DSD Sage MAS 90 Tech Tip 25 - Tech Tip: 2003 Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 W2 Printing

by Ken Phillips

No Federal changes have been made for 2003 W2 Forms. Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 versions 3.71, 3.70 and 3.61 may be used to print 2003 W2 forms. However, Sage MAS 90 3.61 does require program patch PR3031-T to print long names correctly. (Note: Verify the Q3-2003 Tax Tables are installed before printing the W2 forms).

Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 versions 3.40 through 3.60 can be used to print 2003 W2s with the installation of the 2001 W2 Interim Release Disk (or IRD) named IRD-PR.EXE, and installation of the PR3031-T program patch. (Note: Verify the Q3-2003 Tax Tables are installed before printing the W2 forms).

Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 2003 Magnetic Media (W2 and 1099) Filing.

Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 3.71 are required for W2 or 1099 Magnetic Media filing. Six years ago, the Social Security Administration (SSA) introduced a new set of file formats in the Magnetic Media Reporting and Electronic Filing (MMREF) publication for filing your W2s and 1099s magnetically. For 1099 Magnetic Media filing, the Sage MAS 90 3.71 MR3010-T program patch must also be installed.

If you must file 2003 1099-DIV on Magnetic Media, Sage will release an IRD specifically for Magnetic Media in January 2004.

The MMREF formats replace the previous TIB (Technical Information Bulletin) formats. The MMREF-1 specification is the only format the SSA will accept. If you are unable to upgrade to Sage MAS 90 3.71, procedures for installing Sage MAS 90 3.71 on a separate computer, and converting Payroll and/or Accounts Payable to the new level are available. Contact Sage Support Services, or DSD Professional Services for assistance.

If your Sage Software Maintenance Plan is not current, contact Stephanie Smith at DSD at 858-550-5900 for the upgrade.
