I am evaluating PayWindow.

Let me start by saying I am glad to see an affordable alternative to Quickbooks payroll.

I was also very glad to see you could put your own background image in to replace that terrible logo background, you really should design a new logo.

I only do payroll for 1 person (me) so I do not have a lot of requirements and it looks like PayWindows will handle them, except for the 2 items below.

1. The Tax Liability Report. I need to be able to run this report for ANY date range, not just by a whole quarter. This is the only report that I have found that shows all tax liability and I don't know about anybody else but I pay my taxes by the month so a quarterly only report is useless. I know I can get these figures from other reports and hand calculate the taxes due from the employee payroll report but I should not have to...thats the point of using software. Also it would be nice if that report gave you a total of all liability due to the IRS, Fed Tax withheld, FICA +Medicare.

2. There is no options for SEP Retirement, which isn't a big deal I can just make an entry in Quickbooks for that since SEP does not effect taxes but it would be nice to have it included also.

The Employer's Totals report holds the tax liabilities for the pay period, MTD, QTD and YTD. This is one of two reports that should be printed and filed away as a paper trail for any possible future audits. They are described (note the bold text marked items) on this web page:

For non taxable deductions, see the Tutorial titled "How to setup and use non-taxable deductions" at http://zpay.com/help.

Thanks for the info on the report. I overlooked that report, it is exactly what I am looking for.

For the SEP IRA it is not a deductible, it is paid by the company as a % of employee salary.

If it's not a deduction, then we do not track it. (Ref: SEP IRA)
