Check Social Security Numbers Online

Now you can verify current and future employee Social Security numbers online.   Enroll online, then you can access the SSA site to verify employee social security numbers.  Save time, eliminate hassle, verify online!

EFTPS - Sign up to pay your payroll taxes online
Easy to sign up, easy to pay!  Great for managing cash flow....you can schedule future payments and pay online.




QuickBooksGal Tip:  

Open a dedicated checking account and keep a minimum balance of $100 in the account.  Then a day or so before your scheduled tax payment, transfer the funds to cover that payment into the "Payroll Tax Checking Account". 

I prefer not to have outside entities accessing my primary business account.  I use a separate checking account for my payroll and payroll taxes.  

Using a dedicated account for payroll, EFTPS and State/Local payroll taxes that are paid online limits my potential loss to whatever cash is in the account should the IRS, or any other authorized accessing entity make an error.  

It is also a safeguard should a dishonest employee attempt to forge or alter a paycheck...they can only get what is in there....my operating account is protected.

How to "Un" Apply Credits In QuickBooks

Image
Got a QuickBooks Mess? Call The QuickBooks Gal! Welcome to the QuickBooks Minute. I’m Jayne Miller, the QuickBooks Gal Recently, one of our Reno QuickBooks customers asked about "unapplying" credits in QuickBooks. While there are nicely labeled apply credits buttons, there are none marked unapply. This is the case for both customers (invoicing) and vendors (paying bills). So here is how it is done: For customers, it is a fairly easy process. Go to the invoice to which the credit was applied. Then click on the "Apply Credits" button. In the lower half of the new window that pops up is a list of Previously Applied Credits. Simply find the one, or ones you wish to unapply and click on the check mark next to it to make the check mark disappear. The credit will no longer be applied or tied to that invoice. For Vendors, i.e. bill payments, it is not as clean and simple. The only way to unapply a credit in such a case is to Delete the credit. You can then

QuickBooks Password Protection

QuickBooks now requires your employees to enter a password to view their pay stubs when you e-mail them. QuickBooks generates the passwords automatically; each password consists of the first four letters of the employee's last name followed by the last four digits of their Social Security number. Examples Name:                            SSN:                         Pay Stub Password: Ben Narramore              855-56-4545             narr4545 Deb D'Spain                  782-34-3419             dspa3419 Jimmy Wu                     903-88-7465             wu7465 Note that all characters must be entered in lowercase and punctuation characters are not included in the password. When a last name has fewer than four characters, the whole last name is used (like in wu above) but no additional characters are added. You will need to inform each employee of this new password requirement
