Overview

The laws in each state and the tax guidance on how to determine taxation when employees live in one state and work in another are different or for employees that work in multiple states for travel for work. Understanding how to calculate tax for employees in 2 or more states can be confusing. Plus state laws for payroll need to be followed when employing employees in more than one state.

A very significant non-payroll issue is 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.

To better understand these laws, this webinar will be tailored to employers that have a large number of employees that may telecommute across state borders and how employers can manage the tax liability for those employees. Especially when these employees perform work in multiple states. The discussion will be also on the relaxed state requirements due to COVID-19& aftermath and the need for employees to work from home. Along with what laws have been relaxed during the pandemic and what haven’t.
