Form W-4 and Other Payroll Dates
This webinar starts with a discussion of Form W-4. This form seems simple, but that’s a deceptive simpleness — it can get quite complex. We discuss the form from both the employee and employer sides. Then we move on to other payroll topics, including the latest version of Form 941, W-2 updates, the employee retention credit, 1099 changes, and any other topics that are “breaking” as of the date of the webina..

The main focus of this presentation is on “box 7” (indepen..

We will cover the Form SS-8, where a worker can file a Form SS-8 with the IRS to determine if th..
Form 1099 Compliance Changes for 2020
The IRS has introduced a new “old” form for 2020 — the Form 1099-NEC. This form was used years ago to report contract labor, but was retired after the 1982 tax season. It is now being brought back for 2020 and is where contract labor payments will now go. No longer will those payments be reported in box 7 of the 1099-MISC. This webinar will cover: who needs to file a 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC; what payments are..
Independent Contractor vs Employee: How to Tell the Difference and Why It's Important
At the conclusion of the webinar, participants will be able to explain the difference between a contractor and an employee, and why it is important to know the difference. We will discuss what happens if the IRS re-classifies a contractor as an employee, and the possible relief available (called “Section 530” relief). We will also discuss the new Form 1099-NEC for reporting contract-labor pay. We will cover..
The New Form W-4 and Other Payroll Updates for 2020
The IRS has released a new version of the Form W-4 for determining employee tax withholdings. This new form is required for use by any new hire after January 1, 2020, and for any current employee with an old W-4 on file but who wants to update their withholding in 2020 or beyond. Unless existing employees want to change their withholding, they can continue to keep their old-version Form W-4 on file. This me..
