## Reviews

### "What to expect with ezPaycheck" — 5.0/5

> **Fred** | *December 27, 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Value for the money, customer support and synching with their W2 and W2c. The electronic submissions to SSA and State work well
> 
> **Cons**: Banking and money management is not great. This product needs to work like Quickbooks, Patriot Payroll in where they handle the direct deposit instead of a NACHA file to your bank.
> 
> For non direct deposit clients, works like a charm. This product needs to work like Quickbooks, Patriot Payroll in where they handle the direct deposit instead of a NACHA file to your bank.

### "Easy working on it" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *May 27, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It provides the services for paychecks, inexpensive cost of the software. It also supports the create of the 941, 940 and W2s. It is perfect for small business that I have used it for many years.
> 
> **Cons**: The ez-Paycheck has the activation code that can use multiple on multiple computers. Now it is allowed to work on one computer only and make me feel less convenience to work on one computer only.
> 
> I have used this ez-paycheck for many years. It has helped me to provide the payroll services that is all of my needs as well as reporting the quarterly payroll tax, annual payroll tax, and issue W2s.

### "Customer Service Excellent" — 5.0/5

> **JAMIE** | *July 20, 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Not an overly complicated payroll, which is perfect for our small business.  Any question I did have was responded to right away and also contained additional links to not only answer the question but to get more context. And it's not Quickbooks Online\!  Love not being barraged with ads. Most of all, support and customer service is the best.
> 
> **Cons**: There was a, employee deduction that is matched by the employer based on the number of hours worked (unique to our State) which the system wasn't able to create, but definitely not a deal breaker, as the calculation was easily completed outside of the payroll system and dropped in after the fact.  We have a small staff, so this works.  If you had a large number of employees then it may have been tedious and not an attractive feature.  That being said, this issue is pretty common with comparable systems that I tested.
> 
> For our small company, this software was the perfect fit and I promise the customer service is heads above an assistance received via quickbooks.

### "Good but could be Improved Software" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *May 21, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Affordable, I have several small companies with one to 15 employees. Easy to use for miscellaneous and payroll checks.
> 
> **Cons**: Support does not listen or fix the problems, minor things like the sign section of form 941 always print the previous client information. Also, there has been a few times that I done the deposits using their information, and when I do the quarterly reports, it shows different amounts. No State Report numbers, I have to keep an Excel spreadsheet to verify the deposits and for the State withholdings. Also, the e-file option is very complicated and requires the client signature, which is hard to upload, when you have limited computer skills
> 
> I have thought about switching to other software program but because of the Value for the Money, I work around the problems. For e-filing, I used them for 1099's but used another company for the W-2s

### "Best option to Quickbooks payroll and affordable" — 4.0/5

> **Michael** | *May 21, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cost and availability to use multiple companies. Since it is not a month to month subscription based product, it is very economical with multiple companies.
> 
> **Cons**: Does not have a Mac network version and also no Mac EZ accounting software to network two computers. I don't want to use a virtual server....
> 
> Mostly positive. I am a payroll provider for many companies so my needs are high but not technical. I am satisfied with the product.
