USAS-R v8.48.0 Release Notes

Summary

This release of USAS-R contains a patch as detailed in the release notes below.  Please keep in mind these release notes only reflect the changes included in this release.  There are many other features of the software that were previously released that will not be reflected in these release notes.  General information about all of the features available in USAS-R can be found in our USAS-R Documentation.  There is a section in the documentation that also details the significant changes between USAS-R and Classic USAS. 

Important Highlights

Improvements

• The CFDA number website has changed.  The tooltip for the CFDA number has been updated to display the new URL.

• Implemented the ability to truncate the TIN/EIN when generating 1099s.  This option applies to Copies B and C only per IRS rules.

• The ability to schedule a job in order to generate 1099 print forms has been implemented.  You can also generate the 1099 print forms from the 1099 Extract page as well.   Either way you choose to generate the print forms, a copy will download for you to print and a copy will also be sent to the file archive.  It's worth noting that our 1099 changes are ongoing and therefore are not yet complete.  I will be sure to clarify in future release notes when all of our planned 1099 print changes have been completed.
  
  

  • You can submit a job to run a specify Copy or you can submit a single job to generate all Copies (B, C, 1 & 2).  Copy A has not yet been implemented and will be done on a later Jira issue.

  • New parameters were added to the IRS Form 1099 Submission Configuration under the heading "Job Parameters"  These must be populated here to apply to the documents created by the jobs.  If populated here they will also apply to the 1099 Extract UI.  Those fields are:

    • Truncate EIN/TIN

    • Exclude Vendors With No Tax Id

    • Approved for the combined Federal/State Filing Program

    • Amount Type Limit

    • Royalty Type Limit

  • Anyone who previously had access to 1099s will have access to the new jobs.
