Sage 100 ERP 2013 Payroll and Tax Form Printing Tip

December 31, 2012 by Wayne Schulz

Beginning with Sage 100 ERP 2013 (fka MAS90 or MAS200) printing for W2, 941 and 1099 tax forms is hidden with Sage suggesting that you use the eFiling which is included with Sage 100 ERP 2013.

If instead of using the included Aatrix Federal and State eFiling and Reporting (which BTW works very well and allows quite nice after-the-fact edits before printing forms) you wish to print the forms the “old fashioned” way from within Sage 100 ERP 2013 – you simply need to follow these instructions to unhide the tax form printing.

New installations of Sage 100 ERP will not have the 3 menu tasks listed. To enable these tasks, from the toolbar menu click File > Run and type the utility name *unhidetaxforms.

When these menu options are unhidden, these installations will get the same warning message to say that ‘starting in 2014…no longer supported’.

Note: After the 2013 Tax Filing Year, Sage will no longer be providing W-2, 1099 and 941 form changes in the standard Sage 100 product. You will be able to use eFiling and Reporting feature, which allows you to either print W-2, 1099 and 941 forms directly to your printer and/or eFile directly to applicable tax agency through Aatrix.

Sage MAS 90 and 200 version 4.3 include integration to Aatrix electronic tax payment and filing.

To access this new feature, navigate from within your Sage MAS 90 or 200 payroll module to the period end menu. The e-filing menus for federal and state filing will be your first two options.

Out of the box the e-filing functionally support plain paper W2 and W2 form printing. There area a few caveats however. The IRS requires special printing on the back of plain paper W2 forms as well as perforated paper.

If you wish, you can use the Aatrix site which automatically uploads your payroll data from Sage MAS 90 or 200. Be sure to setup your account with Aatrix ahead of time as that may require a signed acknowledgement as well as any PIN numbers for the various agencies that your’e responsible for filing taxes.
