Is there any free payroll software that can handle our needs?

I am starting a company with a friend and we just hired our first real employee. We want to properly handle payroll, but don't want to pay too much for the service, are there any free or close to free payroll software solutions we can use?

We do not have a free payroll software, but we do have a payroll product that is only $39/month and we process the payroll, pay and file the taxes, direct deposit, new hire reporting and provide w-2's at the end of the year. We do EVERYTHING and take the liability and it only costs $468/year. With a payroll software,you still have to print the checks or pay for the direct deposit, sign the checks, pay the tax deposits and file the tax forms. With this package, you do not have to do any of that. Just a thought for you to compare...please let me know if you have any questions. Donna (505) 604-2792.

I advise against using free or unsupported products for payroll. There are too many complexities, taxes that need to be paid and updates needed for changes in the law. I urge you to use a recongnized service that can pay your payroll taxes directly.

I disagree, talk to your bank. They often provide free payroll software in exchange for putting the transactions through them.

Hey there, I help my dad do payroll and accounting stuff for his restaurant and I use a new simple payroll software. This windows software program is called Payroll Mate, its website is http://www.realtaxtools.com/ . The Payroll Software Download page on the products' website, includes a free evaluation for those interested .

If you are using accounting software like QuickBooks or Peachtree, a payroll module is included in the package. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I would to introduce a system that will give you free payroll. Payroll Manager Express from Salary.com does offer this. Not only can we give you free payroll but we also provide at no additional cost, unlimited direct deposits, employee self service which gives employees access to free W2's and pay stubs. We will also file and pay your taxes on your behalf for free as well. We are traditionally 30-60% more cost effective than our competitors. Feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have. Give us a try if your not completely satisfied with our service you are free to leave since there our no contracts, no set up fees and no cancellation fees of any kind.
