Changes for Reporting of SOC Codes in Federal and State Tax Reporting

Changes were made to how Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes are passed to Aatrix. Most recently, SOC codes will be required on the Washington state quarterly tax form, starting with the fourth quarter of 2022. To print this tax form, you must have Sage 100 Payroll 2.22.3 installed. SOC Codes are entered on the Taxes tab in Employee Maintenance. In the future if SOC codes are required to be reported for any other state, no additional program changes should need to be made in Sage 100 Payroll.

Sage 100 Payroll 2.22.2

The following changes were made in version 2.22.2.

Create A/P Invoices for Payroll Taxes and Deductions

In Payroll Option you can integrate the Payroll module with Accounts Payable. When the modules are integrated, you can set up deductions and payroll taxes so that Accounts Payable invoices are created for them when you update the Payroll Check Register. This makes it easy to create checks to pay the deductions and taxes.

Deduction Code Maintenance

When the (Integrate with) Accounts Payable check box is selected in Payroll Options, an A/P Invoice button appears on the screen. To create Accounts Payable invoices for the deduction, click this button and enter a vendor number. Options for grouping deductions and separate invoice lines for each employee are also available. For more information, see Set Up Deductions to Create A/P Invoices in the help.

Company Tax Group Setup

When the (Integrate with) Accounts Payable check box is selected in Payroll Options, the following fields appear on both the Main and Additional tabs in Company Tax Group Setup: 

  • Vendor No.
  • Vendor Name
  • Invoice Prefix

To create Accounts Payable invoices for the tax, enter a vendor number. Use the Invoice Prefix field to group taxes onto one invoice. Fore more information, see Set Up Taxes to Create A/P Invoices in the help.
