Payroll Tax Update Released

Microsoft has released the Round 9 U.S. Payroll Tax Update. This includes the changes to California State Taxes which are effective November 1, 2009, as well as all other changes that have been made this year to date. Please note that if you do not have any employees who reside in California you do not need to install this update at this time, unless any of the following situations apply to you:

• You have employees in Louisiana or Missouri and you have not previously installed the Round 6 update
• If you haven’t installed the Round 4 tax update and require the changes it includes. The program code portion of the Round 4 tax update contained HR and Payroll COBRA changes required by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, HR Form I-9 changes, and bug fixes. Note: This installation does require an additional code update. Please contact Collins Support, support@collinscomputing.com, for more information and help installing this.
