A:Answer Depends on how many employees you have. We found the initial cost around $269 for basic payroll for one employee. Would recommend Enhanced, especially with 1099; otherwise purchase the OfficeMax/Office Depot TFP program for $50 for end of the year reports, it lets you e-file W2s, W3s, 1099s, 1096, and prints them as well and super easy (comes with forms, and envelopes, etc). The annual re-new for payroll increases every year with QB payroll quite substantially. The enhanced payroll with QB is excellent with reports and payroll records, but you do pay for the ease of use. We were able to split our enhanced payroll with another company and they cannot see one another's payroll, etc. so it reduced the costs per year and made it affordable for small business.
