As year-end approaches, it’s more important than ever to ensure your Sage BusinessWorks system is running on a supported version—either 2024 or 2025. Upgrading before year-end isn’t just a best practice; it’s a critical step to help ensure smooth processing, accurate reporting, and uninterrupted support.
2026 tax updates will only be available on Sage BusinessWorks 2024 and 2025.
Why Upgrade Now?
-
Year-End Processing Compatibility
Older versions may not support the latest tax tables, Enhanced Tax Reporting (Aatrix) program files, or compliance requirements. Upgrading ensures your system is ready for year-end tasks like W-2s, 1099s, and financial closing. -
Access to Critical Fixes and Enhancements
Supported versions include important bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features that streamline your workflow and improve reliability. -
Avoid Disruption in Support
Sage only provides support for current versions. If you encounter issues during year-end processing, having an unsupported version could delay resolution.
