Sage Software Introduces e-Filing Advantage for Peachtree Customers

Sage Software today announced new e-Filing Advantage(1), now available for customers of both Peachtree 2007 and Peachtree 2006 who subscribe to the 2007 Peachtree Payroll Tax Update Service(2). This new addition to the Peachtree Payroll Tax Service will save considerable time for small businesses throughout the year, enabling them to focus on other critical tasks.

"e-Filing Advantage adds an important new dimension to our suite of payroll solutions for small businesses," said Connie Certusi, General Manager, small business accounting solutions. "This new solution is the ideal blend of in-house and outsourced payroll: small businesses can maintain the control of processing their payroll in Peachtree, while enjoying the peace of mind, speed and accuracy of having Sage Software file and deposit their payroll tax filings and payments for them. It's one less thing for them to think about throughout the year especially during year-end, when their time is at a premium."

e-Filing Advantage gives small businesses the control of running payroll themselves in house, with the added convenience of letting Sage Software handle the tedious process of federal and state tax filings and deposits. Businesses can save the time they traditionally spend printing, filing and mailing W2s to employees during busy year-end. Sage Software will submit the 940, 941, 941B, 943, 945, W2 and W3 federal forms and more than 230 state forms for all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, freeing up that time for small businesses to spend on other business-critical tasks. e-Filing Advantage also increases the accuracy of filings and deposits by reducing the amount of human interaction that can cause processing errors; at the same time, payroll data resides in Peachtree for easy reporting.

Pricing and Availability

e-Filing Advantage is available via subscription, priced at $199 for use of e-filing service for one company or Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). The subscription year runs concurrently with the Peachtree Payroll Tax Update Service (12/1/2006-11/30/2007); the service may be pre-ordered today and can be used beginning on December 1, 2006. Additional subscriptions for additional FEINs are available for $150 each. For more information, please contact 1-877-231-3761 or visit www.peachtreepayroll.com
