US SHORT-TERM BUSINESS TRAVELER AND REMOTE WORKER TAX SERVICES

Travel occurs in almost any business, and when it crosses state and local
borders, the requirements can be complex and fraught with risk for both
employers and their employees.

Increasing the volume and complexity of multistate employment is the large spike
in telework following the COVID-19 emergency, which caused many employers to
acclimate to and permanently adopt remote work arrangements.

We help businesses manage the multistate employment landscape with comprehensive
reference materials, technology and an experienced team of tax professionals.


INDIRECT TAX WORKSITE EVALUATOR AND COMPLIANCE SERVICES

In the wake of the pandemic, employers are working to identify their future

STATE INFORMATION WITHHOLDING AND REPORTING SERVICES

Like the federal government, state taxing authorities also impose information
reporting requirements, including Forms W-2, 1099-MISC and 1099-R. Additionally,
states have different requirements as to when income tax withholding is required
from nonemployee compensation. Our experienced professionals assist businesses
in navigating their state information reporting requirements.

EY can help businesses navigate 1099 information reporting and withholding to
address risk and unnecessary expense.

Find out more here.


TAXABILITY

At the core of employment tax compliance are the tax configuration settings
within the payroll system for pay and deduction codes. These settings direct
whether a compensation type is included in federal, state and local taxable
wages and whether a deduction reduces taxable wages.

EY offers an automated evaluation for pay and deduction code tax setups as well
as a host of other exception reports to efficiently assist businesses in
detecting potential compliance issues.

This is supported by a robust library of tax configuration settings for more
than 180 pay and deduction types, with distinctive navigation features for quick
identification of the tax rules that apply. This enables us to pair technology
with insights and guidance from our experienced employment tax, compensation and
benefits professionals.

TaxAbility - Consider the risks
17 May 2017



EMPLOYMENT TAX STRATEGY AND TRANSACTIONS

The moment a company contemplates a merger, acquisition or reorganization, an
intricate system of federal, state and local employment tax requirements is
triggered. From due diligence to filing returns, opportunities arise to address
employment tax costs. And, because most taxing jurisdictions allow businesses to
file corrections for prior periods, it is often not too late to look back for
savings and refund opportunities after the transaction is complete.

With years of experience in guiding businesses through these transactions, our
employment tax team is positioned to provide the employment tax skills necessary
in due diligence and in the planning, implementation and post-implementation
review of mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations.

Find out more here.

exempt organizations, can offer a full range of services for employers needing
