It covers both federal and California tax rate information=20 along with their requirements. Click here for the 2018 Payroll Tax Requirements https://windes.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/2018-Payroll-Tax-Requirements= .pdf Of special note is that California is mandating that employers of any=20 size register with the Employment Development Department's (EDD)=20 e-Services for Business and file all payroll tax returns and pay=20 associated payroll taxes electronically. The mandate is intended to=20 improve the accuracy and speed of processing returns and payments. The IRS reminds employers and other businesses to report W-2 and=20 1099-MISC reporting non-employee compensation, whether filing by paper=20 or electronically, to file by January 31. The accelerated filing assists=20 the IRS in curtailing tax fraud by verifying the legitimacy of=20 information reported on tax returns. On that note, we want to emphasize that with the continual rise in=20 identity theft arising from widespread online financial scams and highly=20 publicized cyber breaches, everyone should be extra vigilant and have=20 safeguards in place to protect their private data. Finally, at press time, the Senate had passed the tax reform bill known=20 as H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The House passed its version of=20 the bill in November. The proposed legislation now heads to the Joint=20 Conference Committee. The differences between the two bills must be=20 reconciled before any bill is signed into law. We anticipate that the=20 bill would make the most significant changes to the U.S. Tax Code in=20 three decades. Among other things, it would reduce some personal income=20 tax rates, increase the standard deduction, and repeal personal=20 exemptions. We believe the potential tax changes will delay the release=20 of certain 2018 payroll guidance, including withholding tables and=20 payroll tax guides. Employers may need to continue using the 2017=20 withholding tables and guidance until the 2018 versions are released. The Payroll Tax Requirements is primarily intended to provide general=20 information regarding payroll taxes and employer obligations. If you=20 have any questions or would like to discuss your specific tax needs,=20 please contact us at 844.4WINDES (844.494.6337). In an effort to best serve you and keep you apprised of important tax=20 information updates throughout the year, we hope you find these=20 communications beneficial to support you in your compliance activities.=20 We would be glad to provide this information to your colleagues in the=20 future.
