Join nowDo I need QB Payroll if I do not file any forms but I do generate a small payroll for 8 people
Hello there, @CItyClerkAlmena.
Once you have an employee, you'll need to set up payroll form them. Let me guide you how.
Here's how:
For more insights, please refer to this article: Get started with Payroll.
I'm just a post away if you have any other questions. Have a great day.
Please expand on how you can generate payroll yet not have to file forms. Are you using a different payroll product and merely need to record the results in QB? Even for only 8 people there are enough forms to file. You can do it all the old school way with the IRS publications and tax tables and paper forms but there comes a time when even an 8 employee business will be required to file everything electronically (not yet)
We are a municipality with only 8 employees. We pay employees but give our file to our CPA to file all payroll taxes. I do make the monthly liability payments but file no forms
Hey, @CItyClerkAlmena.
I can provide you with some additional information on if you need QuickBooks Payroll Software. There's a feature within QuickBooks Desktop that records the payroll but doesn't calculate and enter payroll taxes, and file your tax forms for you. This is called Manual Payroll. Here's how to set it up:
QuickBooks Desktop 2018 or later
Note: If you set this feature up, you'll need to calculate payroll taxes and file payroll forms outside of QuickBooks.
If you have any trouble along the way or need a better explanation on what would be best for your business, then I recommend contacting our Customer Support Team. They have additional tools to use a screen share to walk you through the steps.
Let me know if this helps. I'm always here to have your back. Enjoy the rest of your day!
