Sage Aatrix Will Be Sole 1099, W2, 941 Printing and eFiling Source

January 14, 2014 by Wayne Schulz

A reminder that in order to print any tax forms from any version of Sage 100 ERP you must adopt the Sage Aatrix eFiling. This connection will allow you to continue printing the forms (at no cost) and eFiling (for a small per item transaction cost).

Sage will no longer update the tax forms (1099, W2, 941) or their Electronic Reporting Module (fka Magnetic Media). You MUST adopt Aatrix if you require updated tax forms and/or electronic filing.

This program is a separate install from your source Sage 100 ERP Sage disk.

Reminder: All Year End Sage 100 Electronic Reporting Must Move To Federal and State eFiling Powered By Aatrix for 12/31/14 Reporting

December 12, 2013 by Wayne Schulz

Just a reminder that beginning with the filing year 12/31/14 all electronic submittals of 1099 and W2 data will occur via the Sage Federal and State eFiling powered by Aatrix.

If you were previously generating data files from Sage 100 and submitting them directly then you can continue to do so for the year ending 12/31/13. However for the NEXT submittal year you must move to the Sage Aatrix service (included on your Sage 100 ERP disk) for eFiling.

1099 vs Employee Rules: Are You In Compliance?

April 30, 2012 by Wayne Schulz

Are you classifying contractors properly? Do you know when it is permissible to pay someone as a subcontractor (aka 1099) versus employee?

I just received a “cheat sheet” from Corrine Nadolny of Paychex. The document gives an explanation of some rules about when your company should be adding works to the payroll – and when it might be permissible to pay them as independent 1099 subcontractors.

The main issue with these rules is that generally companies don’t withhold employment taxes on 1099 subcontractors. That makes it cheaper for a company to classify a worker as 1099 vs full employee.

Correctly classifying workers BEFORE they start work is the key. Download this free document and review some of the key items to consider when making these classifications. And as always, please refer to your tax or legal professional for final assistance with determining employment status.
