  30. Closing the Year

  31. Closing the Year-Zeroing Statistics • When print owner statements for first month of new year (usually Jan)

  32. Closing the Year-Zeroing Statistics You should enter Y if: • Your 1099s are printed and correct • You are planning on printing your 1099s from a good copy of data later

  33. Closing the Year-Zeroing Statistics • Choosing Y will zero all owner stats at P-A-S • This must be done prior to printing January statements • Choosing L will leave the statistics and you will not have the option to zero them out again • Do not choose this option, as you will be forced to zero out all statistics manually

  34. Closing the Year-Accounting • Trust business—no entries are necessary • Consolidated/Operating—If balance sheet correct, move the amount from “Current Year Income” to “Retained Earnings” using a Journal Entry

  35. Common Questions

  36. Common Questions Some of my 1099s didn’t print • Is the income $600 or over? • Tax ID filled in? Hyphen in correct spot? • Is there a title that wasn’t removed from the name? • Foreign owner? Need to use 1042S. Letter logic • If there is a 1099 override at P-A-O, check to make sure there is a value at P-A-S.

  37. Common Questions PAO PAS

  38. Common Questions • I’m paying my owners for December revenue in January, so shouldn’t that income show on next year’s 1099? • No, 1099s are based on income EARNED, regardless of when it’s paid

  39. Common Questions I zeroed out my statistics before I printed my 1099s!

  40. Common Questions • Print 1099s out of your copied data set if you have it • If not, will need to re-enter statistics • Make a copy of your data and enter the statistics here, not in the live data • Use the P-R-I report to get income totals • Enter the income total at P-A-S • May need to adjust dates in system setup in copied data • Contact us for assistance!

  41. Common Questions My statistics didn’t get zeroed out!

  42. Common Questions • Run owner statements to get annual and occupancy statistics • Date range needs to be first month of new year through last closed month • Enter the correct statistics for each property at P-A-S • The new values should be smaller amounts than the existing values • Call us for help with this one also Q

  45. Extending Availability S-A-A • Periods usually yearly or based on season (winter/summer) • Related to rotation, not rates • Must extend at least 2 years past availability start date (S-I) • Eliminate old records

  46. Extending Availability S-A-A-Seasonal Periods
