It appears the Connecticut payroll tax TABLE changes are effective August 1, 2011 – that is the changes (including catch-up amounts) are incorporated into rate tables that Connecticut indicates should be put into place on August 1, 2011

(View Information About Connecticut Tax Table Changes for August 2011: http://goo.gl/ABI8V ) .

Sage is planning to include these changes (which seem to also require some programming updates) in the version 4.5 release of MAS90/200 – as well as free program patches for versions 4.2 to 4.4.

In July we will be able to download a program update for users of MAS90/200 payroll on version 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4.

If users are presently on a version BELOW version 4.20 (which hopefully is not many people) they’ll need to plan an upgrade in order to take advantage of payroll program updates.
