Louisville, KY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/09/2012 -- Payroll tax processing should not be the nightmare for restaurants. Small business payroll software provider, Halfpricesoft.com , released the new version of ezPaycheck payroll software, which makes it easier and simpler for restaurant users to handle tips and process payroll jobs.

ezPaycheck software is designed to automate paycheck processes to reduce the time spent on running payroll. The software’s graphic interface leads users step-by-step through setting up employee information, importing data, calculating payroll—including calculation of federal, state and local taxes; deductions for Medicare, insurance and 401(k) plans; and printing paychecks. The new edition of ezPaycheck payroll software comes with the latest 2012 federal tax tables, state tax tables, W2, W3 and 940 tax forms. It also adds new feature to handle the tips that the waitress already collected when generating a paycheck.

“Meeting the specific needs of our customers is an important part of our business model,” said Halfpricesoft.com founder Dr. Ge. “The features we’ve added to this latest edition were requested directly by our already-satisfied customers. They like ezPaycheck’s easy-to-use simplicity and affordability, but some businesses and organizations have unique payroll needs that were not addressed in previous editions. Simplifying the financial tasks of small business owners is our number one goal, so when our customers speak up, we listen.”

Available for just $89 per year ($59 to renew), ezPaycheck payroll software has remained at that affordable price since its initial release in 2005. EzPaycheck gives restaurant users more options and flexibility in doing payroll, printing check and filing tax return.
