Multi-State Taxation/Payroll Withholding for Employers

Course Description:

What happens when your company is located in one state and one or more of your employees work in another state? What if your company has multiple business locations, with employees in each? What happens when one or more of your employees performs services for your company in more than one state?

The short answer: You have multi-state employment issues.

One of your biggest issues will revolve around payroll. Here are just some of the payroll-related issues that arise:

a) identification of the states for which the business is liable for the collection and payment of income tax

b) compliance with the rules for each state regarding tax collection, payment and reporting

c) establishing the state that is to receive the unemployment tax for a particular employee,

d) whether the employment creates nexus, i.e. a business presence, within a particular state and whether the employer is subject to that state's income, franchise, sales and use, or other state business taxes imposed by the state and the related apportionment issues.
