Dear Clients and Friends,
As in past years, we would like to share with you a few reminders and pointers regarding changes in tax laws and other information that we hope will be helpful to you when completing forms as an employer, filing returns for 2012, and preparing for 2013. Click here to view.
In addition, we have included a form that should assist you in reconciling your payroll tax returns to your general ledger and W-2s.
We are getting you this information now because we think it is important to have a few weeks to incorporate this information prior to year end, but please note that at this time there are still many rates that have not been announced by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). We are closely monitoring the announcements of the 2013 numbers and will update our website accordingly as rates are released.
Included in that section of our website is our annual checklist for other annual tax forms such as 1099s and business licenses. We have active links to the IRS website which indicate how to obtain IRS forms. If you are not sure if you are required to file certain taxes, or need any tax forms or other instructions, please let us know.
Please let your BNKJ representative know if any questions arise, and we will be sure to keep you abreast of any changes and/or updates in tax laws and other regulations that may affect you, your family or your business interests.
