Installing Federal and State Tax Reporting

Overview

Federal and State Tax Reporting software allows you to print and electronically file your payroll tax forms and 1099 forms using signature-ready plain paper tax forms. Every report is saved in its own history or draft file for easy retrieval.

Share and NT File System (NTFS) Permissions

For Sage 100 Advanced and Premium, on the server where Sage 100 is installed, you must set the share permissions to Change. For users that will generate eFiling forms and reports, set the Write permissions to the following folders (where XXX is the company code):

...\MAS_XXX\APXXX\eFilingReporting

...\MAS_XXX\PRXXX\eFilingReporting

The share permissions and folder NTFS permission must be set up before users can use Federal and State Tax Reporting.
