Resolution/Fix/Answer
There is not a way to create the report from within PENTA. Please follow the steps below to obtain the report:
- Create a support ticket with the subject line "MA-FML Reporting Script" and set status to critical.
- Include in the support ticket each LE OU that you need to generate the report for
- Penta support will remotely connect and then run a script which will gather the information needed for quarterly filing
- 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.
- 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'
- 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
