Connecticut Payroll Tax Table Changes for Sage ERP MAS 90 and MAS 200

June 16, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

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.

(Link: http://goo.gl/eiJnx )

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.

CT Stops Mailing Tax Forms To Individual Taxpayers

December 28, 2010 by Wayne Schulz

The Connecticut Department of Revenue Services (DRS) today announced that the agency will no longer directly mail tax booklets to individual taxpayers. This change was made due to the continued growth of electronic income tax filing, and to reduce mailing and printing costs for the agency. The IRS and several other states have recently made similar decisions.

Taxpayers that still need a booklet will be able to obtain one from their local library, post office, or town hall shortly after the beginning of the new year, or they may download forms and instructions from the DRS website at www.ct.gov/DRS.

Last filing season, 1.6 million personal income tax returns were filed with DRS DRS estimates that of the 1.6 million, approximately 125,000 returns, or 8%, were attributable to mailed books.

Electronic filing of income tax returns has grown rapidly during the past few years. Last year, more than 1.2 million tax returns were filed electronically.

In addition to downloading paper forms at www.ct.gov/DRS, taxpayers can learn about locations where tax booklets will be available, electronic filing through the state’s free Taxpayer Service Center, and other electronic filing methods like Fed/State e-file and tax preparation software. The site also offers information about the free Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program for low income individuals and the Tax Counseling for the Elderly program.

Charlie Don’t Surf. The IRS Doesn’t Email.

December 10, 2010 by Wayne Schulz

Have you (or someone you know) recently received an urgent email claiming to be from the IRS. Sometimes the email asks for personal information. In other cases it directs you to call an 800 number. In the most scary situations there’s an attachment known as the “Zeus Banking Trojan” that the scammers hope you’ll download.

Well don’t fall for it.

According to Connecticut CPA Thomas Scanlon – a widespread scam preys on the belief that if someone does not respond to an official looking email that there could be penalties.

Thomas’s recommendation – discard emails claiming to be from the IRS unopened.

How to Upload 1099 From MAS 90 Electronic Reporting to CT for 2009

February 8, 2010 by Wayne Schulz

I just had my second client call to report that they encountered problems uploading 1099 MISC for 2009 to the State of Connecticut.

Both companies were using Sage Electronic Reporting which creates a standard data file for transmission to the government.

Unfortunately in both instances they received messages that their “B” record (payee) had invalid accounts on each line entry.

Ultimately to resolve this issue we had to log out of their CT Tax Account and submit the 1099 data through the screen shown below. After using this option they received an acknowledgement which appeared to indicate that the 1099-MISC for CT was uploaded.
