Louisville, KY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/25/2011 -- More controls and options in the 2011 edition of ezPaycheck payroll software allow small business owners to better customize the software to fit their payroll needs and the way they work.

Developed by Halfpricesoft.com, ezPaycheck is payroll processing and paycheck printing software designed for small businesses. Known for its flexibility and affordability (available for a little as $89 per installation), ezPaycheck allows small business owners to automate their payroll activities on computer, saving them time and reducing errors, without the usual high cost and complexity of competing software titles.

The latest edition of ezPaycheck supplies users with even more control and flexibility. New features, like customized reporting dates, flexible tax set-up options, and data export functions meet the needs of small businesses and non-profit organizations with unique payroll and reporting needs.

“Our customers asked for more options and controls and we gave it to them,” 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.”

- Customizable Payroll Reporting Dates and Export Feature
With ezPaycheck 2011, users are no longer limited to quarterly and annual payroll reports. Now employers can select customized dates for reports, making it easier to see payroll information for any time period at a glance. An easy-to-use export function makes reports easier to share with others and use the information with other software.

- Auto-fill Paycheck Data Feature
No more entering dates and other repetitive data on paychecks. ezPaycheck 2011 remembers certain data fields, including pay period start and end dates and check printing dates, from previous pay periods and updates the information on checks in the current pay period.

- Customizable Tax and Deduction Features
Now users have more control over tax calculation and deductions for organizations with unique tax situations. This feature is likely to be popular with non-profits and religious organizations with unique circumstances, like clergy who do not need to pay FICA taxes.

- Employee List Export Feature
This feature makes it easier to share employee and payroll information from ezPaycheck with other software, such as ezW2, the popular W2 and 1099 form printing software from Halfpricesoft.com.

- Income tax rate updates
ezPaycheck 2011 also includes Halfpricesoft.com’s annual update of tax tables. Tax rates for all 50 states, Washington D.C., and federal taxes are updated with 2011 figures.

Of course, ezPaycheck 2011 still includes all the popular payroll processing and paycheck printing features of previous editions:

- Intuitive easy-to-use interface designed to make payroll processing simple even for employers without an accounting or computer background

- Multiple options for check-printing formats: check-in-middle, check-on-bottom or check-on-top

- Options for printing Form 940 and Form 941

- Option for masking employee Social Security Numbers on check stubs

- Flexible check report options
