Family Child Care Taxes Full Service Payroll takes care of all your payroll tasks, except that you write the actual paychecks. Enter your employee hours through our secure web page every two weeks** for paydays that fall on every other Friday, according to our Full Service Payroll Calendar. We calculate your employees’ tax withholding and net pay and email you their paycheck stubs. You write the paychecks or have them directly deposited into an employee's bank account. (There is an additional charge for direct deposit of $1.25 per deposit.) We determine the amounts and due dates of your tax payments and advise you via email the amount to be withdrawn from your bank account. At the end of each quarter, we prepare and submit your payroll tax returns, providing hard copies for your records. At the end of the year, we issue a Form W-2 to each of your employees.

**Note that per California labor law, child care workers must be paid at least twice per month. Some providers pay their employees only once per month, but this is not allowed.

Forms to complete when hiring: When hiring, your employee must present two original forms of identification and you must fill out the Homeland Security Form I-9. Also, have your new employee fill out IRS Form W-4 for income tax withholding purposes. Our system will default W-4 settings to single with zero allowances. If your employee's W-4 entries are different, be sure to reflect this when entering employee data into your payroll account. (Note that employees can make changes to their W-4 form at any time, in which case you should log into your payroll account and update your employee data.) Keep both the I-9 and W-4 with your payroll records. Do not submit copies of these forms to us or to the government agencies. Just keep them on file.

We started this Payroll Service to offer excellent service at a reasonable cost for our child care provider tax clients who have helpers. This is peace of mind that you can afford.
