Resolution/Fix/Answer

There is not a way to create the report from within PENTA. Please follow the steps below to obtain the report:


  1. Create a support ticket with the subject line "MA-FML Reporting Script" and set status to critical.
  2. Include in the support ticket each LE OU that you need to generate the report for
  3. Penta support will remotely connect and then run a script which will gather the information needed for quarterly filing
  4. Penta support will then attach an excel file containing the reporting information for each LE OU. This will be just the data and not ready for upload yet.
    • Because the file contains SSN's it will be password protected. The password will be provided to you via a phone call for security reasons so please include a phone number in the support ticket.
  5. Review the file for accuracy. Important:
    • Independent Contractor is hard coded to be 'N' on the report. If you had any independent contractors you will need to find them and update the field to 'Y'
    • Opt-In individual is also hard coded to 'N' on the report. If you had any employees that were opt-in then you will need to update the field to 'Y'
  6. Copy and paste the data from our supplied excel file into the official MAPFL excel template which you can download from your MassTaxConnect account.

Complete filing via the MassTaxConnect website
