Sage 100 1099 Compliance: What You Need to Know for 2024
December 5, 2024
Starting in 2024, the IRS has implemented a significant change in 1099 reporting requirements. Individual vendor names must now be separated into first, middle, and last name fields. This change affects all Sage 100 users who process 1099s for individual-type vendors, making it crucial to ensure your system is compliant.
Version Compatibility
Compliant Versions:
- Sage 100 version 2024.1 (7.30.1.0)
- Sage 100 version 2023.4 (7.20.4.0)
These version are fully equipped to handle the new IRS requirements. They automatically parse existing vendor names into separate fields and correctly populate the Aatrix preparer grid, ensuring seamless compliance with the new regulations.

Compliant Versions:
