About This Course:
Payroll tax compliance is a federal and state issue, so you have to be aware of not only the changes made on the federal level, but with the legislative changes that affect payroll in each state you do business in as well.

For instance: Does your state comply with all federal regulations? Do they set their own rules? Where do they differ? Do you have access to a resource that reports changes to employment taxation to insure that you are in compliance with any year end legislation?

What You'll Learn:

During this interactive training session, we will address:

  • The legislative changes to employment taxation for the current year at both the federal and state level
  • The resources available to payroll professionals to insure that they are kept abreast of any changes to payroll taxation as they occur
  • Recent statistics on the status of the unemployment insurance funds by state
  • The recent trends in state unemployment insurance, the solvency of the funds, and how FUTA will be affected in coming years

...and as always, this session will be interactive, so we'll be able to answer your questions on this topic throughout the presentation!
