Why It Matters in Kermit

Hiring Your First Employee in Kermit

Many Kermit businesses start as one person with a truck. When the work grows, the next step is a hand or two, and with that comes payroll: federal tax accounts, a Texas Workforce Commission account, withholding forms and deposit deadlines.

It is a lot to learn while you are still doing the work. We handle the setup and the ongoing filings so your first hires are paid correctly from the first check.

Registration with the Texas Workforce Commission and new hire paperwork done right.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Kermit employers ask about payroll.

I am hiring my first employee. What do I need to set up?

You will need a federal employer ID number, a Texas Workforce Commission account, and a W-4 and I-9 from your new hire. We walk you through each step and set up payroll so the first check is right.

What does Texas charge employers in payroll tax?

There is no Texas income tax to withhold, but employers pay unemployment tax to the Texas Workforce Commission. For 2026 the taxable wage base is $9,000 per employee, and most new employers start at 2.7%.

Can I just pay my helper as a contractor?

Only if the work really fits contractor rules. If you control when, where and how the work is done, the worker is usually an employee. We help you decide before it turns into back taxes and penalties.

Do I have to come to Odessa to sign up for payroll?

No. Kermit clients can work with us completely remotely, by phone, video and secure file upload. If you ever want to sit down in person, our Odessa office is about 45 miles east of Kermit on TX-302, and we meet clients there by appointment.

How much does payroll cost?

Pricing depends on your entity type, transaction volume, and which services you need. We'll give you a flat quote after a short call, so there are no surprise invoices. Most business owners find the tax savings cover the fee.
