  • So i downloaded and installed this update on 12-17-15 and also updated the forms. I see the 2016 tax tables are there but the 2015 w-2 and the 2015 940 does not appear to be there yet. When will those forms be made available?

    Hi jond, the updated tax forms for the 2015 year-end filing season are anticipated to be released late this evening, Friday, 12/18/15 around 6 pm ET. Once you run the Payroll Tax Forms wizard again after that time, an update prompt should appear and the 2015 year-end tax forms will be downloaded. If anything changes with the release timing, I will update this post. Many thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply. It would have been nice if that information was included in the documentation from the 12-17-15 that those forms were not yet available. But perhaps it was just an oversight.
