Why the Aatrix Federal forms don't print in red

Aatrix has an exemption from the Internal Revenue Service's and Social Security Administration's red ink printing requirement.

You don't have to print the Social Security Administration copies in red ink.

The Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration accept the approved Aatrix forms printed from Sage on a laser printer using black ink.

This applies to forms accessed from these locations:

Sage 300 CRE

1. Open Payroll.
2. Select Tasks, Federal eFile and Reporting.

Sage 100 Contractor

1. Open 5-4-1 Payroll.
2. Select Federal and State Tax Filing, Federal Forms.

You can print and submit these forms in black ink through the applicable Aatrix federal forms tax menu.
