Year-End and Payroll Tax Table Updates
Due to substantial changes to the tax code that materially impact the 2020 payroll tax year, the IRS released a new Form W-4. Sage 100 v2017 and earlier versions will not support the additional fields necessary to correctly calculate federal withholding taxes. If you are unable to upgrade to Payroll 2.0 before needing to use the new Form W-4, you will need to manually calculate Federal Withholding for every payroll for employees who need to use the new Form W-4.
If you are using Payroll in Sage 100 2018, 2019, or 2020, make sure to install Payroll 2.20.1 or higher to process your tax year 2020 tax forms and to enter payroll for the 2021 tax year.
To stay compliant with Payroll and AP 1099 form printing, you will need to upgrade to Sage 100 2019.3 or higher and (if using Payroll, upgrade to Sage 100 Payroll 2.20.1 or higher).
If you are using Payroll in Sage 100 2017 or earlier, you will need to work with your Sage business partner to upgrade to Sage 100 2018 or higher (with Payroll 2.20.1 or higher) to remain compliant.
