Payroll affects employment-tax deposits, year-end reporting, business returns, and owner compensation. Tavella CPA Group scopes payroll support separately, identifies the work and records included, and coordinates relevant payroll information with related tax services when those services are part of the engagement.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about payroll services
Is payroll included with bookkeeping or a business tax return?
No. Payroll is a separate service. It is included only when the written scope expressly lists the payroll work, filing periods, and responsibilities covered.
What payroll records may be needed?
The records depend on the approved scope. Common starting information may include prior payroll reports and filings, employee and owner details, state registrations, payment history, benefit information, and access to the current payroll system.
Does submitting the consultation form transfer payroll responsibility?
No. A consultation request does not create an engagement or transfer responsibility for deposits, filings, notices, or deadlines. Those responsibilities change only through an accepted written engagement and confirmed onboarding.
How do I upload documents?
After engagement setup, use the secure client portal and the upload instructions provided by Tavella CPA Group. Do not send Social Security numbers, tax returns, bank information, or other sensitive documents through the public contact form or ordinary email.
Is this service cloud-based?
Yes. Organizers, secure document uploads, messages, electronic signatures, invoices, and final documents can be handled online through the appropriate secure workflow.
How long will preparation take?
Timing depends on the service, complexity, completeness of the information provided, filing deadline, and current availability. Expected timing is discussed when the scope is confirmed; submitting a consultation request does not reserve a filing deadline.
What happens if information is missing?
Tavella CPA Group will identify the missing items and explain what is needed next. Preparation or filing may need to pause until the required information is received, and any deadline or extension options will be discussed based on the circumstances.
