CenterPoint Remove Transaction History Service Available

09 March 2022 StephanieE Customer Information
Red Wing Software is now offering a service to remove transaction history from your CenterPoint database(s) for any number of fiscal years and keep your beginning balances, outstanding payables, and receivables. Here are some reasons why you might want to remove transaction history.
• The SQL Express database is approaching the 10 GB Microsoft SQL Express database limit. (SQL Express is the default version installed on CenterPoint systems).
• Remove history that exceeds statutory retention requirements .
• After removing transaction history, you can clean up master files that no longer have history. (Master files include Customers, Vendors, Employees, Projects, Profit Centers, etc.).
• In some cases, there will be improved performance.
Normally, Red Wing Software can perform the remove transaction history service in an afternoon and get the database back to you by noon the next day. If your database contains three or more companies, it may take a little longer. The service is offered at no charge to customers.
Please call Red Wing Software at 800-732-9464 to schedule an appointment. You can also inquire by email at support@redwingsoftware.com.

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.
