Why It Matters in Okeechobee

Payroll for Okeechobee employers

Okeechobee is the county seat of Okeechobee County, just north of the big lake. In the 1930s the town shipped hundreds of train cars of winter vegetables a year, and agriculture is still the backbone of the county economy. Ranches, dairies and farms still sit at the center of it, with trucking, building, repair and service firms working around them all year.

Florida doesn’t tax wages, but employers here still owe reemployment tax on the first $7,000 per worker, with RT-6 returns due quarterly. Federal deposits run on their own schedule. Brian keeps both on track, prepares W-2s and 1099s after year end, and deals with the IRS if deposits were missed before you hired him.
