As much we’d love the world to be completely paperless, if you’re not filing your 2020 tax forms electronically then you’ll need special paper—but what special paper?

Below is the detailed list by module and form. To simplify the process, the forms are available for purchase in multi-quantity packs at AccountMate Forms and we’ve listed the product item numbers here.

Payroll Tax Forms

  • Federal copy on 2-up on perforated blank paper—Items # 5207, 5222
  • State, employee and employer copies on 4-up on perforated blank paper—Items # 5209, 5221 (Note: The Employee copy can have the instructions printed at the back, but it is not required.)
