Changes to Year-End Updates for Sage 100 ERP

Tax Year 2013 is the last year Sage will maintain and support tax forms within the standard Sage 100 (formerly MAS 90 / MAS 200) Accounts Payable, Payroll and Electronic Reporting modules. 

Filings for Tax Years 2014 and later will only be available with the Sage 100 ERP integration to Federal and State eFiling and Reporting, powered by Aatrix, which is available with Sage 100 ERP version 4.3 and above. The Payroll Tax Tables will continue to be maintained for the supported versions of Sage 100.

Note for Sage 100 ERP Version 4.3:   The 2013 Q1 Tax Table Update, the 2012 Interim Release Download and the 2013 Form 941 (to be released in March 2013) are the last updates that will be released for version 4.30.  You must upgrade to a more current version of software in order to receive future updates.
