The $49/month subscription fee includes household payroll services for one employee. It covers payroll processing, tax payments, quarterly filings, and year-end tax documents (W-2, W-3, and Schedule H) for active accounts.
Poppins handles federal and state tax account registrations as required, based on applicable employment laws and thresholds. You can manage payroll through your personalized dashboard — choosing weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly pay schedules (unless restricted by state rules).
We can process payments by direct deposit or you can issue checks (or electronic transfers) yourself. At the end of each quarter, we’ll collect the applicable state and federal taxes and submit them along with all required reports.
If your account is closed before the end of a quarter or calendar year, preparation or submission of those filings will be billed separately. Additional fees may apply for state registrations, amended filings, or prior wages documentation.
We guarantee accurate, on-time tax filings. If we ever cause a penalty, we’ll cover it. Period.
Yes! Poppins is available in every state in the US, with experts who know the ins and outs of every state’s rules.
We specialize in household payroll only — it’s a different world from business payroll. For small businesses, we recommend our trusted partner, Gusto.
You can create your Poppins account any time before your nanny’s first paycheck.
We recommend completing full onboarding about one week before your nanny’s start date. This includes linking a valid U.S. bank account and adding your employee’s information.
Giving yourself that week ensures everything is ready before the first payroll run. Because Poppins pays a week in arrears, your employee’s first paycheck arrives the Friday after their first pay period ends. Let them know before their first day so the timing isn’t a surprise.
