Frequently Asked Questions

Ask Us What you want to know from us

What records should I keep for payroll?
You should keep employee timesheets, pay stubs, tax filings, direct deposit records, and year-end forms like W-2s or 1099s. These should be stored for at least four years in case of audits or employment-related questions.
How long does it take to set up payroll with an accountant?
Setup time varies but typically takes about one to two weeks. It includes collecting employee info, setting up direct deposits, and ensuring proper tax accounts are active. We help guide the process so it moves smoothly.
Can payroll services handle garnishments and deductions?
Yes. We can manage wage garnishments, child support payments, and other deductions as the law requires. These are calculated automatically and reflected in employee paychecks based on the legal instructions we receive.
What happens if I hire seasonal workers?
Seasonal workers are treated differently depending on classification. We’ll help determine if they’re temporary employees or independent contractors and process payroll accordingly, including any required tax filings or year-end forms.
Do I need to report payroll to my state?
Yes. Most states require regular payroll tax filings and unemployment reporting. We handle federal and state-level requirements for you, so your reporting is always up-to-date and complete.
