What it is
Paying your staff correctly and on schedule, withholding the right amounts, depositing them with the right agency by the right date, and filing the forms that report it.
Who needs it
- A business taking on its first employee
- An S-corp owner who must pay themselves a reasonable salary
- Anyone who has received a penalty notice for a late payroll deposit
What we do
- Register the business as an employer with the IRS and California's EDD, and open the EFTPS account federal payroll deposits are paid through
- Run payroll on your schedule and make the tax deposits
- File the quarterly returns and the year-end W-2s and 1099s
- Payroll in other states: register with each state where your employees work and file its payroll returns
- Advise on reasonable compensation where an S-corp owner is involved
What to bring
- Employee details and agreed pay rates
- Your EIN and California employer account number, if you have one
- Prior payroll records for the current year, if payroll has already run
What happens next
Payroll has hard deadlines, so we set the calendar first and work backwards from your first pay date.
