Topic: Update on the Tax Code Overhaul for Payroll

Summary: Payroll's role in implementing certain provisions of the tax code overhaul (Pub. L. 115-97) is far from finished. As the federal withholding system transitions away from using personal exemptions and states address federal conformity issues, employers and payroll professionals must keep up with the changes in these areas and others that came into effect with the new law. In addition to significant withholding tax modifications that are expected by year-end, updates to changes in the way certain fringe benefits are handled, guidance on some new payroll-related tax credits, and several other changes will be covered during this program.

Speaker: Michael Baer from Bloomberg Tax
