Map Where Work Is Performed
Maintain current records of employee work locations, business registrations, customers, and payroll activity. This information helps identify states that may require a closer review.
- Record each employee's primary work state.
- Review payroll registrations and withholding.
- Track business activity outside your home state.
Review Payroll And Sales Tax Separately
Income tax, payroll withholding, unemployment insurance, and sales tax can follow different rules. A change that affects one tax type may not affect another in the same way.
Plan Before Expanding
Before hiring in a new state or moving a remote employee, review the tax and registration implications. Early planning can reduce compliance surprises later.
This helped me understand why reviewing books before year-end matters so much.
