Changes from 2022 End of Year Information
NEW: We're excited to announce that Penta has selected a new preferred paper form supplier, Nelco Solutions!
Why did we make the change to Nelco Solutions?
- To simplify your end of year paper purchasing needs with a company that has a modern online ordering process and fantastic customer support
- Standardize our W-2 and 1099 generation program and simplify the printing process
- They have been in the W-2 and 1099 form industry a long time, they understand our needs and they understand your needs
- They have equivalent form sizes to reduce programmatic changes which eases the end of year tax kit delivery process
NEW: W-2 Form MW1284 (Four Down Style) will be deprecated as of this End of Year tax kit delivery and will no longer be selectable in PENTA.
