Frequently asked questions

Requirements

What do I need to be able to use Enhanced Payroll?

You’ll need Internet access so Payroll Enhanced can automatically download the latest payroll tax rates.

Also, the federal government requires every person or company paying wages to have an Employer Identification Number (EIN). Employers must include it on all federal forms and returns. You can apply for an EIN and get it immediately from the IRS.

Can I switch to Enhanced Payroll mid-year?

Yes. You can switch any time of the year.

If you’re paying employees for the first time this year, there’s no payroll history to enter. So, it’s easy to get started.

If you’ve already paid employees this year, you’ll need to enter your year-to-date payroll history, so our calculations are correct.

How do I pay my employees?
