Software Update

We’re ready to help you with tax form processing

by the Accounting Master Software Support Team

With another tax season quickly approaching, the Accounting Master Software Support Team is preparing to support your tax processing needs. A form on MACC’s Client Central is now available to notify us of your 2021 tax form processing plans. Whether you need anything from us or not, we would still like to hear from you, just to ensure we have the means available to promptly assist you with your tax form processing needs. Use this link to access the form: Tax Form Processing Options

Available Tax Processing Options
The options below are available thanks to the integration with Aatrix and Accounting Master. This integration provides three processing options for your W-2s, W-3s, and 1099s.

• Complete Service (*Best Option*) – The Complete Service allows you to easily print, mail, and file your forms using Aatrix. You simply submit your data through the step-by-step wizard within Accounting Master. Once complete, Aatrix takes care of the rest. The postage is even included in the price!
• Self-printing and filing – This is the same process as the Complete Service, but you control the printing and mailing in your office. If printing and filing your own forms, the 2020 tax form ordering deadline is November 1st, 2021.
• MACC Complete Service – If you’d prefer, you can sign up for the MACC Complete Service, where we’ll submit your information to Aatrix on your behalf, through your Accounting Master database.

1099-NEC Form update
For the 2021 tax year, the IRS has redesigned the Form 1099-NEC to three forms per page, as compared to the previous year where it was constructed of two forms. Due to the 3-up per form change, a new envelope will also be required for distributing recipient copies.

Don’t forget to use the Year-End Suite!
Use the Year-End Suite as a one-stop location for year-end processing functions. The Suite contains the maintenance screens and processes needed to prepare Accounting Master for the upcoming year. Screens such as the Fiscal Year Setup, Labor Year, and others allow for efficient management of year-end processes for each company in your database.

When these independent processes are accessed from the Year-End Suite, you can also create comments for your company-specific process notes. Additionally, a Year-End Checklist is available to help keep you organized.
