In late Fall 2024, we will publish:

• updates for the NYS-1 Online Services Web Upload in Publication 66, Electronic Reporting of Form NYS-1 Information, and

• updates for the NYS-45 Online Services Web Upload in the new Publication 72.5, Electronic Reporting of Form NYS-45 Information.

As of December 9, 2024, NYS has not published the new requirements.  Reference https://www.tax.ny.gov/bus/wt/changes-2025/forms-pubs.htm  

The NYS-45 Report program uses the file layout requirements currently detailed in Publication 72, Electronic Reporting of Form NYS-45 Information.   

Tyler cannot move forward until NYS publishes the details of their new requirements in Publication 72.5, Electronic Reporting of Form NYS-45 Information. 

Without Publication 72.5 we have no way of knowing what is actually changing, what we need to do, or what the timeline would be for completing those changes. 

In the interim, we are subscribed to Withholding tax so we're emailed when changes are announced.
