ForumsTaxes and Payroll

They outside the business......I have used Paychecks as well but I am trying to reduce the cost of doing payroll..

In my experience and Opinion the easy way is to use Quickbooks, I use it for my trucking company and it is very easy, and quick.

I have the same reservation BUT failure is learning albeit the hard way...
I'm trying TKT software...you can download from their website or Ebay

I do my personal banking with bank of america, and decided to use them for my business account as well. They have a payroll feature when doing online banking, it cost about $15/mo. I have a new company and am still working on my first customer, so I haven't used the payroll feature yet, but that what I plan to use. I hope it works well, might work for you.

I'm not sure about the size of your company/business - when I first started my business I used a spreadsheet created with the help of the folks at the IRS and the IL Dept of Revenue. Worked like a charm. You may try taking assistance from the IRS even if you decide to go with a Payroll provider.

B of A has a free payroll service but all the employees have to be on B of A direct deposit otherwise it is $15. We have a small firm and the 4 us of all do personal banking with B of A so my company payroll is free.

However you can also use a website called paycheckcity.com to calculate your own payroll if you want a truly free solution.

Hi Thomas,

I understand your frustration with your current payroll outsourcing company and handling the situation yourself seems like the best solution. Although the payroll outsourcing company should be eliminating your time spent on payroll processing, it seems that it has become a hassle and sometimes doing it yourself can become very time consuming and bothersome as well.

The best suggestion I have for you is to partner with a payroll company that gives you the flexibility to be involved in every step of the process. The payroll company should be partnering with you to make the payroll process successful which helps to eliminate a lot of the issues that arise with payroll. The payroll company should be able to set you up with the option of inputting the hours yourself to insure that it is entered correctly if this what you would like to do. You should also be provided with access to reports and employee payroll records at anytime that would be password protected. Your employees should have the option of Direct Deposit or paper checks and they should be able view their paystubs online as well access their own records to make address changes if they need to. The payroll company should also be able to handle your quarterly payroll tax processing and send you email reminders of when they are due. You should be involved in every step of the way. ADP, Paychex and many others, charge you through the roof and do not provide the type of personal customer service that you need.
