EzPaycheck 2012 Payroll Software Makes It Easier for Small Business to Keep Current with the New Payroll Tax Rate

January 03, 2012 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Nearly 160 million workers will benefit from the extension of the reduced payroll tax rate that has been in effect for 2011. IRS required that employers should implement the new payroll tax rate as soon as possible in 2012 but not later than Jan. 31, 2012. Halfpricesoft.com (http://www.halfpricesoft.com) recently released the new 2012 edition of ezPaycheck payroll software version for small businesses and non-profit organizations. The updates of the new ezPaycheck 2012 edition include:

  • the latest tax changes on the federal and state tax tables
  • the new W2 and W3 forms for Year 2012 tax season
  • the improved user interface with the form level help buttons

    • "Tax issues are the single most significant set of regulatory burdens for most small firms. The Government Accountability Office recently estimated that 1.6 million businesses are behind on paying their payroll taxes," said Halfpricesoft.com's founder Dr. Ge. "So it's a great feeling knowing that we save small businesses money on their payroll software needs. What's even better, though, is knowing we make their life less frustrating and save them much needed time."

    The new edition of ezPaycheck small business payroll software is available for free test drive at www.halfpricesoft.com/payroll_software_download.asp. The main features include:

  • Up to date tax tables for all 50 U.S. states, Washington D.C. and federal taxes
  • Capability for adding local tax rates
  • Automatically calculate tips, commissions, federal withholding tax, Social Security, Medicare tax, employer unemployment taxes, and other pre-tax and post-tax deductions

It can handle federal taxes, state taxes, local taxes, printing payroll checks, and also support tax forms 940, 941, W-2 and W-3. This payroll application is ideal for owners of small to mid-sized businesses, and was designed and engineered for ease-of-use by those who have only basic computer skills and little accounting know-how.
