Attention: Red Wing Software Tax-Exempt Customers – Please Read!

08 February 2019 rpalm Customer Information
Are you sales tax exempt and you receive Customer Care renewals and/or invoices from us that include sales tax? We are required to collect sales tax from all customers in the following states UNLESS we have a sales tax exemption form on file:
• Illinois • Indiana • Michigan • Minnesota
• Nebraska • North Dakota • Pennsylvania • Wisconsin
If your farm or business is exempt from sales tax, please email (accounting@redwingsoftware.com), fax (651.388.7950) or mail us a copy of your sales tax exemption form so we can update our records.
** ONLY if you receive an invoice and/or Customer Care renewal with sales tax included.
If you are located in these states but are receiving invoices and/or Customer Care plans from us that do NOT include sales tax, then that means we have already received a sales tax exemption form from you and you do not have to do anything at this time.
This request is only for those of you located in the states listed above. If you are NOT located in the states listed above, we do NOT need a copy of your sales tax exemption form.

New “Product” Feature Available in CenterPoint Accounting for Agriculture Version 12.15
A growing need for raised crop product inputs is traceability. Maintaining products purchased and the ability to provide a list of products applied to each field are often needed. The new “Product” feature added to version 12.15 of CenterPoint Accounting for Agriculture allows you to trace those needs. This new feature is available within the program at no additional cost. As crop inputs move from pre-purchase to work-in-process to harvested crops, a product detail flows with the input without additional accounts, so the account list remains clean. Additionally, the product stores customized fields of information, for example EPA registration number, active ingredients, or your own management details such as growing days on seeds. For detailed information, see the Understanding and Using Products document, Understanding and Using Products video, or other Product videos in the Products section here.

Ken Hilton - President Red Wing Software

I hope you had a joyous holiday season.
January is the busiest month here at Red Wing Software. With everyone closing out 2018, beginning 2019, and making sure their payroll information is up-to-date with the rapidly changing tax calculations, our support lines light up. We have prepared internally to answer the calls from our customers at a rate you’ve come to expect from us. You can help ensure a smooth transition to the new year by reviewing the documents and videos recently posted on our web site, and referred to in this newsletter, that answer frequently asked questions about your software.
I’d like to congratulate our support staff for consistently reaching 92% direct pick-up of calls coming in to our support lines. That percentage has steadily improved over the years to the excellent level it is today. Our entire staff has worked hard to achieve this goal, and they are prepared to continue this high level of service. Please join me in thanking them for their hard work.
All of us at Red Wing Software wish you a happy, prosperous, and safe New Year.
