Payroll Services in Allen, TX
Allen has earned its reputation as one of the best places to live in Texas, and the business community along the US-75 corridor and around Watters Creek keeps growing to match. With a median household income above $110,000, Allen residents expect quality from the service businesses, dental practices, restaurants, and professional offices they support. Those businesses, in turn, need reliable payroll processing that keeps employees paid correctly and keeps the company on the right side of federal and state employment tax rules.

Our Payroll Services for Allen Clients
When you work with AG Freideman for payroll, here is exactly what you get:
- Payroll processing on your schedule: We calculate gross-to-net pay for every employee, including federal income tax withholding, Social Security, Medicare, and Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA). Allen businesses can choose weekly, biweekly, or monthly pay cycles.
- Quarterly and annual tax filings: We prepare and file IRS Form 941 each quarter and Form 940 annually, along with Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) wage reports for state unemployment insurance.
- Year-end W-2 and 1099 preparation: Every January, we generate W-2s for your employees and 1099-NEC forms for independent contractors, then file them with the Social Security Administration and IRS by the federal deadline.
- Worker classification review: We evaluate whether your workers should be treated as W-2 employees or 1099 contractors under IRS guidelines, helping Allen employers avoid costly misclassification penalties.
- Bank reconciliation included: Because our payroll services are bundled with monthly bookkeeping, every payroll transaction is reconciled against your bank statements so your books stay clean for tax season.
- New hire reporting: Texas law requires employers to report new hires to the Texas Attorney General’s office within 20 days. We handle that filing for you.

Payroll Services Questions from Allen Clients
How much do payroll services cost in Allen?
Our monthly bookkeeping and payroll packages run $300 to $600 per month, depending on the number of employees and pay frequency. That includes payroll processing, quarterly filings, year-end W-2 and 1099 preparation, and full bank reconciliation. We quote a flat monthly rate before you sign anything, so Allen business owners always know their cost upfront.
Can you handle payroll tax filings for my Allen business?
Yes. We prepare and file all required federal payroll tax forms, including quarterly Form 941 and annual Form 940. We also file Texas Workforce Commission wage reports for state unemployment insurance. Because Texas has no state income tax, there is no state income tax withholding to manage, but federal withholding, FICA, and FUTA still apply to every Allen employer with W-2 employees.
What is the difference between a 1099 contractor and a W-2 employee?
The IRS uses a set of behavioral, financial, and relationship tests to determine worker classification. A W-2 employee works under your direction and control, while a 1099 contractor operates independently and controls how the work gets done. Misclassifying an employee as a contractor can trigger IRS penalties, back payroll taxes, and interest. Many Allen businesses that hire subcontractors or freelancers ask us to review their classifications before year-end to make sure they are compliant.
How fast can you set up payroll for my Allen business?
For most small employers in Allen, we can have payroll running within one to two weeks. Setup includes collecting employee information (W-4 forms, direct deposit details), configuring pay schedules, registering with the Texas Workforce Commission if you are a new employer, and running a test cycle. If you already have employees on payroll with another provider, we coordinate the transition so no pay period is missed.
Do I need to file Texas Franchise Tax if I have employees in Allen?
Having employees does not by itself trigger the Texas Franchise Tax. The franchise tax applies to most LLCs, corporations, and partnerships doing business in Texas, regardless of employee count. However, if your Allen business is structured as an LLC or S-Corp, the annual franchise tax report is due by May 15 each year. We handle franchise tax filings for $250 to $500 annually and can bundle that with your payroll and bookkeeping engagement.
Can you help if I am behind on payroll tax filings?
Yes. Al Freideman provides IRS representation at $200 per hour for Allen businesses that have fallen behind on payroll tax deposits or filings. Unpaid payroll taxes are one of the IRS’s highest enforcement priorities, so catching up quickly matters. We will file all delinquent returns, negotiate with the IRS on penalty abatement when applicable, and set up a compliant payroll system going forward.
