Reduce QuickBooks File Size
Is your QuickBooks file running a little slower than you would like? Has your file size gotten too large for your computer to handle? That can be fixed! There is a "Cleanup" utility that will reduce your QuickBooks file size and allow the program to function better/faster. IMPORTANT: Before you start the Cleanup process, make a Backup of your file. Next, go to the File Menu, down to Utilities, and over to Cleanup Company Data. Follow the instructions and you can greatly reduce the size of your QuickBooks file. This is also a great way to get rid of unwanted and unused Vendors, Customers, Items, etc. If you don't feel comfortable in handling this process yourself, call us and we'll be happy to assist you. |

Prince William is Married, April Storms have Passed, and the 1099 Nightmare has Ended.
No longer a part of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the expanded 1099 reporting requirements have ended.
President Obama signed The Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act of 2011. This means that your company won't have to track and report payments to ALLvendors it pays more than $600 to in a year, incorporated or not, for goods or services. You will not have to waste time trying to obtain FEIN or Social Security numbers from dozens/hundreds of vendors who are also busy and don't want to be bothered.
We have all been spared a new paperwork headache. But with the revenue lost by eliminating this requirement, the IRS will expect your 1099s to be complete, correct and on time.
The Small Business Jobs Act dramatically increased the penalties for 1099 errors. Starting with returns due after Jan. 1, 2011, the price for non-compliance increases to:
- $30 per return for "first-tier penalties" (ones your company corrects within 30 days of Jan. 31)
- $60 per return for second-tier penalties (corrected or initial filing prior to Aug. 1), and
- $100 per return for third-tier penalties (any change after Aug. 1).
Penalties now max out at $250,000, $500,000 and $1,500,000 per year, respectively.
