Multi-State Tax Issues for Payroll
OVERVIEW
This payroll training will offer participants
an understanding of the payroll tax and compliance implications of conducting
business within a state. The webinar will also help determine which state(s) to
withhold for when states that have reciprocal agreements or no state income tax
are involved.
There are significant compliance issues for
employers when employees cross state lines in the course of employment.
Frequently, multi-state employment issues arise when the employer has business
locations in more than one state. However, issues also arise when individual
employees perform services in more than one state, live in one state and work
in another, move from one state to another, or telecommute across state lines.
Compliance issues directly related to payroll include identification of the
states for which the business is liable for the collection and payment of
income tax, and compliance with the rules for each state regarding tax
collection, payment and reporting. In addition, special rules are used to establish
the state that is to receive the unemployment tax for a particular
employee. A very significant non-payroll issue is whether the employment
creates nexus, i.e. a business presence, within a particular state and whether
the employer is subject to that state’s income, franchise, sales and use, or
other state business taxes imposed by the state and the related apportionment
issues.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Creation of nexus in a new state or local tax
jurisdiction creates tax and compliance issues for a business such as liability
of business income, franchise, property, sale taxes, employment taxes, and
apportionment, and reporting compliance issues. Employers can
inadvertently create nexus when employees work within a taxing jurisdiction.
Failure to properly withhold or pay taxes to the appropriate
jurisdiction can lead to fines and penalties as well as employer
liability and possible personal liability of employer officers and managers for
under withheld employee taxes. Correcting errors after the fact can be an
expensive and time consuming process. Employers must exercise due diligence in
obtaining and documenting the information used to compute employee withholding
in order to avoid penalties for withholding or reporting errors or missing
information. This webinar will provide you with information on required
documentation and ways to avoid problems and penalties.
