text: i own a small business and i want to hire some people.  how do i download the correct form?   depends where you are located. in the us you need to have an employer id# from irs.gov. you will have to file quarterly 941 forms as well as 940 unemployement insurance. for states you will usually have unemployment ins, disability insurance, workers compensation...  quicken has a payroll service that you can use through quickbooks, it is very easy to use.  you really could use a cpa to help you set this all up.
