AccountEdge Payroll Forms Service
We work with a company called Aatrix who provides the ability to both print and E-File many Federal and State Payroll Forms. Aatrix provides the W-2 and W-3 printed forms at no extra cost. AccountEdge also has the ability to print 1099s to pre-printed forms (these are not provided through Aatrix or AccountEdge but can be purchased at an office supply store or through AccountEdge Checks and Forms).
All other forms (940s, 941s, State Forms, etc) are included in our Payroll Tax Service add-on, which is $30/mo. To enroll in the Payroll Tax Service plan, please visit My Account to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need a Payroll Forms Registration Code?
No. Registration codes have been retired. Forms access comes with your active Payroll Tax Service subscription.
I file for multiple EINs. Do I pay more?
No. The $30/month plan applies whether you file for one EIN or several. Multi-EIN customers who previously paid for the $149 plan will now pay less annually.
Are there per-employee fees?
No.
I still see watermarks on my forms. What should I do?
Make sure your Payroll Tax Service subscription is active in My Account and that AccountEdge is up to date. If watermarks still appear, contact Support.
