Add/Edit Multiple List Entries Simplifies Record Changes
Data entry and modifications in QuickBooks can be tedious. Beginning with QuickBooks 2010 Pro Edition and above, that job got a lot easier. The Add/Edit Multiple List Entries tool does just what its name implies: It lets you add entries to your lists of customers, vendors, services, inventory parts, and non-inventory parts. It also makes changing one or several of them quick and easy.

Job-Tracking Adds Precision to Your QuickBooks Company
Does your business have clients whose work sometimes requires multiple steps drawn out over weeks or months, like remodeling projects or court cases? If so, and you’re not using QuickBooks’ Jobs features, you’re missing out on the opportunity to track and evaluate the financial impact of these complex tasks.
You can, of course, just send an invoice out to these customers. But if you do, you’re not taking advantage of what QuickBooks’ job tools can do. If you create and track these projects faithfully, you’ll have valuable insight that you wouldn’t otherwise.

Article provided by Paychex, July 12, 2011:
Because Arizona was one of the 30+ states that borrowed money from the feds after our unemployment coffers were depleted as a result of our most recent recession, all Arizona employers who are subject to State Unemployment Tax are subject to a Special Assessment beginning July 20th 2011.
Here are a few of the details:
All employers subject to Arizona UI Tax in 2011 and 2012 are also subject to the SA.
- Reimbursement employers are exempt from the SA.
- “Taxable wages” are the first $7,000 of gross wages paid to each employee in a calendar year.
- The SA rate is 0.40% of taxable wages paid in 2011 (maximum $28 per employee).*
- The SA rate is projected to be 0.60% of taxable wages paid in 2012 (maximum $42 per employee).*
- Payment of the SA for the first three quarters of 2011 is due by October 31, 2011, payable as follows:
- In mid to late September 2011, DES will mail employers statements of the SA amounts they owe, if any, for the first two quarters of 2011.
- Beginning with the third quarter of 2011, SA amounts due are payable with quarterly UI taxes and reported on Line 7, Part C of the Unemployment Tax and Wage Report (form UC-018).
- Employers may include the amount of SA due for the first two quarters of 2011 on their third quarter 2011 report and remit a single payment for all amounts due.
- Alternatively, employers may pay the SA for the first two quarters separately from a report, via the online Tax and Wage System (TWS) at www.azuitax.com or by check or money order.
