CMS Professional 2009 Payroll Tax Update
Published by angie on July 2nd, 2009 tagged Tips & Tricks | Comment now »
Your CMS 2009 Payroll Tax Update Utility with changes as of June 25, 2009, is now available. Before you install this update, you must have CMS Professional 2009 SP1 installed. This 2009 Payroll Tax Update includes all recent withholding table changes for the states of Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and Vermont only. Hawaii and Pennsylvania’s changes are effective January 1, 2009 and Vermont’s changes are effective July 1, 2009.
You can download this update from the Customer Service Center (CSC) website as part of your Software Assurance agreement. To access the Payroll Tax Updates area of the CSC site click here. For installation instructions for the Payroll Tax Update, click here. I encourage you to check this area of the CSC site frequently to ensure you have the latest withholding tables for any states that you report. If you are a CD service subscriber, you can download the file from the CSC site now for immediate installation or wait for your CD which will be sent at the end of the month. Included on the CD are withholding changes released since the initial release of the 2009 PR Tax Update. If you do not have your password to the CSC site, please contact your account executive for assistance.
IMPORTANT: If your Cougar Mountain software has been customized, or if your original installation required more than the standard process, you need to speak with your reseller or whoever installed the software before you load the updates.
As a Software Assurance subscriber you also receive the Aatrix State and Federal tax forms update service. These forms are updated quarterly and we highly recommend that you run the update at the end of each quarter. To get the latest version of the tax forms, click here.
If you have any additional questions, problems, or require assistance loading these updates, please call Cougar Mountain Customer Support at (800) 390-7053. Additionally, if you purchased installation services in advance for this update, please be sure to call us to schedule an installation appointment. We also invite you to visit our website at http://www.cougarmtn.com/services/training to see how our training options and additional products and services can better serve you.

Happy Memorial Day!
Cougar Mountain Software wishes you a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend.
When you are out shopping the Memorial Day sales or camping with your families and friends this weekend, I thought it would be a good time to remind everybody of what Memorial Day really is:
Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day and is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service.
Three years after the end of the Civil War, Memorial Day was proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, (It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country) and flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. “Memorial Day is not about division. It is about reconciliation; it is about coming together to honor those who gave their all.”
Something to think about when you are celebrating this three day weekend.
