WAMS Build 422 Released!Wednesday, January 21, 2026This update contains critical updates for all users!
* If you submit 1099 forms with the IRS FIRE system, update WAMS before proceeding.
* Major H-2A changes - Features have been added to support new OEWS-based contracts
* 1099 FIRE - If your 1099 file was rejected due to an issue with "Excess Golden Parachute Payments", you should update to this version, re-create your electronic file in WAMS, and then re-submit it to the IRS FIRE system. This issue could affect files containing 1099-NEC created before Build 421.
* Important Tax Updates - for New Mexico, Michigan and Louisiana.
* User Rights - Update immediately if you're controlling access to WAMS features with User Rights. This version corrects an issue that could previously allow users to access some options that should have been blocked by your user rights settings.
