Massachusetts Paid Family Medical Leave

To Massachusetts Customers,

We have discovered that BusinessWorks' implementation of the Mass. PFML tax caused the Employer portion of the tax to be added to employee's gross wages.  We have just finished issuing corrected W-2c forms.  The 941 is also incorrect.  To fix this the Employers tax deduction taxable boxes must be Unchecked.  To uncheck them we had to go into setup mode.  Sage support said they are looking into it but did not feel the need to notify any customers as they put a disclaimer that "Taxable Boxes: Generally all checked (Please check with a tax advisor for the plan's specific tax requirements)".

  • Wow!  I'm in Colorado and our State began the FAMLI leave in January 2023.  This just happened to us at EOY ~ Incorrect W-2 forms and 941. Nice of Sage to cover their assets and not clarify what we were protecting ourselves from. The State is clueless with direction as well, seems like they are all backing out and letting the chips fall where they may.  

    So far, this is the most helpful response I've seen to our dilemma.  Thanks David.
