LK Payroll, operated by Latif Kahtan Tax Service · last updated November 6, 2026
LK Payroll is a payroll service run by Latif Kahtan Tax Service, 6408 Brookstone Ln, Ste E, Fayetteville, NC 28303 (phone 910-527-8058, email Latif@LKtax.com). It is used by our firm, by the businesses we do payroll for, and by their employees and contractors.
Business details (name, EIN, addresses, state account numbers, bank details for payroll); employee details (name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, tax withholding forms, pay rates, direct-deposit details); payroll records (hours, pay, taxes, paystubs, tax filings); and sign-in information (email, password, optional two-step verification, sign-in activity).
Only to run payroll and payroll taxes for the business that gave it to us: calculating and paying wages, preparing paystubs, tax deposits, returns, W-2 and 1099 forms, and records the law requires us to keep. We do not sell personal information and we do not use it for advertising.
If our firm connects QuickBooks Online, LK Payroll asks Intuit for access to payment records so payments recorded in QuickBooks can be matched to our invoices. When our firm asks it to, LK Payroll also creates the matching invoice (and customer, if new) in that QuickBooks company so Intuit can provide a payment link. We never charge a customer, and we never edit or delete anything else in QuickBooks. We only use the company that was chosen when the connection was made. The Intuit access token is stored encrypted. You can disconnect at any time in LK Payroll (Invoices → Intuit → Disconnect) or from your Intuit account, and we delete the stored token when you do. Data already imported stays in our invoice records as part of our business records.
Sensitive fields (Social Security numbers, bank account and routing numbers, access tokens) are encrypted. The service is served only over HTTPS, passwords are stored hashed, the firm's accounts use two-step verification, access is limited by role (firm, employer, employee, contractor), and sign-ins and changes are logged. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
Only the people who need it: our firm, the business's own authorized users, and each employee or contractor for their own records. We share information with service providers that run the service for us (hosting and database, email delivery, and, where a business uses them, a payroll processor or payment provider) and with tax agencies and banks as needed to pay and file payroll taxes. We may disclose information when the law requires it.
Payroll and tax records are kept for as long as the law requires (generally at least four years) and then deleted on request. Backups are kept for a limited time. To access, correct or ask for deletion of your information, email Latif@LKtax.com. If your employer or business owns the account, we may need to confirm the request with them.
If we change this policy we will update the date above.
