I really don't understand some of the negative comments above . I am the treasurer of a small New England church. As an engineer by profession, and have found paying the monthly tax payments to the IRS and state DOR, issuing the quarterly 941s and annual W-2s, an extremely frustrating part of the job; with MANY hours spent trying to decipher the bureaurocratic tax lingo. if you make a mistake, it takes 6 months to correct with the IRS or SSA! This arrangement w/PAYCHEX has been a GODSEND to me, eliminating the most frustrating part of my job. The people I have been dealing with (initial sales call, dedicated account representative and trainer) are thoroughly competent in their jobs (the highest compliment I can pay someone). They have a complete understanding of every aspect of the tax issues w/r/t ordained ministers tax & SS/Medicare implications vs. regular employee differences. I was pleasantly surprised by the PAINLESS transition process! Having a dedicated account representative is a real plus, and the training for online access was very thorough and timely. Another, but almost more important reason for employing PAYCHEX than making my life easier, was continuity of the payroll process and tax submissions and reporting. If something were to happen to me, our employee payroll and tax filings now continues unabated! A backup person is identified who can continue the process with a phone call. So, from all points of view, unless you have a professional finance person who will never transfer, resign or die, the continuity alone is worth the cost. Just do it!
