Year-End Tax Forms

31 December 2019 StephanieE
As the end of 2019 approaches, we would like to suggest the forms, perforated paper, and envelopes that you may need to purchase for processing W-2s, 1099s, and ACA forms (for CenterPoint Payroll only). Forms, perforated paper, and envelopes can be purchased from Computer Forms, Inc. at redwing.computerforms.biz, by calling 800-458-0158, or by clicking the Order Checks and Forms icon on the Red Wing Software website. All 2019 forms are 25% off until December 31, 2019 (use promotion code RWCFITD when ordering).
From the Computer Forms, Inc. website, select Tax Forms, select the product you use, for example CenterPoint, Red Wing Payroll, or TurningPoint, and then select Order Laser W-2 Forms, Order Laser 1099 Forms, or Order ACA-1095 Forms (for CenterPoint only) to display the W-2, 1099 or ACA forms, perforated paper, and envelopes.
Note: The W-2 and 1099 forms (excluding the Federal Red Copy) can be printed on the same plain perforated paper (if you choose to order the blank perforated paper with no backer instructions) and use the same envelope. You can print the W-2 and 1099 forms on plain paper, but the IRS recommends the forms be printed on perforated paper. The W-3 can be printed on blank plain paper.

Why File Tax Forms Electronically?

30 December 2019 StephanieE Customer Information
Still thinking about trying electronic tax form filing? Filing tax forms electronically (“eFiling”) is by far the fastest and most efficient method. CenterPoint Payroll allows customers to file electronically, and information for tax forms is pulled directly from the information within CenterPoint Payroll. That information is then seamlessly placed onto the form on your computer, where forms can be saved, and can then be filed electronically via the internet. With this method, there are no stamps, forms or envelopes to be purchased. Also, filing happens instantly so there is no time delay for the mail. Filing electronically can also save significant time during the payroll process. Make this your year to increase efficiency during your tax form filing process, and give electronic filing a try!

40th Anniversary Customer Stories

22 November 2019 StephanieE
Customer: Jack Kaschmitter, Paynesville, Minnesota
My story goes back to about 1983 with the name of Red Wing Business Systems. I have lived on and now taken over the dairy farm I am on. At the time of computers being introduced to the ag and farm world, Red Wing Software was the only software for use on a Radio Shack TRS-80 computer. It is only now that I remember the name of John Chandwick, who was my go-to man for answers. Thinking of it, I have been doing my personal books back then, and now operating this farm for over 35 years and still using the GL and AP modules. I certainly enjoy the ease of check writing.
Congratulations to Red Wing Software on 40 years.
