Payroll & Contractor Filings
Payroll penalties are the most avoidable bill you'll ever get
Payroll run on time, deposits made on time, and every W-2 and 1099 out the door before the deadline.
Who this is for: Businesses with employees, contractors, or both — especially anyone who has already gotten one notice and doesn't want a second.
What's included
- Payroll processing on your schedule
- Federal and state payroll tax deposits
- Quarterly 941 and state filings
- Year-end W-2 preparation and distribution
- 1099-NEC preparation for contractors
- New-hire reporting and worker classification review
Questions people actually ask
Is my contractor actually a contractor?
Worth checking. Misclassification is one of the more expensive mistakes a small business can make, and we review it as part of onboarding rather than after a notice arrives.
Can you take over mid-year?
Yes. We'll pull your year-to-date figures across so W-2s at year end are still correct.
What if I already have a penalty notice?
Bring it to the consultation. Penalty abatement is sometimes available, and as an EA we can correspond with the IRS on your behalf.
