Notes from the President

11 January 2022 khilton Notes from the President

Ken Hilton - President Red Wing Software

Seeing the recent storm devastation across the central United States really tends to put things into perspective. Our thoughts and prayers go to all those affected by the disaster.
We can each, individually, do our part to help wherever possible when events like this occur. As a company, Red Wing Software will do what we can to help those affected by the disaster get back to business and some sort of normal operation. We understand your financial information is not the top priority immediately after such events. When it does rise back toward the top of the list, please call on us if help is needed re-installing programs or backups, or for any other assistance our Support staff can provide. We’re here to help.

Why File Tax Forms Electronically?

05 January 2022 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!

Year-End Tax Forms

04 January 2022 StephanieE Customer Information
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 2021 forms are 25% off until January 31, 2022 (use promotion code RWCFITD when ordering).
From the Computer Forms, Inc. website, select Tax Forms, select the product you use, for example, CenterPoint 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.
