Bottom line answer from a Book Keeper at: contractortalk (2009 version)
Pay for the Enhanced Payroll, I know its tough when money is tight, but it will be a lot cheaper than hiring someone to do it.
I’m a bookkeeper and I know. Assuming you do payroll bi-weekly:
$450.00 / 26 = $17.31 – You can’t get your payroll done that cheap anywhere (and if you do find someone who will do it that cheap… run!)
*P.S. I’m guessing the $450 includes tax/shipping or includes something else because the Enhanced payroll for 3 employees is $249/year and for unlimited employees is $349.00/year.
