What's New?

IRS Strengthens Withholding Compliance Program

The IRS has stepped up its withholding compliance program by making more effective use of information reported on W-2 wage statements to ensure that employees have enough federal income tax withheld from their paychecks. At the same time, employers are no longer required to submit potentially questionable Forms W-4 to the IRS.

Health Savings Accounts

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 created a new, tax-advantaged way for certain people to save for health care expenses. You must be covered by a high-deductible health plan to open and contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA). IRS and Treasury have provided guidance on how HSAs work.
