Winfiler 2006 3.06.04 

(Updated 3/13/2007)

Highlights Include:

Update Highlights include:

• Express Services Prepaid Code - A prepaid Authorization Code can now be entered for
  W-2C forms in addition to W-2 and 1099 Series forms.
• W-2C - When creating a W-2C from an existing W-2, the Previously Reported column of the second line 19, Local Income Tax, will now correctly fill from the existing W-2 form's Locality Two Tax Withheld. Previously it was filling from Locality One Tax Withheld.
• W-2C – Line 12 Amount fields were changed to accept a larger amount to match the W-2.
• W-3C – In rare cases some values were not appearing on the W-3C prep screen after the W-2C returns were summed when printing or previewing Copy A. That has been fixed.
• 1098-T - In some cases the 1098-T displayed an "object reference" error when some fields did not exist after importing. That has been fixed.
• Magnetic Media - When creating magnetic media for 1099 forms, if a Payee for the selected Payer does not have any 1099 returns to process, that Payee was causing an 'Object Reference Error.' This update allows the process to bypass (ignore) those Payees with no 1099 returns.

• QuickBooks Import – The WinFiler Import wizard provides a simple way to import your payroll data from QuickBooks® into WinFiler. A 2004 or newer version of QuickBooks® Pro, Premier or Enterprise Software is required.
