Over 64 percent of employees work as independent contractors (ICs) in various sectors, from construction, manufacturing, and healthcare to IT and hospitality. These ICs often require their payroll service to ensure accurate tax filing because they are either part of a small organization or operating their own business.

 

Unpaid overtime for the actual work is not paid by the company but by someone else through personal taxes. This leaves more money in your pocket at tax time because you can only lose it all back at once if you take home what’s yours during times when no work is being done on your end.

 

Completing paperwork from Australian Payroll Association can become quite a task, especially if the amount of tax to report is significant. This makes it harder to stay on top of recent changes in the law and tax rates, leading to errors that could quickly become costly.

 

With the help of ASP software from the [Extended Payroll Service], there is no need to worry about:

 

a. Taxes and state tax code updates, which happen regularly.

 

b. Keeping track of federal and state tax forms can lead to reporting errors.

 

c. Knowing how much taxes should be deducted each pay period. A payroll service provider would make it easy to track the amount of taxes you have withheld each pay period, using available information from the PSR (Payroll Service Provider). This is done by consulting an outside source, such as an accountant or payroll services company, who would have access to these calculations through the software package or service they provide.

 

A payroll service provider would make it easy to track the amount of taxes you have withheld each pay period, using available information from the PSR (Payroll Service Provider). When a pay period is complete, it’s easier to search for reports in the PSR (Payroll Service Provider) or streamline your reports. You can also receive e-mail alerts on key events, such as when an employer ID number was added or updated.

d. Having to handle federal and state tax forms yourself in whatever software you use or rely on an outside source. The payroll service provider will provide accurate and timely calculations on these forms for you, reducing the amount of work and research you would otherwise have to do and saving valuable time that could be spent getting paid.

 

e. Having to keep track of federal and state tax forms on your own.

 

f. Managing federal and state tax forms, including e-filing, requires time and effort each year. This is one of the reasons why you should use a payroll service provider.

 

g. The burden of deciding whether you’ll include overtime pay when calculating the amount necessary for withholding, reporting the wages earned by both employees and independent contractors, and determining the taxes that need to be paid on those wages. This process can be tiresome with employees’ paystubs, which are often difficult to decipher or misinterpret by employers to avoid paying personal income taxes.
