New SMB Update is Available

Sage recently released a new update which includes revised federal withholding tax tables that reflect changes as a result of the recent economic stimulus legislation. This update also includes a change in how workers compensation is calculated in Utah.

Current Tech Support subscribers should have received an email notification, probably dated 03/19/2009, with a subject of "Sage Master Builder Software Update 09-C". This email contains a link and instructions on how to download and install the update.

Send us a note if you have any questions or concerns.

UPDATE

The new update, which is contained in a file named SMB1340.exe, inadvertantly broke the Master Builder API, which is necessary for interfacing with some third party applications. As soon as Sage realized the problem, they corrected it by issuing a patch for the API, SMBAPI1340.exe. So, if the API is important for your company, don't forget to download and install the API patch, SMBAPI1340.exe, after installing the tax update, SMB1340.exe.
