Sage MIP Fund Accounting V9.0 has great new time saving functionality!

So, how do you actually do that?  With Tax Forms & eFiling by Aatrix®, Sage MIP Fund Accounting will pre-populate any forms available with your live payroll data.  On-screen reviewing and editing will make your compliance reporting easier and much less complicated.

This powerful new functionality also allows you to eFile and print in-house your State as well as Federal tax and compliance forms. Additionally, if you need to make a tax liability payment you will have the option of submitting your money through EFT with your eFiled form or separately by printing a traditional payment coupon all in one easy process.

All forms are historically saved and encrypted for future reference and resubmission if needed.

For more information on this time saving new tool please visit the KnowledgeBase at www.sagesoftwareonline.com Article #281585.

Coming Soon: In V10 of Sage MIP Fund Accounting the Tax Forms and eFiling by Aatrix® functionality will replace our current Accounts Payable 1099 process.  The 1099 forms MISC, R, INT, and DIV along with State Tax Withholding capabilities will all be available in this new release – coming late Spring 2008.

By using the NCOA utility in conjunction with a licensed NCOA service provider, constituents’ addresses can be validated against current United States Postal Service information (National Change of Address Database) and any resulting address corrections can then be loaded into your database via the NCOA utility.

Although there are several steps involved when using the NCOA utility (Administration> Utilities> NCOA Matching), the process can be broken down into two basic components. 

1. The first component requires you to create the NCOA formatted file to send to your NCOA licensed vendor for processing. 
2. The second component comprises reloading the input file the NCOA licensed vendor returns to you.  It is critical to communicate to your vendor that the file be returned in the Lorton500 format.  This file format is the only format the NCOA utility will accept for processing. Address updates cannot be achieved through any other utility/feature in Sage FR50; therefore it is vital that the file sent and received for this purpose is in the correct format.
