Anyone on tech support? This is unprofessional Easy ACCT has always been so good.

Withholding is not correct for 2021 payroll. Has anyone been able to fix this yet. I've been on hold for about 2 hours both yesterday and today. No answer from tech support all week!

What version of the program are your running? (Help/About/SystemInfo)

I'm trying to run payroll today, had 87 withholding errors.  What is going on?  

Did you ever get a hold of anyone?  This is NOT acceptable.

it says that there are no new updates and I'm on the most current version.

'm assuming you have purchased the 2020/2021 version. You need to go and download the newest version. Here is a copy of the knowledge base article.

Yes I purchased 2020 months ago.  Never got any email reminder that it was ready to install.  I hope that's the problem.  Also, when printing the prior year W-2s and 4th Qtr 941, which version should be used? 

[MilldawgCPA]

• The update will have the 2020 941 and 940 forms in it. The 940 is not printing the federal id number currently, we are waiting on version 2 that was supposed to be released on the 7th. Were you able to use the link?

[meforBKEASY]

Yes, and I thank you for posting that link! I have trouble finding the intuit login for EasyAcct, when I got to their website it barely mentions Easyacct as a product.  Frustrating, Intuit's lack of attention to BKEASY makes me wish they never bought it in the first place, yet I still stick with it.  Appreciate your help greatly and will avoid printing any 940's today, thanks for the heads up.

if you are still uncertain

I download the Info Return system

Download from EZ ACCT to IRS

if you do this the drivers for each year will be there - if not when you update your software in a year you will not be able to print/reprint 2020 W-2's

We had the same issue.  It took 6 calls and 15 hours on hold over a 3 day period to finally find one tech person that knew what she was doing - and come up with a solution in less than 2 minutes of the start of our phone call.  Another tech had us uninstall and reinstall 2019-2020 several times and could not figure out why it didn't work! 

I don't know why they did it this way, but I definitely don't understand why they didn't send any notifications that they were changing the update process for a new year - and they are going to be handling the new years this way in the future too.  Our office had payrolls go out late because we couldn't get this fixed before payroll day, which we started trouble shooting 2 full days before!  

Make sure to uninstall the 2019 version and then install 2020.  The tech said this will most likely be the way new years are handled, so expect to do the uninstall/install every year now.
