Upgrade Square Payroll to support Federal form 943 so agriculture users can use this feature.

[mwest63]

I have been using Square for several years and have been following Payroll.  I am an agriculture user and currently cannot use the Payroll feature as I file form 943.  It seems like Square is missing out on a lot of users who would be interested.  Since we don't use payroll, the teams feature is not being utilized to it's potential.

Hello there, @Appleorchard - 

Welcome to the Community! 

Unfortunately, our Square Payroll wouldn't be a good fit for the Form 943 businesses. There is an issue with the automated tax payments that are set up when the Payroll account is created. 

Thank you for posting. Have a great day!

The title of this thread has been changed from: Any idea when Payroll will support Agricultural Employees file form 943?

Any idea when Payroll will support Agricultural Employees file form 943?  I have been using Square for my POS as well as, Timecard tracking of my employees, any would like to be able to use for Payroll.  Unfortunatley for about a year now I have been for to use a competitor for payroll services since you do not support Agricultural Employers who need to file 943 form instead of 941.

Thanks for your post @LazyElm. Our Payroll team is definitely exploring this but I don't have a timeline to share. We'll announce any updates as soon as they're available. I hope you can use Payroll again in the future!

Is there any update on when Square payroll will add Agricultural federal form 943 for filing?  I would love to use this service.

I've moved your post to this thread so that we can continue to track this request for our Payroll team. This is currently still a feature request - thank you for flagging your interest in this by posting in the Seller Community, @mwest63!

I would also like to know when Square will support payroll for agricultural employees as I am looking for the service. If it is not soon, I will be forced to go to a competitor, and once that is set up, I won't necessarily want to spend the time to switch to square once it is offered unless the cost difference is significant.

I want to do square payroll but can't because we are a farm that uses form 943. Can I file it myself and still use payroll?

Any updates on this request - we would love to use Square Payroll if Agricultural Employees could be paid.

Has anything changed on Square payroll being able to file Agricultural Form 943? We would like to use this payroll feature but not sure it would be worth it if Square isn't set up for it...

Any updates on this? Would love to switch for Square Payroll, but can't right now due to Form 943 requirements
