October 1st Affordable Care Act Deadline Current employees must be provided with written notice by October 1, 2013. Employees hired after October 1, 2013, must be provided with notice at the time of hire. For 2014, notice is considered provided at the time of hire if it is provided within 14 days of the hire date. The Department of Labor (DOL) has provided two model notices—one for businesses that offer a health plan, and one for businesses that do not offer a health plan—to assist employers. Both notices are included in the latest updates to Payroll System, TaxTools, and Small Business Tools. If you use any of the above programs, make sure you have updated to the latest version(s) so that you will have access to the notices. You can also download the notices from the DOL website in PDF format. Although the DOL states on its website that "there is no fine or penalty under the law for failing to provide the notice," we encourage compliance.

The Social Security Optimization for Married Couples module will determine the optimum age for each spouse to file for benefits. It will also determine if it is beneficial to apply such social security spousal options as File and Suspend, Restricted Spouse Benefit, and Voluntary Suspension of Benefits. The optimum plan may provide thousands of dollars more in benefits than start ages typically chosen by Social Security recipients. The module will be included in the 2014 versions of both TaxTools and Financial Planning Tools. Click the preceding program links for more information or to order. W2/1099 Released

You will receive a form starter kit—an assortment of red forms, envelopes, and blank perforated stock—if you renewed W2/1099 by May 31st. If you are to receive both a CD and a starter kit, they will arrive in the same shipment. CFS Customer Service
