1099 Pro v2016.11.15

This is a required update in order to file 2016 tax forms with the IRS and/or upload files to the 1099 Pro Service Bureau.

NEW & IMPORTANT: The IRS filing deadline for all 1099-MISC forms with Box 7 (nonemployee compensation) amounts for either paper or electronic filing is now January 31st. The software has been updated throughout to reflect the new deadline. Our print, service bureau, e-filing, and export wizards have been updated to allow users to select 1099-MISC forms with Box 7 amounts only. The service bureau printing and mailing wizard now defaults to include IRS e-filing of these forms as well.

NEW: Reminder on screen if you have 1099-MISC forms with Box 7 Non-Employee Compensation (NEC) to file with the IRS by 1/31

UPDATE: 1099-MISC Box 7 changes.  The mag, print, and export wizards now have an option to include 1099-MISC forms with Box 7 only.  You can still select ‘All form types’ or ‘selected form types’ but if you have 1099-MISC forms selected they will be filtered based on your option.  Make sure to test each of these and ensure only 1099-MISC forms with Box 7 amounts get picked up.  Also ensure that if you don’t select 1099-MISC box 7 filtering that you get all of them.

UPDATE: Business rules update including a new rule where a reduced tax rate is allowed only if there is a tax treaty with that country.

UPDATE: Import Error for certain words in the First Name Field e.g.  Inc LLC Partnership...

UPDATE: Added electronic file generation.

UPDATE: eFileViewer to TY2016 specs.

UPDATE: IRS 1098 Mortgage Instructions updated

UPDATE: The paper filing module has been activated for filing paper forms via a 1096.

UPDATE: The Service Bureau upload module has been activated to provide for uploading forms for processing via the 1099 Pro Service Bureau. Available services include printing & mailing, federal filing, web presentment and more.

UPDATE: Help file contents.

FIXED: 1098 box 4 and box 6 were allowing more numbers to be entered then the visible space on the form allows.

This update also includes many other small visual and/or performance enhancements.
