New Payroll Tax Tables Required by April 2009

New tables have been developed due to changes to the tax law made in  the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The IRS requires employers to use the new tables as soon as possible but no later than April 1st. Employees do not need to fill out a new Form W-4.

The Form 941 beginning the first quarter of 2009 will be modified to comply with new legislation regarding COBRA payments. The new Cobra regulations are available on the Department of Labor website; click here for more information.

For version 8 and 2009, Sage Software Online (SSO) will have this new tax table available in a Service Pack. The delivery date is March 23, 2009. You can check the availability of the new tax table by checking the BusinessWorks downloads page on SSO. Remember your ClientCare must be current to download the new tax tables and Form 941 worksheet.
