Understanding Payroll Taxes at a High Level

"If you’re a doing business or someone looking to become a payroll expert, this guide will define what exactly payroll is, why it’s important, where you can learn about payroll, and how to set-up your own payroll system"

Payroll taxes are those taxes paid by employees and employers through the payroll process. That is, your employer withholds these taxes from your employee pay, and remits them on behalf of employees and themselves to the appropriate taxing agencies.

Payroll taxes include federal income, Social Security and Medicare. Depending on where your business is, this may also include state and city taxes. Before paying taxes, all businesses must acquire a Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the US government. Once a business has an EIN, they can file payroll taxes with the government.

This presentation will cover a high-level tax form, audits, and evolving laws and regulations. As we continue to see the laws change, understanding payroll taxes, forms, audits, and employee communication is vital to the success of your organization.
