Tips & Tricks from the Trenches

We can always count on the Help Desk Team to provide relevant information when it comes to hot issues like taxes.

1. Remember when you are doing the December Bank Reconciliation to change the year to the prior year. The system automatically defaults to the current year.

2. Be sure to review the owner statements and Account Payables Journal for vendors and compare these to the 1099 summary report.

3. For general information in the Knowledge Base regarding 1099s, go to VRM Knowledge Base for the Client Console (Wiki) > Accounting > Accounting Procedures – How To > Year End Procedures including 1099’s. Click here to go straight to the article.
