I love your software so I bought a license on 8/20/2010.
I have a computer repair business and will let my business customers know about your software.
Chris
We were very impressed with the software so far. ezPaycheck gives us exactly what we need.
Regards, Linda
Wow, you are amazingly fast! I thought it would take a while to get this up and running again but that is as close to as instant customer service/response as you can get!
Thank you again,
Laure
Great. We do a lot of check printing for our clients and used another check printing software which was not flexible at all. Yours is very simple and kind of what we were looking for, so that�s why I am trying to give feedback so you can do it even better.
jtort
All I can say is WOW!! I know that I made those suggestions and you had said something about a gift. I honestly didn't think you would take it to this level. I want you to know that is it so nice and( I say that from the bottom of my heart) cause you know that most people would not have even remembered that they said anything about that and would have charged me for the upgrades. So I want to Thank you and the people of Halfpricesoft.com. If for nothing else than for renewing my faith in people and companies. Tell the bosses that everyone deserves a raise. WOW ! Again I want to thank you all. You all have made a friend today.
Your new Friend
Michael (but all friends call me Mike)
Thanks a bunch. You are the first one in a business that has ever been really nice like that.
Mike
I have to start by saying that you folks are amazing. I've been in the software business for over 20 years and I've never heard of such a quick response to a customer inquiry. I am really impressed and send you kudos or high fives or whatever is current now (fist bumps?).
Really great customer service.
Steve
Thank you for your prompt and excellent support. Not many customer-servicers have the capacity to look beyond getting a dollar today, I think most would have said, "well, we have his money, and it was HIS choice to buy 2010-only rather than wait until the bug was fixed, so case closed". They would keep my dollar today, but never get another one from me again. You, on the other hand, now have my loyatly (though perhaps not much for me to buy from you, haha)
If you don't have a sincere desire to help others, you should not be in "CUSTOMER service", eh?
Thank you again.
Regards,
Chris
ezCheckpersonal worked out great! the Logo option really makes a difference on the checks. i went ahead and purchased this version.
Thanks again!
Vikki
ezPaycheck worked great! Thank you so much...
You have already given me 1000% more customer service than company I am changing from.
I appreciate that.

Divide the annual Connecticut tax withholding by 26 to obtain the biweekly Connecticut tax withholding.
Subtract the biweekly reduced withholding amount (reflected on Line 3 of the CT-W4) from the result of step 8 to obtain the biweekly Connecticut tax withholding.
Note: If the employee does not specify a reduced withholding amount, the biweekly Connecticut tax withholding will be the amount computed in step 8.
