Winfiler 2008 Update 6 (Version 3.08.06) 

(Updated 3/25/2009)

Highlights Include:

Reminder for State Fulfillment

• Through Express Services, you are able to file W-2, 1099-MISC, 1099-R, 1099-DIV & 1099-INT forms directly to the appropriate state agency. To help facilitate this for you, it is required that you file all your state forms through WinFiler’s Express Services at least 48 HOURS PRIOR TO THE STATE FILING DEADLINE.
• State Reconciliation Forms: Because Express Services prepares state reconciliation forms for the single return type (W-2, 1099-MISC, or 1099-R) that is selected for filing, any data that you enter on a reconciliation form should apply only to the single return type selected. This is especially important for any Tax Withheld or Tax Paid throughout the year that is reported on a reconciliation form; be sure to include only the tax that applies to the return type that you are filing.

New Features
