Recent months have brought significant changes to employers’ withholding and payroll reporting requirements. The IRS fundamentally revamped Form W-4 for employee reporting, doing away with the concept of allowances and requiring changes to payroll administration and employee communications.

More recently, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act created new reporting requirements for tracking and documenting COVID-19 paid leave under FFCRA. This involves changes to Forms 941 and W-2, and a brand new Form 7200.
