Thursday, December 3 | 2020 employment tax year in review (3:30 pm ET)

The COVID-19 national emergency has created a historic flurry of federal, state and local responses with significant impacts on employers. Changes to federal employment tax returns and a sudden rise in telework are just some of the pandemic-related challenges facing employment tax professionals as they undertake year-end tasks.

Form W-2 reporting for multistate employment can already be complex due to differing state rules governing nonresident employment; however, special income tax provisions issued by some states for telework in connection with COVID-19 will significantly add to this complexity.

Join us to hear our team of Ernst & Young LLP professionals discuss these and other federal and state payroll/employment tax developments affecting 2020 year-end and 2021.

Following are the topics included in this year's webcast:

  • 2021 federal employment tax rates and limits
  • Federal Form W-2 reporting considerations for 2020
  • Employer and employee deferral of Social Security tax
  • Tax credits available under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
  • Employer and employee deferral of Social Security tax
  • 2020 state ballot results affecting payroll
  • Teleworker payroll tax considerations
  • Form W-2 reporting for multistate employment
  • 2020 payroll year-end checklist

This is an interactive webcast and we encourage you to ask questions.
