The problem

DIY payroll fails on the small things that get expensive.

Late deposits cost real money.

The IRS assesses penalties up to 15% of the deposit. Missing one quarter can erase a month of margin.

Multi-state payroll is its own job.

Remote teams trigger withholding in every state. Each has its own forms, rates, and deadlines.

Misclassification is an audit waiting to happen.

1099 versus W-2 is a real legal test. Getting it wrong invites back taxes, penalties, and lawyer time.

03

File and remit on schedule.

941, 940, state returns, and tax deposits filed and paid on time, every quarter.

Post to your books.

Payroll journal entries flow into QuickBooks or Xero automatically, fully reconciled with your bank.

FAQ

Payroll, answered.

What payroll services does Reconsail offer?

Full-service payroll: calculating wages, withholding federal and state taxes, filing Forms 941, 940, and state returns, issuing W-2s and 1099-NECs, and remitting payroll taxes. Payroll posts directly to your books so your P&L stays accurate.

How often can Reconsail run payroll?

We support weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly schedules. Calculations and filings are handled regardless of frequency, and direct deposit lands in employee accounts on the scheduled pay date.

Can Reconsail run multi-state payroll?

Yes. Multi-state payroll is the norm for remote e-commerce teams. Each state has its own withholding, unemployment insurance, and filing requirements. Reconsail handles registration, withholding, and quarterly filings in every state where you have employees.

What's the difference between W-2 and 1099 workers?

W-2 employees have taxes withheld and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) paid by the employer. 1099 contractors handle their own taxes. Misclassification carries significant audit risk. Reconsail helps you classify correctly and issues both W-2s and 1099-NECs at year-end.

How does payroll integrate with my bookkeeping?

Payroll journal entries post directly to QuickBooks Online or Xero, with wages, employer taxes, and benefits categorized correctly. Your P&L stays accurate and the reconciliation headache of disconnected payroll and bookkeeping disappears.
