Verify employees social security numbers and addresses for W-2s. Identify subcontractors and verify their taxpayer ID numbers and addresses for 1099s. Gather employment tax returns due for filing in January and February. Review the instructions for any possible changes from the prior year. Gather unemployment insurance rate change notifications for entry into your payroll system prior to the first January 2015 payroll. Identify any additional information that would need to be included on Forms W-2 (e.g.: third-party sick pay, group-term life insurance, relocation expenses, health insurance for S-Corp shareholder, etc).

2 EARLY 2015 DUE DATES AT A GLANCE January 1, 2015 Update payroll system with new 2015 state unemployment rates. Ensure that any new 2015 withholding calculations are in place.

3 2014 PAYROLL TAX CHECKLIST... AND WHAT'S NEW FOR 2015 To help you complete your employment tax returns on time for 2014, we have provided a review of what s due. FORM W-2 By February 2, 2015, give all 2014 employees their copy of Form W-2. The social security wage base for 2014 is $117,000. Be sure to check that the total of the amounts in boxes 3 and 7 on Forms W-2 does not exceed $117,000. Also, verify that the amount in Box 4, social security withheld, does not exceed $7,254. Box 5 should include all taxable Medicare wages, as there is no wage base limit for Medicare tax. Proofread all information on each W-2, especially social security numbers. The IRS may penalize you for each incorrect or missing item. Expect to pay a penalty for failing to file Forms W-2 by the due date. The penalty is based on when you file the correct Form W-2 as follows: $30 per W-2 if you correctly file within 30 days of the due date. $60 per W-2 if you correctly file more than 30 days after the due date but by August 1. $100 per W-2 if you file after August 1 or you do not file the required W-2s. For employers who file their W-2s electronically with the Social Security Administration, the due date is extended to March 31, For information on how to file electronically, call the SSA at Keep for 4 years any employee copies of Forms W-2 that are returned to you as undeliverable. However, if the undeliverable Form W-2 can be produced electronically through April 15 of the fourth year after the year at issue, you do not need to keep undeliverable employee copies. Remember: The IRS considers payroll tax liability on the date a payroll is issued not the end of the work period. For example, paychecks issued December 31, 2014, are included in the fourth quarter of Paychecks issued January 1, 2015, for work incurred the last week in December 2014 are included in the first quarter of 2015.

4 Make sure you report related payroll items in Boxes 12 and 14 on your W-2s. Specific letter codes are required in Box 12. (See list of Box 12 codes in the form's instructions.) Read the instructions carefully to see what applies to you. State Reconciliation of Forms W-2 (MW508, VA-6, etc) By March 2, 2015, file Copy 1 ("State Copy") of the W-2s with each state for which you have withheld taxes. Maryland employers should use the reconciliation form (MW508) that was mailed to them in November 2014, along with the notification of filing status for States other than Maryland might have different due dates for the annual filing. Check each state s website for your forms. FORM W-3 By March 2, 2015, file the transmittal Form W-3 and the Federal copy of Forms W-2 with the Social Security Administration. Wages and withholdings on the W-3 transmittal form must equal the combined totals of those reported on your four quarterly Forms 941. If using regular mail, mail all Forms W-2 and W-3 to: Social Security Administration Data Operations Center Wilkes Barre, PA If using certified mail, mail all Forms W-2 and W-3 to: Social Security Administration Data Operations Center Wilkes Barre, PA If you use an IRS-approved private delivery service (DHL Express, Federal Express or United Parcel Service), mail all Forms W-2 and W-3 to: Social Security Administration Data Operations Center, ATTN: W-2 Process 1150 E.

5 FORM 941 By February 2, 2015, file Form 941 with the IRS and pay any remaining balance due. Use all quarterly forms to double-check the total gross wages on your W-3. FORM 943 By February 2, 2015, file Form 943 for agricultural workers who were paid wages during FORM 944 By February 2, 2015, file Form 944 instead of Form 941 with the IRS and pay any remaining balance due. This is for employers with annual liability of $1,000 or less. The IRS would have notified you of this filing requirement. FORM 945 By February 2, 2015, file Form 945 for separate reporting of federal income tax withheld for non-payroll items such as backup withholding and withholding for pensions, annuities, IRAs, military retirement and gambling winnings. There are separate deposit requirements for Form 945. Do not include with Form 941 deposits. Note: If all of your deposits have been made on time, you have until February 10 to file Forms 940, 941, 943, 944 and 945. STATE UNEMPLOYMENT TAX RETURN By February 2, 2015, submit unemployment insurance to your state's appropriate agency.

In addition, Form 1099-MISC should be issued to any attorney you paid fees of $600 or more during 2014, regardless of the entity type. Please remember You must include your phone number on some forms. You are required to provide the telephone number of a contact person on Forms W-2G, 1098, 1099-A, 1099-B, 1099-DIV, 1099-G (excluding state or local income tax refunds), INT, 1099-MISC, 1099-OID, 1099-PATR and 1099-S, generally on Copy B. If your substitute forms do not have a specific box for phone numbers, put them in any noticeable area. The phone number will not be required on Copy A of paper forms, nor on magnetic media filed with the IRS. File other 1099s as appropriate: 1099-B Statement for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions 1099-C Statement for Recipients of a Cancellation of Debt 1099-DIV Statement for Recipients of Dividends and Distributions 1099-INT Statement for Recipients of Interest Income 1099-R Statement for Recipients of Distributions from Profit-Sharing Retirement Plans, Individual Retirement Arrangements, Insurance Contracts, etc. FORM 1096 By March 2, 2015, file Transmittal Form 1096 and the IRS copies of Form 1099 with the IRS. Magnetic media filing requirements vary with the type of 1099 filed, so check the instructions carefully. Proofread carefully for correct social security numbers and Federal ID numbers.

7 NEW FOR 2015 MARYLAND MINIMUM WAGE REQUIREMENTS Effective January 1, 2015, Maryland s minimum wage requirement is increased to $8.00 per hour. Effective July 1, 2015, Maryland s minimum wage requirement is increased to $8.25 per hour. Tipped employees wages are not being increased with these new requirements. They remain at $3.63 per hour. FICA AND SELF-EMPLOYMENT TAXES Old Age Survivor and Disability Insurance is 6.2% on the first $118,500 of wages. The maximum tax will be $7,347 for Medicare tax will continue to be 1.45% on all Medicare taxable wages. Once an individual employee s Medicare taxable wages exceed $200,000, there is an extra 0.9% Medicare surtax withholding on the wages in excess of $200,000. This surtax is on the employee share only. If an employee files a married-filing-jointly tax return, and their taxable wages on the 1040 are less than $250,000, then they will receive a credit on the 1040 for the 0.9% surtax. (The extra 0.9% surtax affects individuals with taxable wages of at least $200,000, and marriedfiling-jointly with wages of at least $250,000.) AFFORDABLE CARE ACT REQUIREMENTS Beginning in the tax year 2015, employers with an average of 100 or more full-timeequivalent employees are required to offer their employees affordable health coverage that provides minimum value. Beginning in 2016, this threshold drops to 50 employees. Employers must offer coverage to at least 70% of the full-time employees (95% beginning in 2016) to avoid penalties. If insurance isn t offered to employees, the annual fee is $2,000 per employee and is not tax deductible. The first 30 employees are exempt from the penalty. For more information regarding the new Affordable Care Act requirements, visit Insurance-Coverage-by-Employers-Section-6056.
