21st Century Accounting Software Upgrades

21st Century Accounting Version 8.0.05

Enhancements in 8.0.05

    1099-NEC - If you have vendors set up to be recorded on a 1099, you will also be able to produce the data for the 1099-NEC. Box 1 of the 1099-NEC is supported and will be filled in regardless of which 1099 Box you have elected in Payables/Configure/Vendors. To produce the data for Box 1 on your pre-ordered 1099-NEC form, go to Payables/Print/1099 NEC. If you need to adjust the placement of the Box 1 amount to suit your pre-ordered forms, check Customize Reports and Forms in the System menu. When you preview the form in 1099 NEC, you can move the blue lines to adjust the placement.

    2020 Form 1096 - Changes to the 1096 for 2020 include the addition of a box designated 1099-NEC (71) for Vendors that require the Form 1099-NEC. C21 does not support more than one box on the 1096, however, there is a workaround for the 1099-NEC Box on the 1096.

  1. Go to System and check 'Customize Reports and Forms.'
  2. In Payables/Print/1099 Payments, preview or print a report for the year to see which Box is checked for your Vendors.
  3. In Payables/Print/1096s, select the Vendors that required the 1099-NEC form (Box 7 with this update). Click Browse next to Selected Vendors and check any Vendors that required this form. See the 1099 Payments report if you are unsure.
  4. Click Preview.
  5. If you hover over the X that would normally go in the 1099-MISC Box, you will see blue lines appear that turn red when you click on them. Click the lines and drag the X over so that it will line up inside the 1099-NEC box on whatever preprinted form you are using. We recommend that you print it out on a blank piece of paper and line it up before printing on your form. When you close out of the Preview, if you do not save, the X will return to the original position.

    1099-MISC - Changes have been made to the 1099 - MISC. The following table shows how the changes correspond to Box selections for 2020.

    Positive Pay - You can now export a CSV file to accommodate Positive Pay banking requirements. To access these exports, go to System/Company/Export/Custom.

    • In the 'Data to export' box, use the pull-down arrow to select either PositivePay1 or PositivePay10. Both of these exports include the Account Number, Check Number, Check Amount, Check Date, and Payee Name for any checks that have not been reconciled. The PositivePay10 export pads the account number to make 10 digits.
    • Select the 'Export type', either CSV or Tabbed.
    • The Export file name will be automatically filled in. If you wish to change this location, browse to the location of your choice.
    • You must enter a Check Date range to produce the file and select either All or a specific bank account.
    • Click OK to produce the file which can be found at the location indicated. If you wish to rearrange items in the CSV file, open the file in excel and rearrange the columns as needed.
