Small Business Benefits Tax Relief

If your company offers and contributes no less than 50% to employee health insurance for 2010, your small business may benefit from a new Government Tax Credit on your annual tax return.  The Small Business Health Care Tax Credit has three (3) key qualifiers.*

1)Must have fewer than 25 full-time equivalent employees for the tax year

2)Average annual wages of its employees for the year must be less than $50,000 per full time employee

3) Employer must pay the premiums under “qualifying arrangement,” or at least pays 50% of premiums

*Additional information on qualifying can be found at www.irs.gov or gained through your tax preparer. 

If AAP is tracking your benefit contributions through payroll, we can provide any necessary year end reports to assist you in determining your qualifying status.

Making Life Easier—One Report At  A Time!

How much time are you spending transferring payroll information from one report to another or entering information into your accounting software?  What else would you rather be doing with that time? We would venture to say….growing your business!

AAP has reports that can sort by departments/branches or even calculate job costing for you.  We can also build a general ledger for your company, as well as create an import for most accounting programs. In the instance of a more complicated or specific report requirements, AAP can develop a custom report.

Contact our Support Department at support@aappayroll.com or call 843-851-2289 for more information.

Please note that most reporting functions are free of charge but fees may apply for some custom reporting  as this requires creating, customizing and/or validation of information.  One fee now could make up for valuable payroll hours in the long run!

Breaking Free From The Paper Trail

Join the many clients who have already dropped the hassle of waiting for delivery of payroll!  Put your company on direct deposit* and have your employee pay stubs delivered right to their email through our Virtual Mail Room (VMR).  The delivery is password protected and eliminates the need to reprocess lost or damaged paper checks. 

Reports are set up to be automatically emailed to you, your payroll contact, your CPA…whomever you choose.  We can even delegate which reports go to each person.!

*Direct Deposit is based on credit and/or references.
