Information for Payroll Professionals and their Clients
The IRS created a new web page for payroll tax professionals this January. The consolidated section provides a welcome resource that centrally organizes information, tools used in our daily jobs. It’s a welcome that the IRS underscores the importance of technology and innovation with the organization of their resources.
The Payroll Professionals Tax Center provides tax information and links on topics including:
- Employment Taxes for Businesses– basic employment taxes and worker classification
- The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009: Information Center
- Worker Classification (Independent Contractors vs. Employees)
- Employment Tax Forms
- Employment Tax Publications
- Draft Forms and Instructions
- Correcting Employment Taxes including Form 94X
- Reporting Agents
- E-News Subscriptions
- Plus electronic options for reporting
There are also links to the SSA publications and the IRS Withholding Calculator

As we all remember, last September the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) redesigned its website with a new look and features offering improved navigation and layout to improve usability. The new navigation and updated graphics and layout help users access information quickly and make content easier to find.
If you are not sure where to look, start with the Topics and Audience pages. There’s also the A to Z Index and Site Map, and on that page you can access the most popular items (Top 20) or find information by organization and location.
The redesigns and consolidated web pages are instrumental for businesses to identify applicable regulations and appropriate contacts to ensure that they remain in compliance with regulations.
