Question:

How do I install the Tax Update on a Server?

Answer:

The Peachtree Payroll Tax Service updates are automatically downloaded and installed by the Peachtree Accounting software program. Peachtree release 2009 will download the tax update file and will automatically install when Peachtree is closed on each workstation, similar to the manner in which Service Release updates are automatically installed upon exiting Peachtree.  If the update fails to start automatically and checking for updates prompts message, "There are no updates available at this time" you can also manually install the update by following the steps below for Peachtree version 2009.

For Peachtree releases 2006 through 2008, the payroll tax forms are installed only on the computer where the tax update was originally installed. To install the payroll tax forms on additional computers, please use the following steps in sections Peachtree Versions 2007 and 2008 and Peachtree Version 2006 to locate and run the tax update file.
 
Peachtree Version 2009
Peachtree Accounting will download the tax update file and save it to an updates folder within the Peachtree datapath. When a new tax update is made available, the update will automatically install when Peachtree is closed on the workstation, similar to the manner in which Service Release updates are automatically installed upon exiting Peachtree.
  1. On a network computer that has expired tax forms, double-click My Computer and browse to the Peachtree datapath.
  2. Open the Updates folder inside the datapath and locate the tax update file. Example: P:\Company\Updates.
    The tax update file name will appear in the format of payroll year, month of update, and the Peachtree version. For example, the filename of the October 2008 Payroll Tax Service Update for Peachtree Accounting 2009 is Tax2008Oct_Release2009.exe.
  3. Run the update file by double-clicking and follow the directions that appear in the wizard. Repeat steps 1-3 on any computer where the tax forms need to be installed.

Peachtree Versions 2007 and 2008
Peachtree Accounting will download the tax update file and save it to an updates folder within the Peachtree datapath. This file is located on the server, allowing other network computers to access and install the tax update.

  1. On a network computer that has expired tax forms, double-click My Computer and browse to the Peachtree datapath.
  2. Open the Updates folder inside the datapath and locate the tax update file. Example: P:\Company\Updates.
    The tax update file name will appear in the format of payroll year, month of update, and the Peachtree version. For example, the filename of the October 2008 Payroll Tax Service Update for Peachtree Accounting 2008 is Tax2008Oct_Release2008.exe.
  3. Run the update file by double-clicking and follow the directions that appear in the wizard. Repeat steps 1-3 on any computer where the tax forms need to be installed.
