Ken Hilton - President Red Wing Software

At Red Wing Software, we know the importance of keeping payroll tax tables up-to-date. We make every effort to ensure you have the latest tax table information, often before it becomes effective. Federal withholding tables are available in CenterPoint Payroll for our customers when published by the IRS, even before they are needed. We also stay on top of the payroll tax changes in all states and territories, ensuring our customers use the most recent data.
While we keep the software updated, other things need to be considered when it comes to proper withholding. Keep in mind that some employees may request additional withholding be taken each pay period based on their experience with results from previous years. With the changes to the default tax tables, it may be important for them to recalculate the estimate of taxes they will owe for the year and rethink the amount of extra withholding they have deducted. It’s a good idea to inform employees of this situation and request that they complete a new W-4 form if they would like to adjust their number of dependents or extra state or federal withholding.

Ken Hilton - President Red Wing Software

Now that the hustle and bustle of the holidays is over, it’s a good time to dig out the budget you created for 2024 and compare line-by-line how well you managed the business as projected in your budget. (You did create a budget for 2024, didn’t you?)
I understand there are always anomalies during any given year that can’t be foreseen, but many mature ongoing businesses should be able to project the coming year accurately. When these unforeseen expenses (or revenues) occur, if you consistently compare actual events to the budget, you can adjust other areas to accommodate the changes.
With Red Wing Software’s accounting products, you have the tools to create and compare budget to actual information with a level of detail that works well for your business. CenterPoint Accounting has both simple and advanced budgeting features built into the product. Extensive help documents and video tools are available within the software to help you get started.
If you’re new to the process, give it a try. Over time, you’ll learn to project finances very accurately.
