End of Year Update

Your system will automatically download and install ASW 10 version 10.84.31.

In addition, a copy of the new federal tax tables has been uploaded to your system. Here is how to install it.

1). Complete your 2018 Payroll, and then reindex Payroll files ( Tools => Index => Payroll and then Index

2). Close your 2018 payroll

3). Using the Windows Explorer ( the folder icon on the task bar at the bottom of your Windows display ), look to the C: drive, and under that, find the ASW10s folder, and then select the MLS subfolder.

4). Find the file APAFTT.dbf and right click on it, selecting Copy

5). Find the Data subfolder and right click on it, selecting Paste

6). Answer Yes when asked about overwriting the file

7) Go back into ASW, and under Tools -> Index, select Payroll, then the Index button.

You now need to consult the IRS Schedule E for employers, and enter the default values for standard deductions, Social Security, and Medicare under Payroll Tools.

That is it.

Moving Toward ASW 11

Although we continue to fine tune and add some features to ASW 10, we will spend the remaining months of this year preparing a new Major Upgrade to ASW 11.  Here are some things you should know about this project:

  • ASW 11 is targeted for the first quarter of 2019.
  • ASW 11 will be a FREE upgrade to all DPP and rental customers
  • ASW 11 will be a simple installation on workstations only.  No changes will need to be made to the server.
  • The file for ASW 11 will automatically be uploaded to your server, and it will be easy to follow the instructions included on your own … no call will be necessary.
  • The ASW 11 upgrade will require ASW 10 to be installed.  If you are one of the very few on ASW 9, call right away to have your current system updated to 10.  ALL DATA TRANSFERS without loss.

We want your input.  If you have suggestions for a smoother experience in some areas of the program, or ideas for new elements you want added, PLEASE email Support@MasterLinkSoftware.com with your ideas.  Please send details so we can tie this into our work.  Also, include the contact person, and phone number in the email so we can work with the best person in your organization.
