What payroll records should I keep?
Short Answer: Keep payroll reports, tax filings, and employee documentation for several years.
Payroll records include pay stubs, payroll summaries, Form 941/940 filings, W-2s, and documentation related to employee onboarding.
Common mistakes:
• Not saving payroll filings
• Missing documentation for employee classification
• No system for storing payroll records
What we recommend: Use a payroll platform and keep digital copies of all filings and reports.
