Payroll Tax Consulting Services
The diverse rules and filing requirements for each distinct tax type makes the overall payroll taxes ecosystem inherently complex.

Such issues may include, but are not limited to, the following: remote work, nonresident withholding, tax forms/amendments, tax notices/inquiries, penalty abatements, internal policies/processes, etc. These services are designed to supplement, not replace, your existing payroll tax provider.
Payroll Tax Lookback Services
Payroll tax is a primary revenue source for federal and state governments. However, many employers cannot give payroll the attention it demands and, as a result, frequently leave room for tax refunds and cost-saving opportunities. Our Payroll Tax Lookback Services are designed to broadly identify and help secure such benefits in the following areas: M&A review, SUI tax optimization, earning and deduction code review, federal and state transcript scrubs, penalty abatements, retroactive employee tax credit, and other miscellaneous issues. This type of lookback review can generate significant “above-the-line benefits” and serve as an overall health check for the payroll tax function as a whole.

Unemployment taxes are unique as it is the only payroll tax with a “controllable tax rate” (i.e., your turnover and compliance history have a direct impact on your assigned tax rate). Employers should focus on reducing or maintaining their state unemployment tax rates from year to year.
