FAQs

What information do you need to start payroll?

Typical information includes entity and EIN details, payroll-tax accounts, employee forms, compensation, pay schedule, bank information, deductions, benefits, prior payroll reports, and year-to-date balances.

Are payroll software fees included?

Your proposal will clearly identify Alto CPA Group, LLC’s professional fee and any separate payroll-platform subscriptions, per-employee charges, workers’ compensation costs, benefit costs, government fees, or special filing charges.

Can you register my business for state payroll taxes?

Yes, when included in the engagement. Registration requirements depend on where employees work, where the business operates, and the taxes administered in each jurisdiction.

Do you determine whether someone is an employee or contractor?

We can help evaluate the tax and payroll factors, but worker classification depends on the facts and applicable federal and state rules. Complex legal questions may require employment counsel.

What happens if we receive a payroll notice?

Send the complete notice promptly through the secure portal. We will determine whether it relates to the payroll provider, a filing, payment, registration, or data issue and quote correction or representation work when outside the recurring scope.

Do you prepare payroll tax returns and year-end forms?

Yes. Depending on the engagement, we can prepare or coordinate federal, state, and local payroll tax deposits and filings, quarterly and annual payroll tax returns, unemployment filings, Forms W-2 and W-3, and year-end reconciliations. The responsibilities of Alto CPA Group, LLC, the payroll platform, and the client are documented before payroll begins.
