There are some changes happening in the back-end of the web server that might possibly cause some e-mail or other disruptions over this weekend. We’re making these changes in part because of a high number of messages going missing under our old setup. Hopefully, these behind-the-scenes changes will help to make everything better.

Part of the change also involves a migration between FullPotentialLLP.com and FullPotentialCPA.com. In the end, they will both work as mirrors of each other so that it doesn’t matter which one you remember, but we’ll be switching all of our marketing materials, web content and e-mails over the CPA domain.

If you track Washington sales tax rates in QuickBooks, you should take a moment to update everything for Q3 2009. It’s simple and takes just a minute or two.

Step 1: Download WAQBQ309.IIF from the Department of Revenue website. Save it somewhere easy to find, like your Desktop.

Step 2: Open QuickBooks and log into your company file as you usually do.

Step 3: Open the File menu and then the following chain of sub-menus: Utilities > Import > IIF Files…

Step 4: QuickBooks will prompt you to open the file you downloaded in Step 1. Select it and click Open.

A progress bar will display as the rates are imported. QuickBooks will do the following:

• If the import file has a rate that isn’t in your QB file, it will be added.
• If the import file has a rate with the same name as one in your QB file, it will be updated.
• Any items in your file with no matches in the import file will remain unchanged.

Some people don’t like adding the hundred-plus sales tax items. There’s no easy way around that, but you can always choose the Make Inactive option on any rates that you don’t plan to use.
