Payroll Tax Form Selector

How Do I...

The Form Selector allows you to print federal and state tax forms on plain paper. If your company has subscribed to a Sage Business Care plan (Gold or Platinum) or a monthly subscription, you'll be able to generate current payroll tax forms based on your Sage 50 company data, enter or edit data on those forms, and then print the forms on plain paper, ready for signatures and for filing with the appropriate tax authorities. (Cannot print on dot-matrix printers.)

Note: You can now file your tax documents electronically if you have a Sage Business Care plan (Gold or Platinum) or a monthly subscription.

First, you select the form (federal or state) you want using the Form SelectorClick OK., and a special form viewer lets you preview the form onscreen before printing.
