Course Overview

On account of the COVID-19 situation and law changes on its account, and changes in the administrative policies, there have been updates in the payroll tax form. This package covers key updates in form 941, Fair Labor Standards Act changes in the payroll laws, independent contractors and tax collection updates to form 1099, and IRS changes to form W-4 and W-2. 

The IRS recently released a new version of Form 941 for the second quarter of 2020. This revised form will account for COVID-19 related tax credits, including the employee retention credit (ERC) and tax credits under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.

It covers:

  • New Form 7200 for claiming advance payment of the tax credits and how to reconcile on Form 941.
  • Review the ERC and FFCRA credits, as well as the ability to defer employer-side Social Security taxes

The IRS has changed the rules in regulatory reporting once again.  At all such instance, it is required to: 

  • Review the current law and regulations regarding the filing of Forms W-2. 
  • Review the current Forms W-4 and W-2 and related issues to prepare you for a smooth reporting season. 
  • Prepare your staff for the filing year.
  • Improve your employee reporting set-up and maintenance practices.
  • Get practical guidance in the areas that have become the subject of increasing IRS scrutiny.

Though the IRS has struggled with independent contractors and tax collection. And the situation has not changed very much. In assessing opportunities to close the tax gap – that is taxes due but not reported or paid - one of the greatest opportunities comes from expanding the information reporting on taxpayers by payers –1099.  Form 1099 has become a time-consuming reporting obligation and however, it can be streamlined in a number of ways.

The IRS-Approved online CPE/CE course on Taxes covers the following key topics:

  • What are the rules regarding paying and IRS reporting on Independent Contractors? 
  • How do I avoid the IRS CP-2100 (B-Notices)? 
  • What if my vendor claims exemption; must I obtain a W-9 anyway? 
  • What are the best practices? 
  • How can I minimize the risk of improper exemption claims by my vendors? 
  • Other related questions to reduce your risk of huge penalties from the IRS

The Fair Labor Standards Act is the granddaddy of all payroll laws. You are surprised at all the interesting things to do and how important this role is to the success of the company. 

  • A quick briefing on the basic laws affecting payroll. 
  • Where to find authoritative rules to support your policies and procedures. 


This webinar covers the requirements of the modern-day tax professionals in a payroll compliance function with key updates presented by Miles Hutchinson and Jason Dinesen.

It was a little difficult registering that the video was completed, it started over on me two or three times. The review questions would not go to the next question without pushing the button 10 or more times. But that was on my phone. It worked better on my computer.
