Any sign of payroll yet?

[Gregory Forster]

That's why Quickbooks and Peachtree charge $200.00+ every year for their 
payroll modules.  I knew the "workaround" with Peachtree, when I used 
Peachtree.  I went to the IRS web site every year, printed out the tax 
rate table percentages and put the values in the tables of Peachtree 
myself and saved the $200.00+ every year.  Note that separate tables had 
to be used for single and married.  Then I did the same for the state 
department of revenue.  How I do the payroll now using GnuCash is, I set 
up all the accounts and subaccounts I need in GnuCash: Expense and 
Liability.  I then use LibreOffice's Calc (spreadsheet) for the actual 
calculations and record keeping. Using the record keeping with LO is a 
good double check with GC. I've been doing this for years and is a lot 
more accurate than what PT or QB has to offer.
