RETIREMENT ON MY HORIZON
Retirement means many different things to different people. Age, health and previous retirement planning are all integral in determining when the optimal time arrives for an individual to leave the working world. Some people never fully withdraw from an active working life.

For me, the time to start separating myself from the heavy schedule that I have maintained for many years begins now. It will be a gradual process that I expect to have completed by August 2024. There will be phases and changes that will begin in December 2023. I hope to be in contact with each and every one of you over the next 12 months and I will reach out to each client separately to discuss dates and expectations.

I plan to maintain subscriptions and discounts with Right Networks and QBO indefinitely to ensure that everyone pays the reduced prices that they currently have.

I cannot begin to express my true gratitude and appreciation for each one of you who have supported me and my business throughout the years. You have not only provided me with a sustainable income, each of you have challenged me to grow and to reach for more knowledge as the years have passed. You were present in my daily life and have become a part of my life that I will certainly miss. I hope that I will be able to reach out and follow-up with each one of you when I find myself daydreaming and wondering what I will do with my day. Mostly, I desperately look forward to the time that I WILL find myself daydreaming and wondering what I to do with my days!
YOU HAVE PAID YOUR 2023 SUBSCRIPTION TO INTUIT - NOW WHAT?
If you were on QuickBooks Desktop 2020 when it was discontinued last year, you have probably already been charged the fee from Intuit this year for your new PLUS subscription. When we upgraded you to the new subscription program, you were moved up to the 2022 Desktop Pro, Premier or Enterprise software. As long as you are on the subscription program, you are always eligible to upgrade to the most recent released version of QuickBooks Desktop.

Software upgrades are generally released in September. That means that in September 2022, QuickBooks 2023 was released. QuickBooks 2024 is currently due to be released September 20, 2023 and you are eligible to upgrade to the newest released version at any time.

Please let me know if you are interested in upgrading.
NEW I-9 FORM BEGINS AUGUST 1, 2023
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has announced a new version of Form I-9 to become available on August 1, 2023 from the USCIS website. August 1, 2023 begins a transitional period in which either the current or new I-9 can be used; however, the new I-9 form must be used starting November 1, 2023. I have not seen any notifications from Intuit regarding the I-9 forms offered within the QuickBooks, but I'm sure they'll be prompt in releasing the new form in their software.

In addition to changes to the actual form which is reduced from 15 to only 8 pages, there are new alternative procedures for examining documents rather than by physical examination. The procedure will only be available to employers enrolled in E-Verify.
