What does profit Wise offer to help with payroll?
A workers’ comp audit is a review your insurance carrier conducts (usually annually) to verify that the premium you paid actually matches your business’s real payroll and risk exposure during the policy period.
An unemployment claim is a request someone files with their state’s unemployment insurance program to receive temporary financial benefits after losing a job — typically through no fault of their own (layoff, downsizing, etc., rather than being fired for misconduct or quitting voluntarily).
In payroll specifically, this refers to a review — usually by the IRS, sometimes triggered by the SSA — of whether your business correctly handled the Social Security portion of payroll taxes for your employees.
A child support audit in payroll terms reviews whether an employer correctly and timely withheld and remitted court-ordered child support from an employee’s paycheck, applied the correct withholding limits, and properly prioritized multiple garnishments. Noncompliance can result in employer penalties or, in some states, liability for the full unpaid amount.
W-2 processing is preparing and issuing each employee’s annual wage and tax statement; W-3 processing is submitting the summary transmittal form with the SSA that totals all W-2s filed. Both are due by January 31, and accuracy matters — errors require filing corrected W-2c/W-3c forms afterward.
1099 processing means reporting payments of $600+ to contractors and vendors, most commonly via Form 1099-NEC. Form 1096 is the paper summary transmittal filed with the IRS (not needed if e-filing). Getting a completed Form W-9 from every contractor before paying them is the key step that makes accurate 1099 filing possible.
Registration becomes a payroll topic because you legally cannot withhold, remit, or report payroll taxes — federal or state — until you’re registered with the right agencies. It’s the prerequisite step that makes everything else we discussed (W-2/W-3, 1099s, unemployment claims, SS audits) even possible to do correctly. A new employer who skips this step is often the one who ends up facing penalties later, not because they did payroll wrong, but because they weren’t set up to do it at all.
