Ernst & Young LLP's state guide to COVID-19 payroll and employment tax provisions is now available

To contain the outbreak of COVID-19 in the US, numerous states and local governments temporarily closed nonessential businesses and issued "stay-at-home" orders, creating an historic disruption to the US workforce.

Most states and localities have responded to the emergency by expanding their paid leave mandates; waiving certain reporting requirements; expanding unemployment insurance benefits; providing extensions on the due date of payroll tax returns, tax payments or both; and/or temporarily halting certain garnishment orders.

In our publication,COVID-19: state guide to payroll and employment tax provisions, many of these state and local payroll and employment tax developments are provided by state and topic for ease in navigation. This publication is current as of May 7, 2020 and updates will be periodically published in the weeks and months ahead.
