Pay runs
Payroll run, every cycle
Bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly — your team gets paid on time, with the right amounts withheld and direct deposit handled. Nothing for you to remember.
Payroll Taxes
Payroll, run right — and the taxes filed on time.
Cutting the checks is the easy part. The hard part is everything the IRS and Minnesota expect afterward — deposits on a schedule, quarterly returns, year-end W-2s, and the penalties that stack up fast when one is late. We handle the whole cycle, so your team gets paid and the filings just happen.
In plain terms
What “payroll taxes” actually means.
Every paycheck has taxes withheld — federal and state income tax, plus Social Security and Medicare. On top of that, the business owes its own share. All of it has to be deposited on a set schedule and reported on the right forms, quarter by quarter and at year end. Miss a deposit or a filing and the penalties start immediately. That whole back-half is what we take off your plate.
What we handle
The whole payroll-tax cycle.
From the checks themselves to the year-end forms — every deposit and filing on its own schedule, handled before it’s due.
Deposits
Federal tax deposits, never late
Withheld income tax plus Social Security and Medicare deposited on your IRS schedule — monthly or semi-weekly — so a late-deposit penalty never gets the chance to start.
Quarterly
Quarterly federal returns
Form 941 filed every quarter and reconciled to what was actually deposited, so the numbers always agree before they reach the IRS.
Minnesota
Minnesota withholding + unemployment
State income-tax withholding and Minnesota unemployment insurance filed and paid on the state's schedule — the part out-of-state payroll apps tend to fumble.
Year end
Year-end W-2s and W-3
Every employee gets a W-2 and the W-3 summary goes to the Social Security Administration — all before the January 31 deadline, with no scramble.
Year end
Federal unemployment (FUTA)
Your annual Form 940 prepared and filed, reconciled against state unemployment so you actually get the credit you're owed.
The expensive mistake
W-2 or 1099? Get it right the first time.
Calling a worker a contractor when the law says employee is one of the costliest payroll mistakes a business can make — back taxes, penalties, and interest all at once. We help you classify each person correctly from the start, and fix it cleanly if a past call needs revisiting.
