Stimulus Package Changes Withholdings

President Obama has signed the stimulus package. What does this mean for employers? We are required to have the tax table changes in effect for our employees as soon as possible no later then April 1, 2009.

I have contacted my Payroll Software provider, they have advised me that the program will be updated. As I have stated before Payroll Mate makes doing payroll easy, predictable, and affordable. Any updates to the Payroll Program are free of charge including the new IRS tax tables. All updates for Payroll Mate are sent via the Internet. This makes getting the updates quick and hassle free.

This software has been wonderful at a time when we need to be cutting back on spending, I feel this program is economical. As with other providers Payroll Mate fees were not raised. For $99 you get a terrific program, helpful technical support and free updates.

You can download a free demo version of the software from the following link http://www.realtaxtools.com/payrollsoftware/Small-Business-Payroll-Software.html [Payroll Software Download].

Printing My W2 Forms

It's that time of year again. It does seem to come around awful quickly. Hopefully, by now, we have all printed and mailed W2 forms to our employees.

I was able to complete this task directly from my
Payroll Program
. Payroll Mate allows me to print W2 copies B, C, D, state 1 and 2 to blank paper. The employees' W2 numbers are automatically generated from the year's payroll.

As I talked about last year Payroll Mate added a new feature for laser substitute printing. This feature allows me to print W2 copy A and the W3 forms to blank paper. I paid an additional $25 for the convenience of bypassing the red ink forms of the past. The option is well worth the money. One note, you do need to print the laser substitute forms with a laser printer.

I was able to print all copies of W2 and W3 forms to blank paper directly from Payroll Mate .
