Accounts Payable and Trust Accounting financial software now supports printing of the state payer ID number in Box 17 of the 1099-MISC form. This new feature will be a welcome change to Wisconsin firms who provide 1099-MISC forms to their vendors and payees.
To facilitate this feature, we added a new Firm’s State ID # field to Firm Information in System Configuration. As a result, this new field is also available in Tabs3 Statement Designer and Email Templates, as well as PracticeMaster Report Writer and Word Document Assembly. You can read all about this new feature in Knowledge Base article R11756 – Printing the State ID on APS & TAS 1099-MISC Forms.
We will be emailing all Wisconsin firms on November 6th about this new feature so they have time to update the software before they need to process their 1099 forms for 2017. If you work with firms in the Wisconsin region, plan on following up with them to make sure they are aware that this modification to 1099 forms is now available.
This new feature is available in Version 18.1.4.878 and later, which is now available for download.
