Available options
The options below are available thanks to the integration with Aatrix and Accounting Master. This integration provides three processing options for your W-2s, W-3s, and 1099s.

Complete Service – The Complete Service option allows you to work smarter, not harder, by printing, mailing, and filing your forms for you. You simply submit your data through the step-by-step wizard within Accounting Master. Once complete, Aatrix takes care of the rest. No running to the printer, tearing apart perforated pages, or stuffing envelopes. Plus, postage is included!

MACC Complete Service – If you’d prefer, you can sign up for the MACC Complete Service, where we’ll submit your information to Aatrix on your behalf, through your Accounting Master database.

Self-printing and filing – If printing and filing your own forms, the 2017 tax form ordering deadline is October 31st.

Year-End Suite available in Accounting Master 17.2
With the release of 17.2, there will be a one-stop location for year-end processing functions in the Year-End Suite. The Suite contains the maintenance screens and processes used to prepare your database for an upcoming year. Screens such as the Fiscal Year Setup, Labor Year, etc. will have an added company drop-down field when accessed from the Year-End Suite. This will allow for efficient movement from company to company.

When these independent processes are accessed from the Year-End Suite, there is now an additional comments area available to add/update your company specific process notes. Additionally, a Year-End Checklist report was added to the system to help in the organization of your year-end process.

Upgrades to 17.2 will begin in October. If you are interested in being scheduled for upgrade, please contact your Accounting Master Software Support Representative.
