Changes Made by the IRS May Affect 2014 Payroll

How well do you keep up on regulations that affect small businesses?  Are you aware of the changes that have been made regarding 2014 payroll taxes?  Maybe you enjoy reading tax regulations in your spare time.  Maybe you can’t wait to see the latest income tax withholding tables.  Or maybe not.

You may not be excited to read the updated regulations from the IRS, but as a small business owner, you know that changes to these regulations can affect you in very real ways.  If you aren’t paying attention to these changes, you may make mistakes that impact your employees and their withholdings as well as incur penalties for your business.

If you are in charge of payroll for your business, it is a necessity that you know about any relevant changes which the IRS has made for 2014.  Some changes include issuing new income tax withholding tables for wages paid based on the American Taxpayer Relief of 2012 and increasing the 2014 taxable wage limit for Social Security Tax.  In addition, payroll computations are also impacted by the fact that taxable wage limits were re-set to $0 in January.  For a complete description of the changes made, visit the IRS website.
