I just started doing the payroll for our church. They had not been withholding SS or Medicare taxes. There was also no employee portion of those taxes. One is the pastor, and I think he can elect to not pay those taxes, but what about the other employees? well i contacted the CPA that set it up, and he said several years ago, the church opted out. He said none of the employees have withholdings, they just are treated as self-employed when it comes to filing taxes.

I'm starting a small business & need a payroll tax guide to pay salaries. I remember having a book when I did payroll at another job. I need to know where I can purchase one for the state of Illinois.

If company start to hire employees in New jersey. what does company have to do? For example...applying State Tax ID for payroll... How can I get New Jersey state payroll tax ID?

McCain said he would rule nothing out to fix social security, including a payroll tax hike.
