Application changes

  • We have addressed an issue that caused the application to format ACH Credit tax payment files incorrectly for the Georgia Department of Revenue tax agent. If you have generated and transmitted any of these payments using Accounting CS v. 2018.1.0, you need to contact the Department of Revenue support line and verify that they received and applied the payments properly.
  • We have updated the Form 941ME internet file format. If you have already processed this form, you need to reprocess it to create a new file in the correct format.
  • We have updated the Form TC-941E internet file format. If you have already processed this form, you need to reprocess it to create a new file in the correct format.

Payroll form and filing information

The Payroll Form and Filing Information portlet on the Home or Firm dashboard provides valuable information for federal, state, and certain local tax agents. Click the U.S. flag (for federal information) and the map (for state and local information) to view detailed information in the tabbed pages in the lower section of the portlet. For information on working with portlets,  see Dashboard portlet: Payroll Form and Filing Information.
