How does payroll tax management work for nail salons?
Payroll tax management for nail salons involves correctly classifying workers as W-2 employees or 1099 independent contractors and calculating the appropriate tax withholdings. For W-2 employees, the software automatically calculates federal income tax, FICA (Social Security), and Medicare withholdings based on each employee's W-4 information. State tax compliance varies by location and is handled automatically. For 1099 contractors, the system tracks total payments and generates year-end 1099-NEC forms. Salon owners can run payroll for all employees in minutes, supporting commission, hourly, and salary pay types. Cash vs card tip tracking ensures accurate tip splitting across the team. Once processed, payroll periods can be locked to prevent accidental edits. Payroll data exports to CSV, Excel, or directly to QuickBooks, ADP, and Gusto in their native import formats. Quarterly tax reminders help salon owners stay current on estimated payments.
