Preparing and printing year-end tax forms
AccountEdge Plus only
You can use your software to print many of your year-end tax forms and reports, including forms P14 and P60, and the P11 and P35 reports.
■
Forms P14 and P60
■
P11 NIC and PAYE reports
■
P35(CS) and Year-end Summary reports.
■
P14 / P60 Summary Report.
Even if you e-file your year-end tax forms, you should print these forms and reports before you finish your tax year and start a new one. For more information, see Protecting against data loss.
Use only official printed P14s and P60s
When you use your software to print form P14 for submission by post, or if you print form P60 for distribution to your employees, you must print your data on pre-printed copies of the official tax forms. The form templates that are built into your software are designed to align your printed data so that it appears in the correct fields on the printed laser portrait (LP) forms.
To prepare and print original year-end tax forms for submission by post

note : Your P14s must include the correct NINOs.
HMRC will no longer accept the temporary National Insurance number ‘TN’. If you aren’t sure if all NINOs on your P14s are in the correct format, you can use the ‘test file’ option in the Finish window of the assistant to test this data before you file an official return. For more information, see Submitting test data before e-filing.
