You have questions about closing the year for payroll and 1099 processing. Sage has answers. And those answers have been compiled into a great frequently asked questions knowledgebase article covering year-end 2021 closing.
If you’ve ever asked yourself any of these questions – then read the answers in the Sage KB 114052 which was just issued on 1/7/2022.
In order to process year-end, you should be on Sage 100 version 2019.5 or higher with the latest product update. Payroll users should be on payroll 2.22.x.
The article does address the question of whether you can run year-end from an unsupported version of Sage 100. The answer is that while year-end may appear to run properly you cannot be guaranteed of compatibility with the latest eFiling unless you are on a currently supported Sage 100 version.

Some of the functionality from older unsupported versions of Sage may appear to work until you go to print forms or interface with electronic filing.
