As an employer, it is your job to keep track of and pay salaries and wages to your employees and subcontractors. Although paying payroll and contractor fees can be time-consuming and tedious when done on paper and with a calculator, you'll find that with QuickBooks the process is quick and the record keeping is excellent.

You'll be able to produce all the federal payroll tax forms you need, right in QuickBooks, including

• Form 941 Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return

• Form 940 Employer's Annual Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax Return

• Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement

• Form W-3 Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements

• Form 1099 Information Returns

• Form 1096 Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns

In addition, QuickBooks provides the ability to set up payroll deductions for 401(k) plans, health insurance, health savings accounts, employee reimbursements, flexible spending plans, and dozens of other deductions.

Finally, you can produce payroll reports that summarize all your employee payroll activity and company payroll expenses and liabilities.
