Best Practices for Multi-State Payroll

Does your business have employees who work in different States?  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.  If you are unsure if you are withholding   everything you need to withhold then you will want to attend this webinar.  We will cover the fundamentals of the different types of withholdings and unemployment you will need to be aware of.  We’ll discuss how to determine which State to withhold taxes for and other things to consider. 

When employees work in more than 1 State you may be unsure which State to pay Unemployment to.  The rules to determine this can be confusing and you may not be aware of how to even make this determination.  If an employee terminates and files for unemployment in their home state you run the risk of receiving penalties if you have not filed wages to the correct State for unemployment benefits.  Attending this webinar will give you guidance on how to make the correct determination.

You will be able to define when a State law takes precedence over a federal law.   You will be able to explain what Nexus is and whether your company has it.  You will be able to identify State minimum wage rates.  You will be able to recognize which State you pay Unemployment Taxes to.
