Payroll Processing for Employees and Contractors

What's Included

• Employee (W2) and contractor (1099) payroll processing
• Payroll tax filings and deposits
• Year-end W2 and 1099 issuance
• New hire reporting and compliance

Who It's For

Small businesses with employees, contractors, or both.

How It Works

We set up your pay schedule and workers, run payroll each cycle, and handle the filings behind it.

Illinois Considerations

Illinois employers must report new hires to the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) and withhold Illinois state income tax from employee wages. We handle these Illinois-specific requirements alongside federal payroll tax filings.

Documents You May Need

• Employee W-4s and I-9s for new hires
• Contractor W-9s
• Pay rates and schedule for each worker
• Prior payroll records, if switching from another provider

Why Choose AG Accountant LLC

Payroll, bookkeeping, and tax preparation run through the same firm, so your payroll numbers reconcile cleanly with your books and your year-end filings without extra back-and-forth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a W2 employee and a 1099 contractor?

A W2 employee has taxes withheld from pay and receives employment protections; a 1099 contractor is generally responsible for their own taxes. Misclassifying workers can create tax problems, so we're happy to talk through your specific situation.

How often can I run payroll?

Weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly — we set up a schedule that fits your business.

Do you handle year-end W2 and 1099 forms?

Yes, year-end issuance is included as part of ongoing payroll service.

What if I only have contractors, not employees?

We can handle 1099 tracking and issuance even if you don't run traditional payroll.
