With after the fact paycheck feature, ezAccounting payroll software allows customers to enter the federal and state taxes manually. Accountants can use this feature to record paychecks from clients. Small business owners and HR managers can also use this feature if they switch to ezAccounting software in mid-year and they prefer to enter the old checks one by one into ezAccounting system instead of using manual YTD feature.
