for each category and type displays above each bar. To view the text translation for a bar, hover your mouse over the bar. In the graphic above, the mouse hovers over the recipient informational diagnostics bar and shows that there are nine informational diagnostics for recipients.
You can remove a diagnostic category from the graph by selecting one or more legend references. For example, selecting the
None
legend reference removes the records with no diagnostics (the green bars) from the graph.
The information displayed and the changes to the type of diagnostics displayed are for the current session only. Leaving the diagnostics dashboard then accessing the dashboard again resets the dashboard to the default setting.
Form and Recipient Diagnostic Detail Views
From the diagnostics dashboard, you can access the following:
The form diagnostic detail view
The recipient diagnostic detail view
Above the diagnostics dashboard, select View form diagnostic details to access the form diagnostic detail view or select View recipient diagnostic details to access the recipient diagnostic detail view.
The form diagnostic detail view combines the diagnostics by account and form, and the recipient diagnostic detail view combines the diagnostics by account and recipient. Both detail views allow you to review the all the diagnostics for an account in one view rather than opening multiple registers. Payer diagnostics are not detailed in the detail views because payers are not specific to an account. Use the
Payer Listing
register to review payer diagnostics.
The form diagnostic detail view and the recipient detail view have the same features.
The grid rows shown in the detail grid represent data for each form or recipient. The recipient information is repeated on each row if there are multiple 1099-B records for a recipient. If corrections were processed, the original filing information also displays.
Changes to either view are for the current session only. Leaving a view then accessing the detail view again resets the page to the default settings.
