The Lock/Unlock W-2 Summary option allows you to lock all other users out of the ability to run a Government Reporting Summary for a specific corporation and year (and conversely, unlock users so they can run a Government Reporting Summary).

Due to the way W-2c's are created, if a Government Reporting Summary is run, all W-2c's associated with that corporation for that year are destroyed (though they are copied to a file that can be viewed and printed). Therefore, you may choose to disallow all users from accidentally (or purposely) running a Reporting Summary for a corporation and year in which you have associated W-2c's.
