941 Will change multiple times in 2010

Ted — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 14:59:58 +0000

Due to the available OASDI credit the HIRE act created, there will be multiple revisions to the 941 form this year. The credit is not available to take in the 1Q so the 1Q 941 is the same as the 2009 form except for the year. 2Q will have a new form that will have lines to take the credit for part of the first quarter and the complete second quarter. 3Q and possibly 4Q will have lines to take this credit just for their respective quarters.

The 1Q 941 form for 2010 is available now. Once the IRS releases the new 2Q-4Q forms, and official guidance, the forms will be made available through auto-update.

Auto Update Your SSN Database.

Ted — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:16:13 +0000

Each month the SSA releases an updated list of Social Security Numbers that are newly issued as of that date. PayMaster uses this list to double check your input when you enter a new hire. If you get a message when entering a SSN , it could mean that its a newly issued number and your database is out of date. If you still get a warning of a invalid SSN after updating, you might double check your input or use the built in SSA Verification report that interfaces with the SSA’s online verification system like it.

Auto update is available now for this July change.
Just go to Utilities/Apply SQL Patches and then click on Internet/Check for SQL Updates.
It should download the patch called validSSN_July_2008.sql and then apply this patch to all companies.

Maryland has made a slight change in their tax rates that are effective July 1, 2008.

Auto update is available now for this mid year tax change.
Just goto Utilities/Apply SQL Patches and then click on Internet/Check for SQL Updates.
It should download the patch called 2008Jul1-taxMD.SQL and then apply this patch to all MD companies.
