Payroll services for small businesses: paychecks and taxes done right
We set up and run payroll in QuickBooks Online: we calculate pay and withholdings, pay payroll taxes and file reports with the IRS and your state. It also covers an S-corp owner's salary. From $150 a month.
What our payroll service includes
Why payroll is better left to a professional
Payroll tax mistakes are the most expensive: the IRS charges penalties for every late deposit and report.
Many deadlines
Payroll taxes are deposited on a schedule, reports are due every quarter and at year-end — it is easy to miss one.
States add their own rules
Each state has its own taxes and unemployment insurance, and each requires registration.
Employee or contractor
Treating an employee as a 1099 contractor leads to back taxes and penalties.
S-corp owner salary
An S-corp owner must be paid through payroll — without it, the S-corp savings are at risk.
Payroll pricing
Each additional employee — $20 a month, each additional state — $50 a month, off-cycle payroll — $40, Form 1099-NEC per contractor — $30. See all prices →
What to prepare
Payroll FAQ
Do I need payroll if it's just me?
If you have an S-corp — yes, the owner needs a salary through payroll. An LLC without S-corp status and without employees doesn't need payroll.
What's included in $150 a month?
Payroll for up to 3 employees, Forms 941 and 940, state reports and W-2s. Each additional employee is $20.
How do I pay a contractor instead of an employee?
The contractor fills out a W-9, and in January you file a 1099-NEC — $30 per form. We'll help you tell contractors from employees.
Do you work with businesses in other states?
Yes. Registration in each new state is $120, and each additional state is $50 a month.
