Question
Hi, Mike. I have begun setup of a new property investment business and need to know if I am the owner and only employee, would I need to engage a service now, or in the future,to assist with payroll taxes or is this something I can do myself?

Answer
It is pretty easy. You should go to the IRS site (irs.gov) and download Circular E. It will explain it all to you. I do recommend you buy and hour or so of a CPA's time to get guidance on this as well as recordkeeping, estimated taxes, etc. It could save you a lot of money and headaches down the road.
