2018 - Payroll Preparation for Year End 2017 and Year Beginning 2018

OVERVIEW
Being prepared for 2018 means closing out 2017 properly, AND making necessary updates to your automated payroll systems prior to the 1st pay period in 2018. Prior to preparing 4th qtr returns, year end information returns, and accounting entries, you MUST reconcile the year’s activity. In this webinar you will learn how to reconcile payroll, how to properly fill out year end returns, and when to file them. We will go over all announced changes to tax rates, wage limits, and legislative announcements. We will highlight important State and Local changes, and inform you where to look for other updates. If done properly, you won’t be asking to “stop the clock” in order to make last minute changes.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Pay period to pay period, payroll can be routine. Overreliance on automated systems leads to a variety of errors that, if not caught in time, can lead to penalties, interest and other negative consequences. While accounting departments ‘stop the clock” in order to reconcile, adjust and prepare financial statements; payroll does not have this luxury. Hence, being prepared well in advance of year end can help ensure a smooth year to year transition.
