Prepare your payroll department for a streamlined and compliant transition from 2024 to 2025.

Key topics include reconciling and submitting federal and state Form W-2s, implementing the latest IRS and SSA regulations, and utilizing best practices to ease your year-end and new-year transitions.
With increased IRS focus on year-end compliance, early preparation is more important than ever. Rather than rushing in late fall, we emphasize year-round readiness.

We’ll also share sample forms and procedures for handling duplicate W-2 requests, giving you a ready-made solution to manage employee requests with ease. Plus, discover strategies for gathering information throughout the year to relieve December stress and keep your processes running smoothly.
Join us for up-to-the-minute regulatory updates, including adjustments in federal per diem rates, mileage allowances, and IRS requirements. Our checklist templates and year-end memo samples will guide your payroll team to a seamless year-end close and a well-prepared start to 2025.
