| ■ | New Alternative 1099 Print Formats - We are introducing new laser formats for most of the 1099 forms. These forms were designed so that the form, instructions and payor/recipient name and address (in the bottom portion for a window envelope) all print on 1 page. All you have to do is print and then fold into a standard #9 window envelope. This format will save both time and money. |
| ■ | Secure Cloud Backup - We now offer offsite backup with two options in addition to local backup. You can create a local backup on your computer and it can either be sent to your own FTP server or you can use our free secure cloud server. |
| ■ | Batch printing of proforma and edit reports - We have added batch printing capability to these reports with advanced user tagging features. Simply select the payors you want and the printing will be done in 1 shot. |
| ■ | New W-2 Print format with 2D Barcode - A few years ago we introduced the printing of a 2D Barcode on the W-2 form. You could optionally print it on an employee's copy so that a tax preparer could scan in the W-2 into certain 1040 programs. For 2011, SSA has issued optional specifications to include the barcode on Copy A of the W-2. Since we already have this capability we will be implementing it. |
| ■ | Forms added to the program - 1099-G, 3921, 3922, 944 and 945 |
| ■ | Electronic Filing Wizard Improved - Last year we introduced a new feature where the program would automatically log in to either the SSA or IRS website and submit the file. There were a few problems last year in that users were getting locked out after invalid attempts. We have implemented corrections and this feature works great now. We also added a new feature where you can check the file status of any submission with 1 click of a button. Also the auto connect now handles corrections and resubmissions. |
| ■ | State Generic Electronic File - In addition to our regular State Electronic Filing routine, we developed the ability to extract the basic information required for a state into an Excel spreadsheet. This is useful for those states which now have the ability to upload a CSV or Excel file. Each state has their own specifications so you may need to modify the file but you get a great starting point. |
| ■ | Payor Alternate Addresses - This feature has been previously available on Form W-2 only. We have now expanded it to most of the 1099 forms. Any record can be designated to show different payor information. This is very useful when you need to override the payor name and address for specific records such as a profit sharing plan that utilizes the same Federal ID# or you just want to show a different address for another location within the same company. |
| ■ | Recipient Address Override - On certain 1099 forms you now have the ability to fully override the recipient information. |
| ■ | Online Help now on the internet - We have changed our online help system so that it is now internet based. For those without an internet connection local online help will still be available. |
| ■ | Added support for more pressure-seal formats - We have added support for more forms to use the pressure-seal formats provided by Nelco. These formats require the use of special machinery which print and seal the form at the same time. |
| ■ | New Universal Formats - We have added additional Universal format designs for some 1099's. This is a great format to use. All recipient copies appear on 1 page along with the instructions. |
