Performance Benchmark tool
Our club uses the first of the month for its valuation. The performance benchmarking tool uses the transaction date. Due to this difference in dates, the benchmarking tool is giving us invalid results. Is it possible to change the date used by the benchmarking tool? ...

club_cafe: backup withholding
Here's a tentative workaround, but you may have to change things. Assuming your club did NOT make any charitable contributions during 2005 and the backup withholding took place in 2005: Enter the backup withholding as a charitable contribution to a 50% organization. This will segregate ...
