Lane 04 · Payroll
The filings, the deposits, and the paperwork behind them.
Payroll is the part of running a business where being slightly late is expensive and being slightly wrong is worse. We run it so you can go back to the work you actually do.
What is included
Payroll, handled
Processing
Run on your schedule, weekly through monthly, with direct deposit and pay statements.
Tax deposits
Federal and state withholding deposited on time. This is where most penalties actually come from.
Quarterly filings
Form 941, state returns, and unemployment filings, prepared and submitted each quarter.
Year-end forms
W-2s for employees, 1099s for contractors, issued and filed on deadline.
State registration
Setting up withholding and unemployment accounts, including in new states when you hire outside Georgia.
Strategy payroll
The payroll a plan creates. An S corp salary, or children on the books, done so the strategy actually holds.
The part people find out late
Half-doing a strategy is worse than not doing it.
Hiring your children is worth roughly $3,125 per child per year, but only with the contracts, the labour logs, the payroll and the year-end filings actually in place. The same is true of an S corp salary. The strategy is the easy half.
