What is New in Sage 50 2022?

With this release, Sage 50cloud 2022.0 – U.S. Edition, you’ll see improvements that will save you time as well as help you stay compliant such as:

Support for State Family Leave Withholding:

• In 2020, the federal government employed an interim Paid Family Leave program under the Families First Corona virus Response Act as part of COVID-19 support programs. Some states have adopted their own permanent Paid Family Leave programs to help cover costs incurred due to current and future medical issues. These states include New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Washington D.C., New York, and Washington, with more states coming in the future. 

• In this release, Sage 50 has developed new functionality that allows for this new withholding as part of other state taxes withheld. They are magnifying the fields available to adapt state specific family leave withholding, both for the current states as well as allow them to add more states in the future. For a simple experience, when setting up a new company, users can select a Family Leave state during the Payroll Setup Wizard to populate new Family Leave withholding fields for both employee and employer. This process will setup the new Sage maintained payroll formulas to calculate each states specific withholding amounts.

Improved Banking Services Integration

With this improvement, you will have a better experience when connecting directly to your bank accounts. Direct connections, also known as Bank Feeds, allow you to download bank transactions and reconcile accounts, eliminating the cumbersome process of downloading and uploading transaction files. In this release, Sage 50 2022.0 has made updates to enable a faster, more reliable connection. New users will have a simple on boarding experience when adding banks to quickly be able to download their bank transactions. To take advantage of the update, existing users will need to migrate to the new service. Existing users will be walked through a simple, one-time conversion to the new services.

Help When Encountering Connection issues when Accessing your Shared Company

We’ve all been there, especially this past year. You’re hard at work on a shared company when suddenly something happens to your internet or connection. In this update, we’ve released a feature to help you through it. This new feature will show you what the problem is and give options on steps to remediate the issue. If you are experiencing a lost internet connection, you’ll receive guidance on how to fix the problem. If the problem is related to a Sage services outage and if a fix is not immediately available, you can now access your company files while offline, in read-only mode. If you need immediate access to your company, there are also options to open the company for editing purposes. 

Updates to 1099 References

For 2020 tax reporting, the IRS redesigned Form 1099-MISC and changed the box designations. They also reintroduced Form 1099-NEC to be used for reporting non-employee compensation. Although we addressed the reporting changes last year for the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC to ensure that the filing was correct, we did not have enough time to make these changes in the descriptive fields in Sage 50. In this release, we have now changed the 1099 default settings and box designations reflect the correct forms on which this data is reported.  

Sage ID Now Referred to as Sage:

You may notice with this release that Sage 50 has now updated a few screens and banners to remove the term Sage ID. Instead of being asked to enter your Sage ID, now you’ll be prompted to enter your Sage email address, or your Sage account details. The manufacturers decided to alter the name Sage ID to Sage because the login experience across your Sage services is a fully integrated and built-in part of your experience. You’ll still get the simplicity and security to access all your connected services with a single login. And you’ll see enhancements such as new self-service features and authentication protocols for enhanced security.
