Hi consultants,<div><br></div><div>[This email is about some stuff that is particular to doing business in the USA.]<br><div><br></div><div>I'm a freelancer but occasionally hire people to help out with various stuff like proposal writing, research, etc. When I'm hiring other freelancers, I pay them as contractors and submit 1099's at the end of the year. But often I'm hiring, or want to hire, folks who are in between jobs, or students in the summer, and they are NOT freelancers who do not want the extra work at tax time to file the "C-3" for their own business. They just file normal taxes and expect a W-2 from each of their employers.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>So I think the time has come for me to do payroll... even though there will be months when I don't need a single payroll check issued.</div><div><br></div><div>What do you do for Payroll?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Do you use an online service? Or your bookkeeping software? Or an online service associated with your bookkeeping software?</div><div><br></div><div>Something else?</div><div><br></div><div>Everything I see out there seems to be overkill since they are mostly designed for businesses with regular employees. I'm also kind of allergic to Quicken/Intuit solutions. But do tell if you have had a positive experience with their products. For bookkeeping I use "First Edge" which used to be owned by MYOB, but has since been taken over by another company.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I would much appreciate any advice you may have!</div><div><br></div><div>Shai</div>
