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
