Payroll handled cleanly, on time, every quarter.

Payroll is one of the easiest places for a small business to fall behind. J&S helps keep it accurate, organized, and tied into the rest of your tax picture.

When payroll becomes a real compliance issue.

  • Small businesses with employees
  • S-corp owners paying themselves through payroll
  • New employers hiring for the first time
  • Owners frustrated by disconnected payroll and tax systems

Processing + filings, federal + NJ.

  • Payroll setup
  • Ongoing payroll processing
  • Federal Form 941 quarterly returns and Form 940 for federal unemployment
  • New Jersey employer returns such as NJ-927 and quarterly wage reporting via WR-30
  • Year-end W-2s and 1099-NEC filings when needed
  • Coordination with business tax preparation

The recurring rhythm.

Quarterly Form 941 filings are generally due April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31. Year-end W-2s and 1099-NECs generally have to go out by the end of January, and Form 940 is generally due January 31 for the prior year.

Worker classification is the big one.

Worker classification is a major New Jersey issue. Owners sometimes assume a worker can be paid as a contractor because it is simpler, but New Jersey's standards can be strict. Payroll also ties directly into unemployment registration and state wage reporting, so it helps to get it set up correctly from the beginning.

What the state actually pursues.

  • Treating a real employee like a 1099 contractor when NJ would classify the worker as an employee
  • Missing payroll-tax deposits or quarterly filing deadlines
  • S-corp owners not running payroll on themselves when the structure requires a reasonable salary

If payroll has become one more thing hanging over your week, let's talk through a better setup.
