Paying Contractors Through Payroll

Background

If you pay 1099 contract workers, you may want the convenience of paying contractors through payroll, even though they are not W-2 employees. For more info about the difference between contractors and employees, see our blog articleIndependent Contractor vs. Employee Classification.

Patriot will charge $4 per contractor per month that is paid through payroll, similar to the $4 per employee charge.

从2021年1月开始，如果您是全面服务工资单客户，爱国者还将以电子方式提交您的1099，不收取额外费用。如果你是一个基本工资客户，爱国者可以电子提交你的1099费用。SeeElectronically Filing Your 1099s.

How to Pay 1099 Contractors in Payroll

Before paying contractors through payroll, be sure you:

• Add the contractor by going toPayroll > 1099 Contractors > Add Contractor.SeeAdding and Editing Contractors.
• Enter the 1099 Type and their FEIN or Social Security/Individual Taxpayer ID number
• If you have Patriot’s Accounting software, be sure the “Pay this contractor in payroll” box is checked on their record. If you have payroll only, you won’t see this box.
