Handling Multi-state Taxation 2023- Fundamentals and Best Practices

Overview:

Complying with the tax code, tax withholding requirements and deposit schedules for the IRS and one state is complicated enough. But for the multistate employer, multiply this by 5, 10, or 20 or even 50 and it can turn into a payroll department’s nightmare. Add a lingering pandemic to this mix and you can have the makings of a horror movie! Not only are there more rules and regulations to comply with, but the penalties can multiply if mistakes are made

All payroll professionals must know the taxation and reporting requirements for all states where the company has employees working or in the case of reciprocal agreements, living. But for the payroll department that must handle employees who work in multiple states simultaneously or who travel to different states at different times for the employer the taxing and reporting requirements can become an arduous task at best and at worse a total fiasco.
 

Employees working from home can add even more to the complexity! Questions must be answered, sometimes on an employee by employee or even tougher on a case-by-case basis for an individual employee. Which state income tax is withheld? Does it matter if the employee is a resident or a non-resident of the state? Are there any reciprocal agreements in effect that must be taken into consideration? Which state do we pay the SUI to and what happens if one of the states has disability insurance but the other doesn’t? Or worse yet what if both states require disability insurance to be deducted?

Also, an employer with employees working in multiple states does not just have taxes to deal with. Now there are also wage and hour laws to contend with! In a different (read: higher) minimum wage? Are the overtime rules different? Would that employee still be exempt?
