Whether someone is thinking of opening a new company or is already in the process of developing, launching and running the actual business, it is important to consider all of the planning and factors that go into maintaining a business while also staying in line legally. Managing a business requires the knowledge of the financial aspect of the company as well as the marketing, advertising,
. delivery of the services or products as well as handling all payroll documents as well. Having a certified payroll form is necessary at the end of each fiscal year when filing taxes to properly record the amount of money that was paid to each employee as a record for any returns that someone may be receiving from the government during income tax time. Getting a certified payroll form is possible by using a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) or by printing free officially certified payroll form templates directly from government and state websites, available for multiple computer platforms (including both Mac and Windows computers). One website, Sunbursts Software Solutions (http://www.sunburstsoftwaresolutions.com/certified-payroll-reporting.htm) includes a guide on the definition of a certified payroll form in addition to having the specific form laid out in text format as a guide to help the reader of the website to focus and complete the form as accurately as possible. Using receipts and other records including pay stubs and cashed checks also help to complete the certified payroll forms during the process of filing taxes. The official Department of Labor website (http://www.dol.gov/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm) features a certified payroll form document in a ".pdf" format (portable document format). The Department of Labor's website includes detailed instructions and information on each "column" and "section" available in the printable certified payroll form and how to go about filling each one out thoroughly and properly. In addition to hosting the free certified payroll file, the Department of Labor also includes instructions for those who cannot open or view ".pdf" files on their computer at the time. http://www.sunburstsoftwaresolutions.com/certified-payroll-reporting.htm or http://www.dol.gov/whd/forms/wh347instr.htm
