Ok, I know we had some discussion on this in the past but I cannot seem to find the thread. As I am having office withdrawals 2 days into the 4 day holiday, I decided to use the time to work on things I don't have time to work on when I am at work working, which is most of the time, except when I am not working and am reading this board.  I am still using a payroll service but, as many of you posted earlier, you are doing it in-house. I have looked at the QuickBooks site and their Payroll software looks good but, I really don't need to buy QuickBooks and you can't get the Payroll without it. So, here's the question (finally). Are any of you accountant-type people using anything other than Quickbooks Payroll and, if so, which one and how is it working for you? Remember, I am mathematically challenged. Thanks and hope your holidays are terrific. Leslie

Leslie,
Wanna do yourself a HUGE favor? Use ADP or Paychecks for your payroll.. this advice coming from someone who used to WRITE payroll software for a living. They do all the checks, they file all the returns, and they if they screw up THEY eat the penalties - and in two years they haven't screwed up yet.
We had Peachtree for about 3 months. It sucked. Quickbooks looks somewhat better, but I wasn't going to spend the money to find out.
The services are cheap (if you use their small-business versions), and with Paychecks you can select that the paychecks come out of YOUR account rather than them debiting your account and issuing the checks from THEIR account - which I rather like.
Think about it - the first time you file something late, you've saved MORE than the cost of the service, and you still had to buy the software and feed it and print from it, etc. They call us for the hours, and the next day the finished checks come by Fed-X.
Merry Christmas, folks

Vinny,
Thanks. I currently am using Paychex and have not had any trouble with them. I am just exploring all avenues to try and cut overhead even more (aren't we all?). Guess I'll stick with what I am doing.

Paychex. They Really employ NYS Americans, not off-shoring anything and they can generate all sorts of interesting forms, reports, state and federal. And yes they eat the penalties if they screw up.
Make yourself a small repeating journal entry where you can just punch in the numbers ever week from memorized reports in your QuickBooks. Go to your memorized list, open it, punch in your numbers for that week, and BAM, all your accounting is done for that week's payroll. If you're not sure how to make your own memorized report, ask your accountant to assist you or set it up. Any decent accountant should be able to help you with that....
