Product Description

QuickBooks Basic Payroll 2008 is designed for businesses that want to automate payroll, but have their accountant prepare federal and state tax forms. Download up-to-date tax tables right in QuickBooks financial software. Works within QuickBooks so there's nothing new to learn and no double data entry. Enter your employee information once, and QuickBooks will use the information each payday to automatically calculate deductions and help prepare paychecks to print. You can spend less time on payroll and minimize tax-filing hassles. You can offer optional Direct Deposit to your employees and schedule deposits up to 45 days in advance. Give QuickBooks reports to your accountant and have them fill out payroll tax forms for you, or use these reports to fill in payroll tax forms by hand. Every 45 days, QuickBooks automatically prompts you to download the most current tax tables, helping you keep your payroll accurate and up-to-date. QuickBooks Payroll's team of compliance professionals works with federal and state tax authorities to monitor changes and make the necessary updates during the course of a year. Using the Pay Employees workflow (requires QuickBooks 2007 or newer) or Rapid Time Entry, you can enter all employee hours quickly and accurately on a single screen, rather than on individual screens. You can streamline your payroll process, help minimize the hassle, and finish your payroll in a fraction of the time. Just set up your payroll in QuickBooks and then print your paychecks. QuickBooks stores your payroll data and automatically retrieves it each time you run payroll. Easily share data with your accountant to have them prepare tax filings for you. It's simple to share your QuickBooks company financial and payroll data file with your accountant. Your accountant can run reports and make adjustments for you, without ever leaving the office. Give QuickBooks reports to your accountant and have them fill out payrol
