IRS & States to Share Employment Tax Examination Results

cb002163.jpgOfficials from the IRS and 29 state workforce agencies announced they have entered into agreements to share the results of employment tax examinations. The agreements, part of the Questionable Employment Tax Practice initiative, provide a centralized, uniform means for the IRS and state employment officials to exchange data, thereby leveraging resources and encouraging businesses to comply with federal and state employment tax requirements.

The agreements call for collaborative outreach and education activities designed to help businesses understand their employment and unemployment tax responsibilities.

The states that have signed partnership agreements with the IRS thus far are: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
