In February of last year, we discussed the IRS reporting requirements statute, which was added in November of 2009 to the Housing Assistance Tax Act of 2008. In a nutshell, this statute required all credit card processing companies to report the merchant services activities of all merchants beginning January 1st, 2011. Processors are also required to report the correct legal name, Tax Payer Identification Number and address of all merchants processing credit cards. It is imperative that the information we have on record is accurate, as the IRS backup withholding rules will be applied to this statute. This means that our processors will be required to withhold Federal Income Tax (currently 28%) if any pertinent information is missing or if there are any discrepancies with Federal Tax ID

I’ve even been accused of implying that my staff can ‘Walk on Water’! Well they do not walk on water (that position was filled over 2000 years ago), but there is a reason why I feel so comfortable making large promises regarding the service level of my team: THEY DELIVER!

While ‘Keeping Your Business For The Life of Your Business’ is a lofty goal- it is one that we work very diligently on here at TMC. So when the unthinkable happens (a merchant decides to go elsewhere for services ), we always take the time to assess the situation to see if there are additional actions or steps we can take to prevent the loss of future merchants and to Leave the Door Open- so our ex Merchants can find their way home! Knowledgeable & Friendly Staff: Our staff has been specially trained to ‘know their stuff’ and to keep your end result in mind when handling any task or request. In an industry that changes as rapidly as ours, that knowledge is immensely valuable. Knowing you can

My favorite airline is Southwest! In addition to Excellent service, affordable airfare and a majority of staff members who LOVE their job, they also provide literary favors for those of us who love to read! Of course I am talking about the SkyMall & Spirit magazines. In the October edition of the Spirit magazine, they published the following information about Stolen Credit Cards: Stolen credit card numbers sell online for as little as 7 cents each. It’s one crime that does pay, unfortunately. Criminals looking to buy and sell personal information lurk in “underground economy servers”- essentially giant e-flea markets full of stolen data.
