5 Introduction to This Guide Introduction to This Guide This guide is designed to walk you through the transition into the new year. This guide provides comprehensive instructions on closing the Contributions, General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Payroll, and Fixed Assets modules. This guide includes the following concepts: Closing the books in ACS Printing year-end reports and statements Printing W-2s and 1099s Making correcting entries Additional information 5

6 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures This unit covers general information related to year-end closing procedures and backups. About year-end procedures Modules and when they close What you need to know Forms and supplies ACS for Windows backup 6

7 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Lesson 1: Year-End Procedures Year-end Procedures, or closing the books, means advancing the default year in ACS to the next year. In many cases, this is as simple as selecting a new reporting year in the software or selecting to close the month. However, in the General Ledger and the Payroll modules, additional procedures are required to meet accounting and tax requirements. Year-end can also include mailing forms and statements, making year-end journal entries, or making corrections to the previous year. The Contributions module often presents special yearend challenges as last minute donors come forward, sometimes with out of the ordinary contributions such as stock. After closing the year, you can still post transactions to and print reports for the previous year provided you have selected Allow Posting to Prior Periods in you GL Setup. Most modules let you enter the next year's data prior to closing the year; however, you must close the year in Contributions before entering contributions for the next year (unless you use ACS 11.0 or higher). Beginning with ACS 11.0, pledges and gifts are tracked by postdate rather than year, eliminating the need to close the year at year-end. Accounts Payable, Fixed Assets, and Payroll do not have year-end procedures. For these modules, handle year-end just as you do month-end procedures: by selecting to close the month. Accounts Payable and Payroll also have special forms, (W2s and 1099s) to print at the end of the year. Before starting the year-end process, be sure to: 1. Complete all daily/weekly, month-end, and quarter-end procedures. 2. Back up all financial data files. 3. Print 1099s. 4. Print W2s 7

8 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Lesson 2: What do you need to know? year. Closing the books in ACS for Windows primarily advances the default year to the next For modules that do not have year-end procedures (Accounts Payable, Fixed Assets, and Payroll), the last month of the year is no different than any other month of the year. Once you close the month, you can begin posting to the new month immediately. Contributions version 11.0 and after does not have a monthly or yearend closing. If you selected Allow Posting to Prior Periods in GL Setup, you can make entries to a previous month or year after closing the period. You can also print reports for previous periods. You can print Contributions statements for previous periods. However, after closing the year, any multi-year pledge rolls forward and becomes a pledge for the next year. At this point, a contribution statement printed for the prior year does not reflect the pledge amount for that multi-year pledge. (This does not apply to Contributions version 11.0 and after) The Contributions module (prior to ACS 11.0) forces you to close the year before making entries to a future year, so that ACS knows how to handle unfulfilled pledges and prepayments. You cannot post entries to the next year until you perform year-end closing procedures; however, you can enter and post prepayments on next year's pledges. A number of other year-end activities must be complete in various modules to meet accounting or tax requirements. These include printing W-2s from Payroll, 1099s from Accounts Payable, Contribution Statements, Accounts and calculating depreciation in Fixed Assets. ACS for Windows provides the tools to do all of these. 8

9 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Lesson 3: Modules and When they Close This section discusses modules and when they close. Module Month Year Contributions X Contributions 11.0 Accounts Payable X Payroll X Fixed Assets X General Ledger (Close Months 1-11) X X Figure 1: Modules and when they close The Contributions module prior to version 11.0 closes at year-end. You can print statements for the quarter and the year. You can also print contribution statements for previous periods. However, after a year is closed, any multi-year pledge rolls forward and becomes a pledge for the next year. Therefore, a contribution statement printed for the prior year at that point will not reflect the pledge amount for that multi-year pledge. Only Contributions prior to 11.0 forces you to close the year before making entries to a future period, you cannot post entries to the next year until you perform year-end closing procedures. This is driven primarily by pledging, so the system will know how to handle unfulfilled pledges, prepayments to pledges. The Contributions module has no monthly or quarterly closing, and you can make corrections for a previous month, quarter, or year. If you are on version 11 of ACS, there is no year-end closing in Contributions. When you generate Contributions reports and statements, you can specify date ranges rather than selecting a year, allowing reports to better fit your needs. Accounts Payable closes at month-end, and you can print vendor 1099s at year-end. Accounts Payable has month-end closing and no year-end closing procedures. Payroll closes at month-end. You can view W-2s and the fourth quarter 941s at any time during the current quarter or for a previous quarter. Payroll has no quarter-end or yearend closing procedures. Accounts Receivable has only a month-end closing. You can print statements showing the customers appropriate tax-deductible amounts. 9

10 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Fixed Assets has only a month-end closing. You can calculate and post depreciation on a monthly or yearly basis. General Ledger is the only module that has both month-end and year-end closing, and you can print reports for previous months and years. General Ledger is only closed for the first eleven months of the year, and closing the year advances the month forward to the first month of the new year. If you have more than one financial dataset, you must close the modules in each dataset separately. Datasets are not connected, and closing a module in one dataset has no impact on the second dataset. The most common reason for using two datasets is if one entity (church or school) functions under a different Federal ID # or is on a calendar year (Jan/Dec) and the other entity is on a fiscal year (Aug/July). In that case, you ll close after December entries in the first dataset, and after July entries in the second dataset. Payroll Accounts Payable Accounts Receivable Contributions General Ledger Fixed Assets Figure 2: GL Interface Chart If the Contributions module is interfaced with the General Ledger module, entries are first posted to the individual s Contributions record, and then posted to the General Ledger. 10

11 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Accounts Payable, Payroll, and Fixed Assets are automatically interfaced with the General Ledger. You can set Accounts Payable to operate on a cash or accrual basis. In Fixed Assets, you can calculate depreciation and post it to the General Ledger. It s a good idea to close the month in all other modules before closing the year in General Ledger. You need to verify all transactions are posted from before making entries in GL. If needed, you can post to a closed year. Terminology Close the month Advance the calendar to the next month. Close the year Advance the calendar to the next year. 11

12 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Lesson 4: Mental Checklist This lesson gives tips on what to do before closing the year or month in each module. Module specific procedures Contributions: Complete post all transactions for the year. If interfaced, post all activity to the General Ledger. Accounts Payable: Enter and post all invoices, then print and post all checks for the month. Purchase Orders: Create and post invoices for all remaining orders that have been received for the month. Payroll: Complete calculations, print checks, and post the last payroll for the month. Fixed Assets: If depreciating, calculate and post depreciation for the month or year. General Ledger: Post any end-of-month or end-of year transactions. Printing Reports All Modules: Print YTD reports. Complete and print the 941 for the 4th Quarter and W-2s in Payroll, 1099s in Accounts Payable, and statements in Contributions. You can go back and print prior month/year reports if needed. Experiment with the various report options in each module to determine which reports meet your office s needs. Consult your CPA /Treasurer to determine which reports you need. 12

13 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Backing up your data You have heard horror stories of data lost with no backup, so why take any chances with the data you worked so hard to set up and maintain? You should ALWAYS make a backup before closing. Contributions even require an ACS backup prior to closing the year (prior to 11.0). Later in the class, we ll discuss why you should perform a backup and the procedures to complete a backup. 13

14 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Lesson 5: Forms and Supplies.Plan Ahead This lesson provides tips and suggestions on ordering forms and supplies, along with some suggested reading. Plan for Forms & Supply needs; think about what forms you need to fulfill reporting requirements and order early! Estimate how many of each you need, then include some extras. A few extra forms are a good safety net in case your printer jams or you discover you have miscalculated. Forms to consider: Contribution Flex Statements Contribution Charitable Tax reports 1099s (and summary form 1096) W-2s (and summary form W3) Supplies to consider: Window envelopes for each of the above Paper Printer supplies CDs, flash drive, etc. for backups Plan your calendar: You can complete some activities now: Begin reassigning envelope numbers (if needed) Enter next year s pledges Enter next year's budget Preprint key reports to plan for forms needs or check for errors Some activities have deadlines. Be sure you are clear on what those deadlines are. Check with the IRS or your tax consultant to verify deadlines for: W-2s, 941 and 1099s Contributor Statements & Charitable Contribution Reports. 14

15 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Some activities have to wait: If using ACS 10.6 or lower, you must complete December entries and close the year before entering January contributions. In the current year, you can enter and post prepayments on next year's pledges, but be sure you are clear on how to do this. If using ACS 11.0 or higher, you can enter and post contributions at any time. When reassigning envelope numbers, do not click Apply until you are ready to start using the new envelope numbers. The best time to do this is during your year-end procedures. Obtain copies of any of the following Federal Publications that you may need. These include: Publication 15 - Circular E Employer's Tax Guide Publication Exemptions, Standard Deductions, and Filing Information Publication Tax Withhold and Estimated Tax Publication Social Security and Other Information for Members of the Clergy and Religious Workers Publication Charitable Contributions Publication Miscellaneous Deductions These publications and others are available from your local IRS office or at the IRS website at States have Web sites where state information is available. Useful Information Plan ahead don t wait until the last minute! Order ACS forms that you need early. Waiting until the last minute is costly if you have to place an overnight order. 15

16 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Lesson 6: Backups Backing up your data is one of the most important computer-related tasks you must perform every day. A backup is an exact copy of your data files. ACS provides a program for you to back up and restore your ACS data. Generally, backups are stored on an external storage device such as a removable disk (CD or flash drive) or tape. You can store backups on a local or network hard drive, but this is not recommended for routine backups. Backups made to local or network drives are useful for correcting an operator error but are useless in the case of a system or hard drive failure, theft, or a natural disaster. ACS provides the following methods to back up and restore your data: ACS Backup You can access ACS manual backup from the ACS Program Group, from a shortcut on the desktop, or from ACS Utility Manager. You should back this data up to removable media and take it offsite. In this guide, discussion related to required backups (i.e. prior to closing Contributions) refers to this method of backup. ACS Scheduled Backups The ACS Scheduled Backup program lets you establish and maintain a schedule for regularly backing up your ACS data. Backups created in the ACS Automatic Backup program are saved to a hard drive or a network drive. You must run the utility to configure the ACS Backup Service Program. LiveStor ACS offers a remote backup program designed to protect your data files by automatically transferring them over the Internet and storing them safely in ACS secure servers. If you are interested in this option, select Backup Files Online from Online Resources on your Menu Bar. For more information about LiveStor, visit or contact the LiveStor Sales team at livestorsales@acstechnologies.com. 16

17 Unit 1: Basic Year-End Procedures Here s how to perform a manual backup of your data: 1. Close all ACS applications. The backup may not complete properly if anyone is logged into ACS. 2. On the Microsoft Windows task bar, click Start > All Programs > ACS Technologies > ACS Tools, then click ACS Backup. 3. Enter your ACS user name and password and click OK. 4. On the Backup/Restore tab, under Data Options, select the backup that you want to perform. 5. Under Additional Options, make the appropriate selections. 6. Under Configurations, verify the Backup Destination Directory. If necessary, click Lookup to select a different location. 7. If you are backing up to an external storage device, make sure it is properly connected. 8. Click Backup. If you selected to change the file name, enter a file name and click OK. Useful Information To ensure that a backup file was created successfully, you can verify the backup file. If you use ACS OnDemand, ACS OnDemand automatically backs up your data on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. However, you should still make a backup before performing year-end procedures. 17

18 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) This unit covers how to close the Contributions Module in ACS versions prior to Discussions include: General Tips Special transaction types and prepayments Making corrections Statements and charitable contribution reports Entering next year s pledges Reassigning envelope numbers Flagging arrears pledges Closing the Contributions module 18

19 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Lesson 1: General Tips ACS Technologies offers the following tips to assist you in closing the year in Contributions. 1. Reassign envelope numbers in December, but do not apply the changes until after yearend closing. 2. Begin entering the next year s pledges when you receive them. 3. Begin printing Charitable Contributions statements after you enter and post the last gift entries for the year. 4. If possible, send contributions statements early so that you can identify and correct any errors. 5. You can print contributions statements and charitable contributions reports after closing the year, but they do not reflect proper pledge totals if you have multi-year pledges. 6. Charitable Contributions Reports for previous years do not print detail if the Retain past 2 years, summarize 3rd year option is selected in Setup. 7. The Pledge Gift Analysis report only prints for the current year. 8. When entering pledges for years with 53 Sundays, you can: a. Adjust the Total Pledge to the equivalent of a 52 Sunday total amount. b. Start the pledge on the second Sunday of January. c. Allow the contributors to give for 53 Sundays. For more information on how to set up pledges for a 53-week year, please refer to Knowledge Base article #

20 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Lesson 2: Special Transaction Types and Prepayments There are several types of contributions, including Regular Entry, Gift with Description, Gift for Item of Value, Non-Cash Gift, or Non-Deductible gift. ACS allows you to select the type of gift that you want to enter. Statements and Charitable Contributions Reports reflect special transaction types. If the Contributions module interfaces with the General Ledger module, entries are first posted to each individual s record in Contributions, followed by a second posting to General Ledger. An individual or organization must have a record in People or Organizations to have a giving record. This includes any record to which you will post contributions and/or send a statement. After selecting a record, you can access the Inquiry by Individual window from the Add Transaction window. In Add/Edit Transactions, select the Transaction Type in the drop-down list. Figure 3: Transaction Types 20

21 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Terminology Regular Entry A monetary gift of any size to any fund that needs no description. Gift with Description A monetary gift of any size to any fund that requires a description. You can use this without entering a description. Gift for Item of Value A monetary gift for which the donor receives some value or service, for example, a $ check for the Youth Car Wash that cost $ Non-Cash Gift A gift where actual cash is not received, for example, a contributor donates a computer to the church office, a car for the Youth Garage Sale, or stock certificates toward the Building Fund. Non-Deductible Money paid that is not tax deductible, for example, a check for a members ski trip. 21

22 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Lesson 3: Entering Prepayments Prepayments are donations received in the current year that apply to next year s pledge. For example, a contributor gives in December to apply towards a pledge that starts in January. The payment reduces next year s pledge balance, and the gift amount applies in the year it was given for tax purposes. Enter prepayments like all regular entries; however, post the gift to a future year. Posting to a future year is only valid if the contributor has a pledge for that year. To enter a prepayment: 1. In Add/Edit Transactions, enter the current transaction information. 2. Advance the posting year to When the confirmation message displays, click Yes. Figure 4: Prepayment 22

23 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Useful Information A confirmation message displays to verify that you have correctly entered a Prepayment. The Flex and Quarterly statements print transactions based on the posting year, but the Charitable Tax Report and Plain Paper statements print based on the transaction date. When Display Pledges is selected in Contributions Setup, you can change the pledge year to the next year to make sure the contributor s pledge has been entered. 23

24 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Lesson 4: Entering Next Year s Pledges This lesson walks you through adding pledges for the next year. If your church or organization conducts an annual budget pledge campaign or any other pledge campaign that begins at the beginning of the calendar year, you can enter the pledges as soon as you receive the pledge cards from contributors. Entering the pledge information for the new year does not affect the contributor s giving record for the current year in any way. If your pledge campaign is not a recurring one, such as the annual budget, the first step in entering pledges is to set up the pledge fund. You want to give the fund a unique name so that contributions for this pledge are kept separate from other pledge funds in ACS. 1. The year selected in the Year drop-down list remains the same for any record selected until you close the Add/Edit Pledges window. 2. To sort the data in the grid, click any column heading. Right-click to resize and auto size the column width. 3. To keep a record of all pledges entered, select Record Entries. You can print the pledge entries. 4. Use Mass Add to add the same pledge for multiple individuals. Figure 5: Mass Add Pledges 24

25 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) You can enter pledges for next year at any time. A contributor can have a pledge for any fund/funds, and pledges can be for one year or multiple years. For example, a contributor can have a pledge to the General Fund for the year and a pledge to the Building Fund for a 3-year period. When adding pledges one at a time to multiple contributors, fund and year information repeat from the previous pledge. The Frequency selected determines when the pledge becomes due. Figure 6: Add/Edit Pledges 25

26 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Terminology Year The pledge year. The pledge year for a multi-year pledge is the year it begins. After the first year is closed, it becomes a pledge for the next year, even though the start date remains the same. Term in Months Length of the pledge is expressed in months. Start Date Date the pledge begins. Amount Amount to be paid each period. Frequency Frequency of the pledge payments. Initial Payment Amount a contributor gives to a fund in addition to the basic pledge. This increases the total pledge. Frequencies Include As Can, Bi-Monthly, Monthly, One Time, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Weekly/Yearly. 26

27 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Lesson 5: Reassigning Envelope Numbers This lesson walks you through reassigning your envelope numbers. You can reassign envelope numbers in Contributions Setup. Remember to back up your data before reassigning envelope numbers. ACS does not require you to renumber envelopes. However, if you have a lot of gaps in your envelope numbers, renumbering could mean purchasing fewer boxes. If you need to reassign numbers, you can perform the first two steps prior to the end of the year. You can do this when you order boxed envelopes or when you need to send a file to your envelope company for the next year. Complete the final step in reassigning envelope numbers AFTER the contribution year is closed. Once you reassign envelopes, you cannot undo the reassignment except by restoring a backup. If you reassign before you are ready and do not have a valid backup, you must use the Find Person option or work from your list of new/old numbers to post each entry. Guidelines for reassigning envelopes: Envelope numbers are only reassigned for those individuals whose member statuses you select. You can reassign numbers for individuals who currently do not have a member status. You can include individuals with blank envelope numbers. When using the Exclusion Range option, you can exclude envelope numbers within a selected range so that records with these numbers are not reassigned new envelope numbers. You can reassign envelope numbers at any time of the year, but you must make sure you are ready to post using the new envelope numbers before clicking Apply. You can also use the Print Reports option to preview your envelope number changes before clicking Apply. Many organizations reassign envelope numbers in the fall so they have time to get envelopes printed. They apply the changes as part of their year-end procedures. To reassign envelope numbers: 1. Under Advanced Tools, click the Settings tab. 2. Select Contributions in the drop-down list, and click Go. 3. Click the Envelope Number Maint tab. 27

28 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) 4. Enter the envelope Starting Number and Increment. 5. Under Selected Member Statuses, select the member statuses you want to assign envelope numbers for. You can also select the Use Last Search Results option. 6. Optional: Select any additional options. 7. Click Reassign, click Yes. 8. To preview the changes to envelope numbers, click Print Reports. 9. To replace the old envelope numbers with the new envelope numbers, click Apply. Figure 7: Reassign Envelope Numbers CAUTION!! Useful Information Clicking Clear clears all current envelope numbers and cannot be undone without restoring a backup. Make sure you backup your data before reassigning envelope numbers. Do not click Apply until you are ready to start using the new envelope numbers. 28

29 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Lesson 6: Flagging Arrears This lesson walks you through flagging pledges as arrears. An Arrears record refers to a pledge that has a balance from the previous year. Arrears records carry over pledges into the new year for contributors who have not fulfilled their pledge obligation in the current year. When transactions are posted to the pledge fund, gift entries post to the prior year s pledge until it is fulfilled. Enter arrears payments as you enter any gift in Contributions. A pledge is not in arrears until the pledge period has ended. Therefore, a multi-year pledge is not in arrears until the end of the last year. Posting arrears payments is not required. To automatically post to an arrears record before posting to a current year pledge record, select Post Arrears in Contributions Setup. Arrears records are set up at the fund and individual level, allowing you to selectively post arrears payments. You must set up arrears records in Contributions Setup, Add/Edit Fund Codes, or Add/Edit Pledges. Arrears information prints on the Flex Statement only. Once you set up the Contributions module for arrears payments, ACS automatically recognizes an arrears payment and posts it to the correct pledge. You do not have to select any special settings in Add/Edit Transactions. Figure 8: Setup - Post Arrears 29

30 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) After you select Post Arrears, you must flag the particular fund as an Arrears Fund. This lets you flag individual contributors unfulfilled pledges in arrears (individually) or flag all unfulfilled pledges for a particular fund in arrears when you close the year. Gifts posted to the fund in the new year automatically post against the arrears pledge until it is fulfilled. Then, gifts post toward the current year pledge. Figure 9: Mark Arrears Fund 30

31 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) You can remove an arrears flag from an individual pledge if necessary. Complete pledges are marked as Paid in Full. Figure 10: Mark Pledge - Arrears or Paid in Full 31

32 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Lesson 7: Making Corrections This lesson walks you through making corrections in contributions once transactions have been posted. You should reverse any mistakes as originally entered and re-entered correctly. Make any corrections in separate batches and post them to the original entry date. If an amount was posted to the wrong fund, post a negative amount to that fund and a positive to the correct fund. If an amount was posted to the wrong individual, post a negative amount to that individual and a positive to the correct individual. If you are interfaced with General Ledger (post to GL), make sure you post the corrections to General Ledger. Useful Information To avoid further errors when making corrections, make sure there are no other pending transactions, posted or unposted. Perform your corrections separately from your normal transactions. If a whole batch was entered incorrectly, re-enter the corrections as a batch. Make sure that you select the correct transaction date. 32

33 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) To correct contribution entries: 1. Under Run Inquiries, select Contributor Inquiry to locate the individual s record, then click Go. Figure 11: Contributor Inquiry 2. Click Find Person or enter the Envelope Number to locate the individual. 3. Correct the Transaction Date, Fund, Amount, etc., as necessary. 4. Click Close. Figure 12: Inquiry by Individual 33

34 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) 5. Under Manage Records, select Enter/Post Contributions and click Go. Figure 13: Enter/Post Contributions 6. Verify that you have selected the correct Posted Date. 7. Verify that there are no pending transactions. 8. Select Add/Edit Transactions. 34

35 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Lesson 8: Statements and Reports This lesson describes how Gifts display on Flex Statements and the Charitable Contributions Report. How gifts are reflected on Flex Statements: Regular Entry - These entries print on the Flex Statements. Gift with Description - These entries print on the Flex Statements, but descriptions do not print. Gift for Item of Value - These entries print on the Flex Statement for the total amount posted. Non-Cash - If a gift is posted as non-cash with a zero dollar amount, nothing prints on the Flex Statement. If posted as non-cash with a dollar value, in order to apply toward a pledge, the dollar amount prints. Non-Deductible - These entries print on Flex Statement as all other entries. About the Flex Statement: You select the period format and period to include. When printing statements for prepayments, change the Transaction Year. In Change layout, you select which columns of information and the order in which they print. You can print a single Flex Statement or Charitable Contributions Report if someone needs a replacement. 35

36 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Figure 14: Customize the Flex Statement Figure 15: Change Flex Statement Columns Some contributors may request an 11th month statement. To provide this, you can print the Yearly Flex Statement after November postings. At that point, the month of December is blank. 36

37 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) The following example is for a 6-month period, July December. The first 14 funds each individual has given are itemized at the bottom of the statement. Gifts toward any additional funds are summarized under All Remaining Funds. Figure 16: Sample Flex Statement (without preprinted form) How gifts are reflected on Charitable Contributions Report: 37

38 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Regular Entry - These entries print on the Charitable Contributions Report. Gift with Description - These entries print on the report. The description also prints on the Charitable Contributions Report. Gift for Item of Value - These entries print on the Charitable Report. The difference between the total gift ( gross) and the value of service (5.00) prints in the Charitable Amount Column (195.00) on the Charitable Report. The description prints on the Charitable Contributions Report. Non-Cash Gift - If posted as non-cash with a zero dollar amount, the entry with description prints on the Charitable Contributions Report as Property (P) and as zero dollars. If posted with a dollar value, in order to apply against a pledge, the entry still prints on the Charitable Contributions Report as zero dollars. Non-Deductible - These do not print on the Charitable Report. If possible, send contribution statements out early so that you can identify and correct any errors. You can print Contribution Statements and Charitable Tax reports after closing the year, but they do not reflect proper pledge totals if you have multi-year pledges. Charitable Contribution Reports for previous years do not print detail if you select Retain past 2 years, summarize 3rd year in Setup. 38

41 Unit 2: Closing the Contributions Module (Prior to ACS version 11.0) Lesson 9: Year-End Options/Procedures This lesson walks you through the final steps in the contribution year-end closing procedure. At the end of the year, you must perform year-end procedures. This process rolls any multi-year pledges over to the new year. Depending on your setup, it may summarize historical data older than two years. It also sets the default post year to the new year. Year-End Options: Year-End Options are located in Setup.

46 Unit 3: Closing Payroll Unit 3: Closing Payroll The Payroll module complies with all IRS requirements and prints W-2, W-3 and 941 forms. In addition, ACS Technologies offers annual tax updates to keep your tax tables up-to-date with the latest federal and state laws. This unit will assist you with the year-end issues in the Payroll module, including printing W2s for employees, the 4th Quarter 941, and more. This unit covers the closing procedures related to the Payroll Module, including: Payroll Closing Tips Year-End Reports W-2 s, W-3 s and 941 s Common Errors in Preparing W-2s Month End Procedures Updating Pay Rates and Vacation/Sick Time Closing Payroll 46

47 Unit 3: Closing Payroll Lesson 1: Closing Payroll Payroll only has a month-end closing. However, at year-end, there are some additional procedures you should follow. Complete Last Payroll: You must complete the last payroll of the current year before issuing your Forms W-2. Make any corrections to employees paychecks for the current year, including voiding and reissuing checks, if necessary. May sure to date any reissued checks in the correct tax year so they display on the Form W-2. Make sure all pay information for the current year is posted before closing the month of December. Check posting date and posting period on your entries before you post. Load Tax Update: Before compiling the first payroll of the new year or printing federal forms (W-2, W-3, 941, 1099, or 1096), ACS Technologies recommends that you load the tax update. ACS Technologies publishes the tax updates on the ACS Web site at Closing Flexibility: You can still access and manipulate all payroll data even after closing the last month of the year. For example, if you close December, the posting month changes to January of the next year; however, you can still print the previous year's W-2 forms and 941s by selecting the desired year on the W-2 and 941 tabs. If you need to print January checks before closing December, simply process checks as usual (making sure check dates are correct). When you are ready to post the checks set the posting month to January. 941s/W-2s/W-2 Extract - Reconcile Form 941 and W-2 employee information as soon as possible. Begin by printing your Form 941 worksheet for all four quarters; then, run your W-2 forms on blank paper and compare the information. If you find an error, you can make adjustments to quarterly or yearly totals from the W2 Totals option in Utilities. The W-2 extract allows you to create, edit, view and print your employee's W-2 information. 47

48 Unit 3: Closing Payroll When you are sure the information is correct, you can copy an extract file of the W-2 information and submit it to the Social Security Administration. All employers who file 250 or more W-2 forms must extract W-2 information to a file for transmittal to the Social Security Administration. ACS follows the Social Security Administration s MMFEF-1 specification for the extract file. The Social Security Administration does not accept compressed files on magnetic media. Do not use any compression utility such as WinZip, PkZip, or DynaZip on the extract file. The IRS no longer accepts 3-1/2 inch diskettes for filing information returns. With the W-2 Extract option, you can: Print the extract file. Edit employer or employee information. Save the extract file to your hard drive and upload the file to the Social Security Administration s Web site. Employee Record Maintenance: After closing the year, be sure to adjust employee vacation/sick accrual rates and balances. If your organization does not track vacation and sick time using an accrual method, be certain to enter beginning vacation and sick amounts for the new year. If employees' salaries and hourly rates will change in the new year, make those changes now. In addition, deactivate any employees no longer working in your organization. Reports: Be sure to review all the reports in the Payroll module to determine which reports your organization will need. Here is a list of Payroll reports commonly printed at year-end: Liability Report - Displays the total liability for a selected period, including tax deductions, employer contributions, worker's compensation, taxable wages, and adjustments. Employee Detail Report - Displays all the information in the employee records. You can print this report for one or for all employees. Worker's Compensation Report - Displays worker's compensation by employee. 941-A Report - Print this report only if your state requires 941-A reporting. The report displays quarterly gross pay, the taxable pay amount, and the difference between gross and taxable pay for all employees in a selected state (or states). 48

49 Unit 3: Closing Payroll Useful Information The Tax Update file contains the upcoming year s payroll tax tables and any federal form changes required for filing for the calendar year ending December 31.

111 Unit 5: Closing Fixed Assets Lesson 2: Calculating Depreciation This lesson is designed to assist you calculating depreciation. Calculating depreciation deducts the cost of using an asset over the life of the asset. As the asset ages, the asset loses value. To reflect the decline in value, the asset depreciates over a period of months or years, depending on the life of the asset. When calculating depreciation, ACS compares the depreciation date to the acquisition date unless you select to Disregard Acquire Date. If less than one year has passed since the asset was acquired, ACS divides the yearly amount by 12 and then multiplies by the number of months in service. The result is the correct depreciation amount for the first year. If no Depreciable Basis is entered for an Asset, ACS uses the Historical Cost to calculate depreciation. If a Depreciable Basis is entered for the asset, ACS uses that instead of the Historical Cost. Items depreciate up to salvage value unless you enter a retire date. Once you decide which depreciation method to use, you must also decide how often (for example, monthly or yearly) to calculate the depreciation expense and post it to the general ledger. To calculate depreciation 1. Under Manage Records, click the Transactions tab. 2. Select Fixed Assets Depreciation and click Go. 111

112 Unit 5: Closing Fixed Assets Figure 103: Fixed Assets Depreciation 3. Click Calculate Depreciation. 4. Enter the depreciation effective date. Figure 104: Calculate Depreciation 5. If you want to depreciate items that are no longer active, select the check box for Depreciate Inactive Items. 6. Select to calculate depreciation either monthly or yearly, and then click Begin. 112

113 Unit 5: Closing Fixed Assets Figure 105: Begin Calculate Depreciation Procedure 7. Once depreciation calculates, click OK. Figure 106: Total Depreciation Calculated Terminology Straight Line Depreciation - This method is a function of time rather than use. This method uses a lump sum derived from a mathematical formula based on the asset s useful life, historical cost, and salvage value. Double Declining Balance Depreciation This method uses a percentage rate calculated on an asset s useful life and then doubles the percentage. This percentage is applied to the asset book value at the beginning of the year, but only until the amount is applied to the salvage value. At the end of the asset s useful life, the book value depreciates in the amount necessary to bring the book value to its salvage value. Since the accumulated depreciation changes each year, the asset book value reduces each year, causing decreasing depreciation. Sum of Year s Digits Depreciation - This method uses a percentage rate calculated on fractions where the numerators are based on the number of years of an asset s useful life, and the denominators are constants based upon the total sum of all the numerators added together. Because the denominator remains constant and numerator declines each year, the result is a decreasing depreciation expense. 113

114 Unit 5: Closing Fixed Assets Lesson 3: Depreciation Journal - Post Depreciation This lesson is designed to assist you with posting depreciation. Before you can post depreciation to the General Ledger, you must preview or print the depreciation journal. Reviewing the journal lets you correct errors. You can clear the depreciation calculations, make any corrections to the assets or depreciation tables, and recalculate depreciation. To Post Depreciation 1. Click Depreciation Journal 2. Click Include items with Zero Current Depreciation if desired. 3. Click either Print or Preview. Figure 107: Depreciation Journal 114

115 Unit 5: Closing Fixed Assets Figure 108: Sample Depreciation Journal If errors exist on the depreciation journal, you can clear the depreciation calculations, make any corrections to the assets or depreciation tables, and recalculate depreciation. To clear current depreciation calculations 1. On the Fixed Assets Posting Menu, click Calculate Depreciation. 2. Click Clear Current Calculations. 3. Click Yes, and then click OK. 115

116 Unit 5: Closing Fixed Assets Figure 109: Clear Current Calculations Useful Information You can only clear current calculations.
