Accounting CS Payroll, for live payroll processing

Payroll compliance
- We have updated the 94x Client PIN enrollment files (created in the Actions > Enroll > 94x Client PIN screen) to the latest version available from the tax agency.
- Oregon
- You can now file Form WR electronically via FSET. For more information, see Oregon payroll tax form information.
- We have addressed an issue that, in certain circumstances, caused the application to report the incorrect statewide transit tax paid amount on line 4 of Form STT-A.
- Pennsylvania. You can now enter either a 2-digit, 6-digit, or 8-digit (formatted as XXXXXX-XX) PSD code in the W2 PSD Code field of the Local dialog (accessed via the Payroll Taxes tab of the Setup > Clients screen).
- Wisconsin. We have addressed an issue that prevented the application from creating the Form W-2 Copy 1 electronic file if an employee’s SSN included a leading zero.
- We have addressed some 1099 form layout issues in the File > Layout Designer. Details
Note: If your firm has modified the predefined version of the 1099 layouts, the application will not overwrite your existing layouts with the updated versions. If this is the case, you will need to make the necessary changes to your customized layouts manually, or you will need to restore the latest predefined versions using the Layout Designer. To do the latter, expand the 1099 Forms tree and select the layout from the Layouts list pane in the Layout Designer and then choose File > Restore Default.
Accounting CS includes two interactive tools that provide valuable payroll tax information.
- The Payroll Form and Filing Information portlet provides information on federal, state, and certain local tax agents in the Home Dashboard or Firm Dashboard.
- The State-specific payroll tax form information article provides information on state payroll tax forms, processing tips, due dates, filing methods, agency information, tax payment details, state ID formats, e-filing notes, new hire reporting requirements, and more.
