What End-of-Year procedures are required for Payroll? Where is Close Year?
December 2008 -- January 2009
No Close Year. You don't ever "Close Year" in 21st Century Accounting. The system is designed to let you pass seamlessly from one year to the next in all modules, including Payroll. Just start processing 2009 payrolls in 2009, once you've finished processing all your 2008 payrolls and any necessary adjustments. Produce 2008 W-2s (and 941s, 1099s, etc.) when you're ready, even after posting payrolls in 2009.

Finish all your 2008 processing before you start running 2009 payrolls. Once you've opened the Payroll Year 2009 in a given company, you can no longer process 2008 payrolls in that company. But you can finish up 2008 payrolls in a company if you haven't yet opened Payroll Year 2009 and posted a 2009 Payroll in that company. See Smart Tax for details.


How do I get names to print correctly on the 2007 W-2 forms?
January 2009
Employee name format. If you prepare W-2s from 21st Century Accounting Payroll on paper or electronically, enter your employee names in Payroll/Configure/Employees in the following format:
LastName, Suffix | FirstName MiddleInitialOrName
Examples:
de la Cruz, Jr | Martin
O'Hara | Thomas
Bates | Norman Xavier
Poe-Knickerbocker | Jane
McPherson | Donald P
SSA instructions specify entering the suffix (Jr, Sr, III, and so forth) only if it appears on the employee’s Social Security card. The employee name on W-2s must also agree with the spelling of the name as shown on the individual's Social Security card.
