Common questions
What has to be done before January 1?
Anything that changes on January 1: new minimum wages in many states and the new year's unemployment tax wage bases. Update pay rates and payroll settings before the first payroll of 2027.
When are 1099s due?
1099-NEC forms for 2026 are due to contractors and the IRS by February 1, 2027. Collect W-9s now so you aren't chasing them in January.
Do I need all seven employer kits?
Only if you have employees in more than one area of compliance. With no employees, the Year-End Close and 1099 Kit and the month-end close workbook cover the year-end work.
Is this payroll software?
No. These are checklists, trackers and workbooks that sit next to your payroll system and your bookkeeping.
