Federal income taxes are so common that it is easy to forget their relatively recent origin. It is also easy to forget that the withholding of these taxes falls under IRS regulations that are strict and non-yielding in many cases. Simply put, the employer either collects the amount due from the employee or pays their portion and sends it directly to the IRS.
But though it sounds simple and basic the employer must withhold the taxes correctly based on several factors including:
The penalties are severe for failing to comply with employment tax rules and procedures since the IRS imposes both civil and criminal penalties on employers. In addition to these penalties, employers also must pay interest on any underpayment of tax resulting from noncompliance with these same regulations.
Then once the taxes are withheld and paid, they must be reported and reconciled. Which forms are used for the initial reporting and when are they due? Which forms are used to correct already submitted forms? These are critical questions that the payroll professional must have answers to right on the tip of their tongues. So, although we like to refer to this as basic payroll it is anything but basic. It is the foundation that supports both quarter-end and year-end as well as all other IRS compliance issues facing the payroll department.
In this CE Tax Course, we will cover an overview of the federal tax system. From that point, the course will discuss federal income tax including using Form W-4 and supplemental tax rates. From there the course moves on to a discussion of FICA taxes. The course will then move to discuss the depositing and reporting of both FIT and FICA taxes.
Join this CPE Webinar it will review the penalties for failure to comply with IRS regulations.

I enjoyed this course, though the last three topics are very rushed with limited additional information apart from what is shared on the slides.
RP
The instructor was very knowledgeable about the subject, very clear and it was not a race training. I would recommend it to my friends.
