Is DIY Payroll Costing You More Than You Think?

Is DIY Payroll Costing You More Than You Think?

Payroll Looks Easy, Until It Isn’t.

If you’re a small business owner managing payroll yourself, you’re not alone.

Many entrepreneurs take the DIY route to save money, especially in the early stages. But here’s the truth: doing your own payroll could be costing you far more than you realize—in time, stress, and even money.

Let’s break it down.

What We Commonly See Go Wrong

Even the most organized business owners run into these issues:

  1. Late Filings = Penalties Missing IRS or state deadlines leads to automatic fines, sometimes thousands of dollars per year.
  2. Incorrect Tax Withholdings = Audits One small error in withholding can raise red flags with the IRS and invite an audit no business owner wants.
  3. Employee Misclassification = Legal Risks Mixing up W-2s and 1099s or misunderstanding labor laws can trigger lawsuits or back taxes.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not failing—you’re just being stretched too thin.
