Can OCSE provide a date with the self-employment indicator?
The OCSE interface with SSA for the Annual Wage information returned via the E01 response provides the tax year associated with the IRS W-2 data being returned. The tax year is returned in the Date of Address field (position 367-374) in century and year format. This is the only date available for self-employment data that can be associated with all information that is being returned in the E01 response. Question 9: What period will the self-employment indicator and amount cover? Answer: The self-employment and the future Annual Wage amount is associated with a submitted IRS W-2 and is associated with a tax year. The tax year is returned in the Date of Address field (position 367-374) in century and year format.
