Free Pre-Recorded Virtual Classroom Sessions on W-2, ACA, and 1099 Forms

03 January 2020 StephanieE
The live Virtual Classroom will be on vacation during December and January. Sessions will resume in February.
Although the live Virtual Classroom is on vacation, we are pleased to offer our Red Wing Software customers an opportunity to learn more about W-2, 1099, and Affordable Care Act (ACA) year-end tax forms, via free pre-recorded sessions in our online Virtual Classroom. These sessions were recorded by one of our CenterPoint experts and provide you with in-depth information and explanations about the year-end tax forms from any location where you can access the internet (high-speed internet connection recommended).
You can view the free pre-recorded year-end tax form sessions and session materials from the links below. Under Course Materials (on the lower-left side of the page), first view the session materials and then view the video.

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!
