How to choose payroll software for a small business

“Best payroll software” is a crowded search. For a small US employer, the useful question is who files the taxes.

• If you want a vendor to withhold, deposit, and file, look at a payroll bureau such as Gusto. See the factual HR360 TechX vs Gusto comparison.
• If you want people, time, leave, and payroll runs together, and you or your accountant will file Form 941 and year-end forms, HR360 TechX covers that workspace.
• Match the product to the work state. Start with Texas, California, Florida, or New York.

This page does not rank vendors and it does not claim HR360 TechX is the best payroll bureau. It is not a payroll bureau.

This is general information for employers, not tax, legal, or payroll-filing advice. Rates and deadlines change. Confirm them with the cited agency before you pay people or file a return. HR360 TechX records payroll runs, payslips, time, and leave. It does not file Form 941, Form 940, W-2s, or 1099s.
