Process electronic payroll tax forms

After you have queued electronic forms on the Process Payroll Tax Forms screen, follow these steps to process and send the forms.
note
  • Accounting CS queues electronic files and displays them on the Process Payroll Tax Forms screen only if the
    Filing copy
     checkbox is marked in the Print window when you process the payroll tax forms.
  • Any liabilities related with the queued files are pending at this point, and aren't included in the
    Liabilities
     tab of the Print Checks screen.
  • There's a per-return transmission cost for filing federal 94x forms electronically; enrollment files don't accrue a fee. There's no extra transmission cost for filing state forms electronically. For many firms, it may be more cost efficient to get an unlimited e-filing license. Contact your sales representative for pricing information.
