Get Up-to-Date on Federal Tax Filing Requirements and State Credit Reductions

For years, payroll professionals only had to consider routine rate changes for state unemployment. However, recent IRS updates to federal Form 940, along with the financial strain on state unemployment funds, have led to significant changes in payroll unemployment taxes.

Employers are increasingly concerned about credit reductions affecting certain states. This webinar by payroll expert Dayna J. Reum, CPP, FPC will cover recent updates and offer strategies to stay proactive. Dayne will also ensure that employers understand when and how credit reductions may impact them in specific states.
