Many companies who do business in more than one State do not understand how to determine which State they must pay taxes to. They also do not understand that each State has different laws regarding residents and non-residents. This is very difficult to keep up with and to know what taxes to withhold. As you get ready for the new year, this course will give you guidelines on what factors determine which tax the employer must withhold. It will explain the differences of residents and non-residents and how to properly report withholding for both these types of employees. You’ll find out whether
your business has Business Nexus and what that means to you. No employer wants to face huge fines and penalties for failing to follow State laws and regulations so this course will help you know if you are compliant and what to change if you are not.

Besides State withholding there are also local taxes in certain areas. Some States have local taxes for larger cities and other have them for every locality. You are responsible for making sure you are properly withholding for these localities and you have to known where and when to pay these taxes. You will be given helpful websites to find out detailed information on withholding for these taxes and where to pay them to. Employees must be paid at least the federal Minimum Wage. However, there are also State minimum wages and sometimes those amounts are higher than the Federal Minimum wage. Whichever wage is higher is what the employee must be paid. We’ll go over this in detail and discuss how to know what to do to stay in compliance.

If your business has employees who work in different States then this webinar will help ensure you are paying the proper taxes for Unemployment and Withholding. Are you only withholding and paying payroll taxes for the State you are located in? Many companies don’t even realize that they should be paying taxes to other States or localites. Even if you don’t have a physical presence or location in another State doesn’t mean you aren’t subject to withholding for that State. This is called Business Nexus and you will want to know if your business has it. This webinar will define what Business Nexus is and what is required if you have it.

Multi-State taxes can be very complex and hard to understand. Making sure you are in compliance is difficult.
