Margaret CPA in OH Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Go here http://www.ssa.gov/bso/bsowelcome.htm?__utma=230172574.55178981.1361651239.1362147742.1363788383.6&__utmb=230172574.5.9.1363788415237&__utmc=230172574&__utmx=-&__utmz=230172574.1361651239.1.1.utmcsr=(direct)|utmccn=(direct)|utmcmd=(none)&__utmv=-&__utmk=253808331 It's been 12 years since I first registered and it looks to be easier now. There is an option to register by telephone it seems. If I knew how to do a tinyurl I would but the site is Business Services Online for SSA. Hope it works!

ILLMAS Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yes the registration is very straight forward, but there are a couple of steps before uploading to SSA, contact me if you need help, I just did a couple so it's fresh in my head.

Margaret CPA in OH Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Same here about processing, Jack. I have several clients plus my own W-2's. Using AccuWage is easy as is the uploading and confirmation. Much better than paper for sure! I think the 1099 and W-2 functionality in ATX is really good. I would, in fact, pay additional for it should that come about or if that is the only survivor (but I have had almost no trouble on a stand alone and really hope ATX can pull it out of the morass it is in now). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulldogTom Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I just registered for the company I work at during the day and it was pretty simple. The upload from our accounting software package is outstanding. Took only a few seconds. Then two weeks later I got a letter from SSA. Thought I screwed it up. NOPE. Prior CFO did not file the 2011 W2's. Went back and uploaded those in a few seconds and it was taken care of. Pretty Slick.

WOO HOO!!! Once you get all the little checkmarks in place, it is slick like goose grease!!! I will NEVER mail a W-3, 1096, 941, 943 or 944 again!!!I get a printable acknowledgment for each file transmitted. Don't get no better!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joanmcq Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah, once I first efiled a 1099-misc, I said, Never again will I struggle with that damn red form! Hey I'm new to my own payroll. So when do I have to file the 941? Or with it really low, do I just do a 944? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joanmcq Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks, Jack. Seasonal help for the first time! She's running to the post office while I'm doing returns. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
