Enhanced Payroll Tax Reporting (EPTR)

Boost your productivity gain and eliminate hours of typing with Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Traverse Edition Enhanced Payroll Tax Reporting. Using this highly interactive reporting tool and your Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Traverse Edition payroll data, you’ll get over 300 certified state and federal reports, which can be printed on plain paper or filed electronically through a new optional service called eFile.

The time-consuming task of manually typing unemployment, wage withholding, and new hire reports is over. Whether your company is required to file magnetic media or you’re a smaller company just looking for a secure time-saving process, electronic filing streamlines the process of state and federal payroll. Since much of the critical information you need for payroll tax forms comes right from your Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP Traverse Edition data, Enhanced Payroll Tax Reporting helps reduce redundant entry or errors in entering the numbers. All you need to do is populate the remaining fields, verify, and file.

Over 150 state and federal agencies are involved in payroll reporting, and virtually all of them routinely change their forms. Many states have lowered the threshold for mandatory magnetic media filing (some as low as 50 employees). States are beginning to require eFiling as well.

You may spend up to one-third of your time preparing government reports. eFiling your reports has all the advantages of simplicity and none of the pitfalls of labor-intensive, physical handling. With Enhanced Payroll Tax Reporting, you’ll immediately get all the reports you’re looking for.

Updating your reports is easy. All you need to do is click the Update command and the new forms are downloaded and installed automatically from a website. Updated and approved reports are released quarterly, so you don’t have to worry about maintenance; the work is done for you. Guaranteed compliance effectively eliminates the risk of reports being rejected and saves you refiling costs, fines, and penalties that may be enforced.
