Ok, thanks Ernie and everyone else! I'll call support and ask how to do it now that I know I can. Amanda Forbes, Town Clerk/Treasurer Town of Fairfield P.O. Box 5 Fairfield, VT 05455 (802) 827-3261 Fax (802) 827-3653 -----Original Message----- From: Vermont Municipal Government Discussion Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ernie Saunders Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 12:29 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Delinquent Taxes Amanda...The NEMRC software can be setup to apply payments according to the policy of your town (and varies widely throughout the state). The system will follow the rules established in your installation instructions but can be overridden by the user. I do believe that a taxpayer is allowed to ask that a payment be applied to the current year. The system will allow you to post it that way but would default to your setup policy had the taxpayer not asked specifically for that application of payment....Ernie At 11:59 AM 8/21/2009, you wrote: >We just received a payment for current taxes (we offer 4% discount >and this is the last day).
