The Clocking is ticking! Halfpricesoft reminds employers that the deadline for Year 2011 payroll tax

Jan. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Millions of workers will see their take-home pay rise during 2011 because the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 provides a two percentage point payroll tax cut for employees, reducing their Social Security tax withholding rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent of wages paid.

IRS asks that employers start using the new withholding tables and reducing the amount of Social Security tax withheld as soon as possible in 2011 but not later than Jan. 31, 2011.

Designed with non-accountant business owners and managers in mind, ezPaycheck 2011 Payroll Software is released to help small businesses and accountants to handle the latest tax changes easily and smoothly.  The latest edition of ezPaycheck implements the 2011 cut in payroll taxes, along with new income-tax withholding tables that employers will use during 2011.

ezPaycheck payroll software is loaded with intelligent, intuitive features, but not burdened by complicated suites of expensive applications small businesses will never use or need. The software is ideal for owners of small to mid-sized businesses, and was designed and engineered for ease-of-use by those who have only basic computer skills and little accounting know-how.

"For the majority of small businesses in the world there really hasn't been a simple, dependable payroll program until ezPaycheck. So it's a great feeling knowing that we save small businesses money on their payroll software needs.
