FAQ’s
WHAT IS PAYROLL?
Payroll is a system needed to hire employees and maintain organization when paying employees. In addition, payroll helps a business be in compliance with the IRS and state on filing requirements, such as withholding taxes, quarterly tax returns, yearly W-2s, and more.
WHAT ARE EMPLOYER PAYROLL TAXES AND WHEN ARE THEY DUE?
Employer payroll taxes are taxes withheld from employees’ paychecks. When you pay yourself as an employee or any other employees, you’ll be withholding income, social security, and Medicare taxes. Those taxes are then remitted to the IRS on a monthly or quarterly basis and get reported against the employee’s tax liability at the end of the year. Payroll forms 941 are due April 30th, July 31st, October 31st, and January 31st.
WHEN DO I NEED PAYROLL?
You’ll need payroll as soon as you hire employees and start to pay them a salary, or when you begin to pay yourself a salary (as S-Corp or C-Corp). Filing payroll tax returns can be very time-consuming and tricky to handle so it’s important to get organized as soon as you take either of these big steps.

Yes! We offer payroll services which include assistance in getting set up with various state departments, setting up direct deposit, and e-filing payroll tax forms and tax payments to the IRS and state.

WHY SHOULD I SET UP A PAYROLL SERVICE? I THINK I CAN DO THIS MYSELF.
Payroll is a complicated and timely process with many nuances, which is why we recommended having it done with a professional. For example, there are payroll tax filings with the IRS and state that need to be done throughout the year and need to be filed quarterly. In addition, there are monthly tax deposits and annual information returns (W-2s) that need to be sent to employees before January 31st. Because tax withholdings are submitted to the IRS and state on behalf of the employees, if the returns are filed late and/or there are errors, significant penalties can occur. In addition, it is very difficult to calculate the correct amount of withholdings for each employee as every employee will have unique situations. Some will be filing single, some will be married and filing jointly, and others will have dependents. If calculating manually, it can be very time-consuming.
