2019 Accounting Master tax form processing options

by the Accounting Master Software Support Team

With another tax season quickly approaching, the Accounting Master Software Support Team is working hard to prepare. A form on the Client Pages is now available to notify us of your 2019 tax form processing plans. Whether you need anything from us or not, we still need to hear from you, just to ensure we have the means available to promptly assist you with your tax form processing needs.

To access the form, first log into the Client Pages and then click the Tax Form Processing link below.

Tax Form Processing Options

Available 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 option allows you to work smarter, not harder, by printing, mailing, and filing your forms for you. You simply submit your data through the step-by-step wizard within Accounting Master. Once complete, Aatrix takes care of the rest. No running to the printer, tearing apart perforated pages, or stuffing envelopes. Plus, postage is included!

Self-printing and filing – This is the same process as the Complete Service, but you control the printing and mailing. If printing and filing your own forms, the 2019 tax form ordering deadline is October 31st, 2019.

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.

Price Changes
Aatrix, our third-party tax preparer, recently notified us they are increasing their costs to MACC. In turn, MACC must make a pass-through rate adjustment to our customers.

Starting November 1st, MACC will be increasing the per recipient filing price from $1.99 to $2.10. This price increase will only affect the Complete Service and MACC Complete Service filing options. Please contact the Accounting Master Support Team with any questions you may have regarding the price changes.

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 used to prepare your database for an 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.

We’re here to help
If you have any questions about this information, please give us a call. To help you with your year-end tax processing needs, we will offer the following hours in December and January:

December: Monday-Friday – 7:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (Central)
January: Monday-Thursday – 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Friday – 7:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (Central)
