UPDATE: The Quickbooks Online team will be hosting a webinar on January 10th at 12:15 pm PT to cover some details on the recent 1099-Misc regulation changes. Further details can be found here: http://community.intuit.com/posts/join-us-for-a-webinar-jan-10-2012-on-the-1099-misc-regulation-changes
An early Happy New Year to all of our readers. I wanted to highlight a few changes to our 1099-Misc preparation workflow in preparation of filing season.
1099k
The IRS has issued new reporting requirements for tax year 2011 1099-MISC form. These requirements will exclude some forms of payments from the 1099-MISC form that will instead be reported on the new third party form 1099-K.
If you’ve made payments to vendors in tax year 2011, you’ll only need to report certain types of transactions and exclude others.
What does this mean to you?
For additional information on the new IRS requirements please visit the links below:
eFile
Prefer to electronically file your 1099 forms?
Well, you’re in luck! Intuit’s 1099 E-File Service allows 1099 forms to be filed electronically. For more information about the 1099 E-File Service, see this web page: http://payroll.intuit.com/support/kb/2000864.html.

Thank you,

As consumers and businesses pulled the purse strings tighter during the trying economic conditions of 2009, conventional wisdom says small businesses everywhere felt the effects on their bottom line. In fact, our own data tells us that small businesses did take a revenue hit.
Looking broadly across all QuickBooks Online industries, 2009 small business revenue was down by more than 10%.
However, there’s a twist. It seems the tough times have caused businesses to become wiser about managing their expenses. Looking at the same broad data set across all industries, 2009 expenses declined by 12%, leading to a 2% increase in profit margin over the same period in 2008.
Effectively, small businesses were more profitable overall due to their ability to contain spending in the face of declining revenue.
How did your small business fair during the trying economic conditions of 2009? Does this analysis hold true? What actions did you take to remain profitable? Please post your comments below.
For QuickBooks Online users: To explore how your business compares to your specific industry, visit Trends from the Company Snapshot page under Reports.

The end of the year means a lot of things. Taking down Holiday decorations, renewing a gym membership…and taxes. We just told you about the Turbo Tax (we do it for you) option. But…you can (and probably should) be aware of what has to be done and by when.
Check out the End of the Year guide to help you through these sticky questions. And if you have gone through this, or have questions, please leave them in the comments.

A critical priority for QuickBooks Online product development is to provide actionable “money insights” for small business owners. The idea of “money insights” is a theme across a lot of the work we’re doing in the product development and engineering teams.
We began this journey by helping answer some basic questions for small business owners:
We received some good feedback about the pie charts in the Company Snapshot report and we’d like to learn more about the insights that matter to you the most.
Below are two screen shots of some of our money insights available in the Company Snapshot section of our Reports in QuickBooks Online.
Please continue providing your invaluable feedback. Our engineers would love to hear from you directly on how we can innovate and help you save time, save money, and make more money.

QuickBooks Online has an extensive set of reports ranging from traditional financial statements like the Income Statement and Balance Sheet to detailed transaction-level reporting. These reports are primarily designed to help businesses and their accountants with tax preparation, reporting, and audits. One of the newest features we’ve added to QuickBooks Online is the Company Snapshot, which uses the same financial data that these reports offer but displays it in a more intuitive visual layout. The goal of the Company Snapshot is to help business owners get a quick view of their businesses finances in a way that helps them save time and make business decisions.QuickBooks Online has an extensive set of reports ranging from traditional financial statements like the Income Statement and Balance Sheet to detailed transaction-level reporting.

The Company Snapshot displays your company’s revenues and expenses in year over year comparisons, breaks down data in a pie chart format, and even pulls data from your accounts receivables to show which customers owe you the most. One of my favorite parts of the Company Snapshot is the monthly expense comparison shown below, which displays each month’s expenses with a year-over-year comparison. This chart is a great way to understand how your company’s total costs are trending overtime and judge your success in keeping expenses down. This is actually similar to what I used to do in Excel to understand expense trending over time, but now have no need for it because I can see it in the reports section.
The Company Snapshot isn’t a replacement for financial statements—it’s a different view of the same data, making it easy to make monthly and yearly comparisons. Let us know what you think or if there is any other data you’d like to see in this graphical format.
