The following changes were made in this Maintenance Release:
* Electronic Filing of W2s *
PowerChurch Software has integrated state and federal e-filing of W2s in Version 11.5. The printing and mailing of the employees’ copies is also available. Certain states now require that you e-file, so it was imperative to roll out this functionality before the end of the year.
If this turns out to be a popular feature, it is possible that we could integrate the 1099-MISC and 941 e-filing services as well, but currently, only the W2 e-file is available for PowerChurch Software users.
Since this service is processed by a third party, it will require that you create an account on their site. The W2 data is transferred automatically from PowerChurch Plus for a seamless e-filing process.
With PowerChurch E-File, the pricing is very straight-forward and is documented on the page linked below. You only pay for the services you use.
