Sage 100

In case any of you are questioning why the 2 digit plan start month doesn't print on the ACA forms in Part II, it's because there's not a spot to enter that info. According to Sage support, it's working as designed. That information is optional for 2015 so the programmers didn't incorporate a field for capturing that data. They recommend either leaving it blank or manually filling it in.

So they knew it was going to be required at some point in the future, but since it was optional, they left it out????

I'm just the messenger. Why would we expect it to be any other way. You should have been on my call with them. It took me over half an hour to walk the support person through generating an ACA form. She said the calls are just starting to come in on ACA so she didn't have data ready and didn't have a clue how to do it. Instead of going through eFiling, she tried to generate forms from the ACA menu and then asked me if she was supposed to go into the Employer report. Patience patience patience... Grumble grumble grumble...

Most customers who require ACA reporting know all about it. Telling them they need to fill in manually is not going to go over well, and the next comment will be - what am I paying maintenance for? Wait until the new Payroll licensing is announced . . .
