## These release notes document improvements to the Checkwriters software released on 07/10/2026.

### Employee Demographic Updates

For users with access to **Employee Center →** [**Demographics**](https://help.checkwriters.com/knowledge/employee-center-demographics?hsLang=en), **Hire Employees →** [**Add New Employee**](https://help.checkwriters.com/knowledge/new-hire-guide?hsLang=en),or **Hire Employees →** [**Rehire Employee**](https://help.checkwriters.com/knowledge/can-i-rehire-employees-through-onboarding?hsLang=en), we have enhanced the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code experience and added a new field to accommodate Secondary Treasury Tipped Occupation Code (TTOC) updates.

**More Info:**

- Learn more about TTOC from the [Internal Revenue Service (IRS)](https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/occupations-that-customarily-and-regularly-received-tips-on-or-before-dec-31-2024)
- Learn more about SOC Codes from the [U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics](https://www.bls.gov/soc/2018/major_groups.htm).

Code fields.](https://help.checkwriters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/2026-07-09_14-26-45.png?width=670&height=185&name=2026-07-09_14-26-45.png)

#### Enhancement – SOC Codes

We have updated the [**Std Occupational Classification (SOC) field**](https://help.checkwriters.com/knowledge/soc-codes-for-employees?hsLang=en) to a dropdown list; previously, this was a free-text field. Each option in the dropdown list includes the official occupation title and any Treasury Tipped Occupation Code (TTOC) associated with the SOC.

**Important:** If a tipped employee requires a TTOC, enter the SOC code that corresponds to the appropriate TTOC in the **Std. Occupational Classification (SOC)** field.

For example, if an employee is a bartender (TTOC 101), you would select the corresponding SOC code (35-3011) from the dropdown menu.

#### New Field – Secondary TTOC

We have added a new field, **Secondary Treasury Tipped Occ. Code** (Secondary TTOC) for employees who require an *additional* TTOC reported on their Form W-2.
