Taxes and exempt status

Nonprofit payroll taxes and exempt status.

Payroll taxes work differently for many nonprofits in New York and New Jersey.

FUTA exemption

501(c)(3) organizations are exempt from federal unemployment (FUTA) tax, and we set payroll up that way.

NY unemployment options

In New York, eligible nonprofits can choose to reimburse the unemployment insurance fund instead of paying contributions. We set payroll up to match your method.

Audit-ready reports

PayNortheast works with many auditors, and our reports tie back to every paycheck.

Reporting by program

Payroll split across your programs.

We allocate payroll to the programs, grants and departments it supports, including one employee whose time is split across several programs.

  • Payroll cost by program, grant or department
  • One employee’s time split across programs
  • Payroll lined up with your grant budgets
  • Reports ready for funders, auditors and your accountant

Why it matters

  • Funders and grant reports ask what each program spent on staff
  • Boards review payroll against the budget
