Questions

Payroll FAQs

What's included in your payroll service?

Paychecks on your schedule, payroll tax deposits, quarterly Form 941 and Florida reemployment tax reports, the annual Form 940, and W-2s, W-3 and 1099-NECs at year end.

I'm hiring my first employee. What do I need?

You'll need an EIN, a Florida reemployment tax account, and a completed Form W-4 and Form I-9 from your employee. We walk you through each step and set up payroll so the first paycheck is right.

Do you handle employees outside Florida?

Yes. We run payroll for employees in all 50 states, including state withholding and unemployment tax registrations and filings in each one.

How do I know if a worker is an employee or a contractor?

The IRS looks at how much control you have over how, when and where the work is done. Misclassifying an employee as a contractor can lead to back taxes and penalties, so we'll help you review each role before you pay anyone.

I own an S corporation. Do I need to be on payroll?

Generally, yes. The IRS expects S corporation owners who work in the business to pay themselves a reasonable salary through payroll before taking distributions. We'll help you set that up correctly.

When are W-2s and 1099s due?

W-2s and 1099-NECs are due to workers and to the government by January 31. When that date falls on a weekend, the deadline moves to the next business day.

Can I switch payroll providers mid-year?

Yes. We pick up from your last payroll and carry over year-to-date totals, so your W-2s are accurate at year end.
