Payroll compliance

We enabled the Payment and Reconciliation options for the
Save overrides by period end date for the selected form types
checkboxes on the
Preferences
tab in the
Firm
screen (Idea Incubator #328).
With this update, all overrides for payment forms have been deleted. All overrides for reconciliation forms have been associated with the last processed period end date.
When the checkbox for a specific form type is left unmarked (current behavior), all overrides will be displayed on those forms regardless of period end date.
When the checkbox for a specific form type is marked, all overrides will be associated with the period end date of the form being processed.
When the checkbox for a specific form type is marked and later unmarked, all overrides for that form type will be cleared on all clients.
We enhanced the user interface of the Diagnostics pane in the
Edit Payroll Tax Forms
screen.
Diagnostics are now broken out into the following 4 tabs:
Critical
e-File Critical
e-File Payment Critical
Informational
The Diagnostics pane is now modal, letting you place it anywhere on the screen or across multiple monitors.
