The new TireMaster 8.9 software update by ASA Automotive Systems will help make filing taxes easier for tire businesses.

The latest update to the TireMaster software includes the ability to store a taxpayer ID number in a vendor record, identify if the supplier is a 1099 vendor, and indicate if their form W-9 is on file, ASA Automotive Systems said.  At any time authorized users can print a report to see how much they have paid their 1099 vendors, making it easier to complete IRS form 1099 Misc. The report may also be saved as a .csv file for importing into tax preperation software, the company said.

The TireMaster software also features PenSoft Payroll, an application to track wages, deductions, income tax and attendance in-house, ASA said.

“Because PenSoft is integrated with TireMaster, there is no additional, manual data entry,” explained Dave Vogel, vice president of sales. “When you’re done with payroll, you simply transfer the entries electronically from PenSoft to TireMaster, and it updates both the general ledger and the check register automatically.”
