Sage 100 ERP v2013 payroll checks print but are not recognized by the software as printed.
Note this only applies to Sage 100 ERP 2013.
You may not receive the “Remove checks from printer/ Do you want to update” prompt . You may receive “Checks must be printed” in Check/Register Update.
This Issue occurs only on Sage 100 Standard ERP 2013 Workstations.
Here’s a quick reminder of how you can download the updated payroll tax tables for Sage 100 ERP (fka MAS90 and MAS200). The tax tables are only available online. Sage does not send out disks/CD materials any longer.
Luckily the process is very simple. Before you begin have everyone exit your Sage 100 ERP system (expect the process to take 15 to 30 minutes depending upon computer speed).
On December 17, 2012 Sage updated the payroll tax tables for Sage 100 ERP 2013. This update works on versions 4.30.0.23 and higher and contains the latest released income tax schedules from the federal and state governments. Be aware that late breaking tax news ofte requires that these tables are issued multiple times for updated legislation. Be sure to check with your Sage partner or tax advisor for advice on when to update the tables.
Reminder: If you’re printing W2 forms in 2013 after you’ve closed your 2012 payroll year – you will need to reset your Social Security limits to the 2012 levels only while printing the W2. Once printed be sure to change the limits back to 2013 levels.
Reminder: Beginning with next year all form printing (W2, 941, 1099) happens through Sage Aatrix – eFiling. This is a free included component of Sage 100 ERP though it must be separately loaded to your local workstation(s) in order to work. Contact your Sage partner for assistance. If you are using Sage 100 ERP 2013 and cannot find your form printing menu – see this post Where Are W2 Form Printing, Quarterly 941 Printing or 1099 Form Printing In Sage 100 ERP 2013?
The State of Connecticut have just released their withholding tax guide for the year 2013. This booklet provides information on the amounts to withhold from CT employee payroll, a comprehensive frequently asked questions (FAQ) section as well as contact phone numbers for questions.

It’s that time of year when companies using the Sage 100 ERP payroll module go through the routine of closing out their payroll year. The (somewhat) tricky part of closing payroll is that you must print your W2 forms prior to updating Sage 100 ERP tax tables and beginning a new payroll year.
What most users have found works well for them is to create a separate newly created backup company within Sage 100 ERP (fka MAS90 or MAS200) and copy their live company to the backup company (here’s how).
Once the data is copied you can close the live company and load tax tables and IRD (where required) for processing in 2013.
When ready to print the W2 forms simply use the backup company code created above (remember that in most cases you must first restore any changed FICA/Medicare limits).
Closing Sage 100 ERP Payroll Year End
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.
