As Sage moves into the future with Sage Abra Payroll, tax updates for the older versions of the software will cease. This means that those still using Sage Abra v7.X will need to upgrade to the latest version (v9.1 at the time of this post - read more about Abra v9.1 here). The cutoff date for Abra v7.X updates was previously January 2012, but Sage has now extended that date to the end of the first quarter of 2012. Those extra three months should help make everybody's transitions into the latest version easier. And remember, the upgrade from v7.X to v9.1 is included in your Sage support contract, so there's no new software to purchase.

Here's the official release from Sage:

To provide more opportunity for our customers on version 7.8 to upgrade their Abra product, we are extending the Quarterly Tax Update. Please review the updated schedule below. For users with Sage Abra Payroll functionality, the chart below provides the Quarterly Tax Updates schedule for a given period and supported versions of Sage Abra.
