2009 MAS90 Q1 IRD for 941 – All Versions

Sage just released  program fixes to allow Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 (works with Extended Enterprise) to print the new 941 forms for 2009.

Unlike prior years, these fixes are not in the form of an official IRD (aka Interim Release Disk). Instead the program fixes have been added to the service update releases for versions 4.1+.

You can also download individual fixes (helpful for those using third party add-ons or Extended Solutions that may not play well with the latest update).
