New Payroll Tax Update released for Sage 100 Payroll
An in-product message will ask if you want to download and install the update when you start a Payroll task, or you can use the Payroll Tax Update Utility to check for the update. For more information on the payroll tax updates for Sage 100 version 2018 and 2019, see the Sage 100 Payroll 2.20 Tax Update guide on the Sage 100 documents page under Sage 100 Payroll > Payroll Tax Update Guides.
Please review the Payroll Tax Update Guide in its entirety, as some of the tax changes may require additional actions for several states.
As a reminder, the Payroll module is a standalone installation. You can upgrade the Payroll module without upgrading Sage 100. We always recommend staying compliant and keeping up to date with the most current Sage 100 Payroll version.
2020 Q1 tax table update
This tax table update (TTU) is available for Sage 100 Standard and Advanced version 2017. If you’re using Sage 100 2018 or Sage 100 2019, you do not need to install this TTU. With Sage 100 2018 and 2019, when the tax update is available, a message will ask if you want to install it when you start a Payroll task. Also, you can use the Payroll Tax Update utility to check for updates.
The TTU is required for federal tax filing and for filing in some states. This update impacts payroll taxes for tax year 2020.
The 2020 Q1 TTU should be installed after processing W-2 forms for tax year 2019 and before processing the first payroll in 2020. Note: As previously stated, this TTU will not support Form W-4 for 2020. Please see this announcement for additional information.
The 2020 Q1 TTU will be the last TTU for Sage 100 2017.
To learn more about the 2020 Q1 TTU, see the Sage 100 Payroll Tax Table Update Guide (attached to article ID 102365).
