Frequently Asked Questions about Payroll

How do I pay myself as a business owner?

One of the most important decisions you’ll make as a small business owner is how and how much you’ll pay yourself. The law orders that you follow certain guidelines when it comes to compensation. There are two standard compensation methods that business owners can consider: an owner’s draw and a salary.

Do I need payroll for contractors?

Independent contractors are responsible for paying federal payroll taxes on their own, but you do have the option of only paying them. When you use 1-800Accountant’s payroll service, we’ll automatically file and email them their 1099s at the end of the year with our contractor plan, helping to streamline your payroll system.

How do I handle payroll taxes for employees working out of state?

Employees who work out of state must submit a withholding exemption or non-residency certificate to their state’s tax agency. This exempts them from tax withholding in the state where your business is headquartered. We can handle that on their behalf when you use our payroll service.

How much do payroll services cost for small businesses?

1-800Accountant’s payroll service is high-value and competitively priced. Our robust payroll service costs $979 annually with a $200 setup fee which is waived if you’re already registered with your state. Our accountants submit your payroll taxes every time we run payroll for no additional charge.

Do you offer payroll in my state?

1-800Accountant offers payroll and our full suite of services to small businesses operating in every industry and in all 50 states. We do not currently offer our payroll services to small businesses that are operating outside of the United States.

Is it easy to switch from my current payroll provider?

Switching from your current provider to 1-800Accountant’s small business payroll service is easy and hassle-free. When you work with 1-800Accountant, you’ll pay your employees in just a few clicks.
