EzPaycheck Payroll Software Now Facilitates Local Tax For New York Businesses

Louisville, KY -- (SBWire) -- 07/25/2012 --Small business payroll software provider, Halfpricesoft.com, released the new edition of ezPaycheck software, which enables users to include deductions unique to their city or local area.

EzPaycheck users in New York City specifically had asked for a feature that enabled them to incorporate withholding for the city tax. In response to that request, Halfpricesoft.com added the custom tax withholding feature which readily handles city tax and other tax deduction specific to a particular state or local government.

Other updates include:

- Updated YTD feature that allows users to start ezPaycheck easily in mid-year
- New database backup and restore feature

“We wanted to meet customers’ payroll needs and make ezPaycheck payroll software flexible enough for any U.S. business to use, but tracking down and adding support for every state and local tax would significantly increase to the cost of ezPaycheck,” said Dr. Ge, founder of Halfpricesoft.com. “Our solution was to create a flexible, customizable tax withholding feature that allows businesses to include the local and state taxes. The solution provides flexibility while keeping the price affordable for even the smallest businesses.”

EzPaycheck payroll software is also designed to be extremely easy to use. The graphical interface and payroll features are so intuitive that users can start automating payroll processes within minutes of installation, even if they don’t have computer or accounting experience.
