Software Updates

Latest Release 4.3.1 (11/27/2022)

Accounts Payable and Payroll customers should update to version 4.3.1 or higher before e-filing/printing 2022 year-end tax forms.

2022 Year End

We are busy preparing for 2022 year-end tax filing and 2023 payroll taxes! Do not process Tax Reports until final versions are released and installed!!!

All tax reporting and tax updates will require Keystone 4.3.1 or higher. Contact GivenHansco support for help preparing your system.

IMPORTANT: 2022 is the final tax year Keystone will directly support printing of 1099 and W-2 forms. For tax year 2023 and beyond these forms will need to be printed and/or e-filed using our third-party partner. For this reason we strongly recommend using our third-party partner for printing and e-filing all 2022 tax forms.
