Every federal payroll-tax deadline that matters in 2026, in one place: Form 941 quarterly filings, the annual Form 940, W-2/1099 season, and the deposit rules that determine how often you actually pay. Miss one and the penalty clock starts automatically.
HR ComplianceW-2 or 1099? How the Department of Labor Actually Classifies Workers
Misclassification is the single most expensive payroll mistake an employer can make. Here's the six-factor test the Department of Labor uses to decide whether a worker is really an employee or really a contractor, and why 'they signed a 1099 agreement' isn't a defense.

FAQ
Questions we hear most often
Can't find what you're looking for? Our team is ready to help with any question about your payroll.
What services does SMAART Payroll offer?
Payroll processing, federal and state payroll tax filing (941/940), year-end W-2 and 1099 filing, HR compliance, HR services, and staffing. One team handles everything from your first payroll run to a multi-state HR compliance audit.
How much do your services cost?
We quote a fixed engagement fee up front. Most payroll engagements run $50–$150/month base plus $8–$18 per employee per month, depending on pay frequency, employee count, and states. No hourly meter, no surprise invoice at year-end.
I just started a business. When should I set up payroll?
Before your first hire's first paycheck. Getting your EIN, state tax IDs, and pay schedule right from day one avoids a costly correction later. Engaging us at the start lets us set it up correctly the first time.
Do you work with employers outside of Florida?
Yes. We're headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, but we run payroll and handle HR compliance for employers in all 50 states, including multi-state and fully remote teams.
Can you help if we already have an IRS or state payroll-tax notice?
Yes. Enrolled Agents on our team are licensed to represent you before the IRS and state agencies. We handle every communication so you don't have to.
