Colorado.
We've added the FAMLI ID field to the Colorado Additional Information window (select Setup, Clients, and then the Payroll Taxes tab).
We've added the ability to file Form CO-PFML Worksheet electronically via FSET.
District of Columbia. The DC Treasurer now requires all employers to file Form FR-900Q electronically and won't accept paper copies of the form any more. We've removed the Paper filing method and added the Web fill-in method. The Internet filing method is still available.
Oregon. Starting with the first quarter 2023 tax filing period, the Oregon Paid Leave and Statewide Transit Tax are now reported on Form OQ. The Department of Revenue no longer accepts Forms STT-1 and STT-A electronically via FSET. Therefore, we've removed the Electronic filing method for the forms. If you need to file a prior year form, you still file Forms STT-1 and STT-A using the Paper filing method.
Vermont. We've updated the Healthcare Contribution rate used for Form WHT-436. Employers are exempt from paying the Healthcare Contribution if they have 4 or fewer full-time equivalent (FTE) employees. Effective as of 1st quarter 2023 reporting, employers must pay an increased Healthcare Contribution amount for each uncovered FTE employee above the 4 FTE exemption threshold.
Wisconsin. We've added the ability to create multiple Form 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC electronic files for the same client in the Process Electronic Forms screen.
