Dec of 2017 The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed and it was one of the most significant tax changes in sometime. This webinar will prepare for Payroll and HR professional to understand the changes to the New IRS form W-4 for 2020 and the Federal Government's Form I-9.

The IRS has issued New Form W-4 for 2020, which change the ways workers will be calculating their withholding for federal income tax purposes. And, also In February 2020, the USCIS released its long-announced revision of the New Form I-9. Federal law requires that every employer who recruits, refers for a fee, or hires an individual for employment in the U.S. must complete Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. The Form I-9 process, managed by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, will help you verify your employee's identity and employment authorization. 

The I-9 and W-4 forms are payroll forms that employers Must receive during the hiring process. Employers take a high risk not obtaining them prior to employment. The IRS and the USCIS both have specific rules on how to obtain, verify and process these forms. In some cases, penalties for I-9 non-compliance can result in jail time, as well as Homeland Security, the FBI, an USCIS immigration audits. If you don’t use the new W-4, it could result in your company being reviewed for under or over withholding federal income tax.
