  • State Reporting - Florida (FL) is now listed as a reportable state from the "Work With My Tax Forms" menu (CS-3005)
  • Export - Functionality now integrated with custom query builder for filers and recipients.
  • PII Masking Security Feature now available (ASP-600, ASP-627, ASP-628)
    • Purpose:  To mask Personally Identifiable Information (PII) when displayed in the ASP (Web) interface of the 1099 Pro software. This will be for specific ASP (Web) areas only as some areas/functionality (i.e printing & exporting) are already governed by other Security & Administration items.  PII includes:
      • The recipient TIN (EIN or SSN) on any tax form.
      • The recipient Date of Birth (DOB) on the 1042-S, 1095-B, and 1095-C tax forms
    • The masking feature will mask the first five digits, or all digits, of the TIN or first four digits of the DOB. For example:
      • ***-**-6789 or ***-**-****
      • **-***6789 or **-*******
      • **/**/1980 or **/**/****
    • The idea is that Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) access PII daily, on tax forms, which is visible to anyone looking at the user’s screen or if a screen is left on. This measure will mask that PII from being fully displayed.
    • The PII Masking functionality will be built into the Security & Administration and will be able to be included in Access Groups (the bottom two options). This means that it can applied to entire security profiles (roles) and not on an individual level.
    • NOTE:  Please contact your account manager for further details of this new feature.
