Tax Calculation
Contractors are essentially their own business or company, performing work for your company. But not all contractors are taxed the same. If the contractor's is an individual, you'll need their Social Security Number (SSN). If they are a corporation, partnership, trust, or LLC, you'll use their Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN).
Personal and contact information

Once you've verified that all personal and business information for this contractor is correct, click Save & Continue to move on to compensation.

Note: You can add as many pay items as you need for this contractor, and they'll be available when you run payroll. Don't see the pay items you're looking for? Learn how to set up payroll pay items→
