Year-End Tax Forms

02 December 2022 StephanieE Customer Information
As the end of 2022 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 2022 forms are 25% off until December 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.

Streamlined Online Payments for Red Wing Software Services

08 August 2022 StephanieE Customer Information
Red Wing Software customers will now find the process of updating recurring payments for services and Customer Care membership auto renewals much easier. When adding or changing payment methods, you now have the option to update the payment method for multiple services at one time. This eliminates the need to enter payment information multiple times. We’ve also expanded it so you can add and update ACH payments. Previously you could use ACH for recurring payments, but you had to call Red Wing Software to change or add that information. Visit the My Account section at www.redwingsoftware.com to edit payment information and much more. (You must be signed in to access the My Account section.)
