Payroll & federal payroll tax filing

Payroll calculated right, and your filings handled

Employee and contractor payroll, calculated from current IRS withholding tables, with your federal payroll tax filings prepared and managed by the same team that files your Form 2290.

Payroll is a newer service for us. We have built our own federal payroll tax filing infrastructure and it has passed IRS testing under Kay Accounting's own IRS credentials, but we are still completing the IRS approval step for live filing, and there is no self-serve signup yet. Get in touch and we will tell you honestly where things stand and whether we can take you on now.

Who this is for

Small businesses with W-2 employees

Businesses that need payroll run accurately and on schedule, with federal withholding calculated correctly every pay period.

Businesses with 1099 contractors

Contractor payments tracked separately from employee payroll, with year-end totals ready for 1099 preparation.

Existing Kay Accounting clients

If we already handle your Form 2290 filing, your accounting, or your taxes, we already have the business context payroll needs.

What to expect

Payroll calculated using current IRS withholding tables: federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and FUTA.

Your federal payroll tax filings (Form 941) prepared by a firm that holds its own IRS e-file credentials for this exact filing.

Records of every pay period and every payment, kept for you rather than left in a spreadsheet.

A direct line to the people running it, since this is a newer service line for us and not yet a self-serve product.
