What Selfroll does and doesn't do
Selfroll figures your paychecks, tracks your deposit deadlines, and prepares draft forms for you to review. It never moves money and never files anything for you. You make every payment and file every form yourself, through your bank, EFTPS, and the state's own systems. Think of it as a careful calculator and checklist, not a payroll service. Selfroll is operated by Civil Story. You stay in control of each step and each dollar.
What you'll need before your first payroll
Gather a few things before you start. You need your federal EIN and an active EFTPS enrollment for federal deposits. You need your Oklahoma withholding account and your state unemployment account. Collect a signed W-4 and OK-W-4 from each employee, including yourself. Last, set up your bank's bill pay or transfer feature so you can send tax payments and net pay. Some of these take time to arrive, so start early.
How your data is protected
Your payroll data is encrypted with a passphrase only you know. It is stored in this browser, not on our servers. The private app page shows no ads. Pages like this one are supported by ads, but they never open or read your payroll data. If you forget your passphrase, we cannot recover your data for you. Keep your passphrase somewhere safe, and keep your own backup.
How a typical payday goes
On payday, open the private app and type in the payroll for the period. Selfroll shows each paycheck and the taxes owed. Review the numbers and fix anything that looks wrong. Then follow the transfer steps it lists, such as paying net wages and making tax deposits through your bank or EFTPS. Tick off each step as you finish it. The app keeps track of what is done and what comes next.
