Managing payroll across state lines is one of the most complex—and high-risk—compliance challenges for today’s employers. Whether your business operates in multiple states, has employees who relocate or telecommute, or employs remote staff living in one state and working in another, multi-state tax rules can quickly become a legal and financial minefield.

This practical, fast-paced webinar will help you cut through the confusion. You’ll learn how to determine which states require tax withholding, where to report wages and unemployment taxes, how to navigate reciprocal agreements, and what red flags could trigger audits or penalties.
