Version 2025.4.1 release notes

We released version 2025.4.1 on January 8, 2026 with the following changes.

Reports

We updated the Tax Code Worksheet accounting report for the 2025 tax year.
note
If your firm has modified the predefined version of the report, the system won’t overwrite your existing report with an updated version. If this is the case, you’ll need to make the necessary changes to your customized report manually, or you'll need to select
File
, then
Restore Default
 to revert to the predefined version.

Report Designer

We added the following sections of variables to the variable tree:
  • Payroll > Check > Employer Taxes > State > FLI
  • Payroll > Check > Employer Taxes > State > FLI > Location and Department Distributions

Layout Designer

We added the following sections of variables to the variable tree for payroll check layouts:
  • Payroll > Check > Employer Taxes > State > FLI
  • Payroll > Check > Employer Taxes > State > FLI > Location and Department Distributions

One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) changes

We added the
OBBBA OT
 field to the
Enter Batch Handwritten Payroll Checks
 screens.
  • The field is a non-calculated field and any values manually entered won't affect the net pay of the payroll check.
  • Its sole purpose is to record and track the overtime premium portion that exceeds the regular rate of pay (generally, the “half” portion of “time-and-a-half compensation”).
  • Accounting CS will use this amount when determining the qualified overtime compensation to report in
    Box 12 Code TT
     on 2026 Form W-2.
note
As further guidance becomes available from the IRS, we plan to enhance the calculations behind the
OBBBA OT
 field to be more streamlined in a future release.

Accounting CS Payroll, for live processing

We added
Hours worked
 as an available selection to the
Delay benefit accrual until
 and
Delay accrued hours availability until
 fields in the Eligibility section of the
Accruable Benefits
 screen. (Ideas Community #1197)
