  • There continues to be tax related issues when both Covid 19 pay and regular pay are on the same check even after installing 2.20.1 and PR6024T.  I understand Sage is aware of this issue and working on a fix.  We have several clients ramping up this week - is there an ETA on the availability of the fix?

    We just learned from one of our clients that the Employers Expense Summary AND the Aatrix tax payment coupon are incorrect even when the Covid 19 pay is processed on a separate check.  C'mon Sage, we need a fix and we need it soon!

    We had about 4 calls on the Employer Expense Report.  After we were able to duplicate the issue it was reported to engineering yesterday as high priority and will be available soon on a hotfix.  This issue does NOT affect the actual line taxes, they are correct.  The only issue is the Subtotal amount is incorrect.  KB 104394

    We have had no reports of the Aatrix tax payment coupon being incorrect.  I tested it with normal wages and it was fine.  It does NOT print anything for the 3 new Emergency Leave Codes yet. We do know the 941 forms will not be correct until they are updated by the IRS.  When that has been finalized we will still need to do some changes on our end to print them correctly.

    We are currently working on releasing a hot fix for the Employers Expense Summary.

    We are still waiting for federal guidance on the reporting of these new earnings/taxes. Until then we know the following additional changes that will need to be made: 

    • Program change to adhere to the employer tax limit on Social Security wages
    • Update to the Quarterly Tax Report
    • Updates to Federal and State Tax Reporting (Aatrix)

    This information is included in KB 104181

    The Aatrix federal tax payment coupon is short by the exact amount of employee FICA and employee/employer Medicare on the Covid 19 wages.

    I've been finding that if you apply both the tax table update and the the patches the employer expense report seems to be ok.  If you only apply the tax update I do see the problem.

  • in reply to Bernie Lehman

    It is my understanding that Aatrix is working on an update to the payment coupon form 7200 that should be available soon.

  • in reply to TomTarget

    I reinstalled the hot fix after updating the tax update and it did NOT fix my issue.  There must be something different about the data?  

  • in reply to Linda KR

    Any idea when the fix for creating a single check that includes Covid 19 pay and regular pay will be made available?
