2. What are Year-End Forms?
The year-end forms process is an annual payroll tax reporting process that serves as a culmination of your financial year. Organizations must calculate, validate, and file taxes to the IRS and other regulatory agencies to meet federal, state, and local requirements. The best way to meet deadlines and avoid penalties is meticulous record-keeping and always having employee information up to date.
Missing deadlines means facing direct and indirect consequences:
- Fines and penalties (these can be costly!)
- Miscalculating taxes or withholdings
- Risk of damaged reputation
- Low employee engagement and morale
What makes 2022 filing different?
While COVID-specific challenges are not as relevant anymore, the IRS is hard to reach when you need assistance, and they are still behind from the pandemic. According to the GAO, the IRS experienced many challenges related to COVID in the 2021 filing season.
- In-person services were suspended and telephone demand increased
- Online information regarding refunds was limited
- Nearly 21 million returns were expected to be stopped for errors
Outsourcing your year-end forms processing can help you prepare for potential delays by helping with record-keeping, tax jurisdiction and regulation changes, legislation changes, and correcting errors before submission.
