End of Year Tax Preparations It’s not too early to begin preparing for next year’s tax season. You should note that the first deadline is January 31, 2023. This is the date by which your employees need to be provided with their W-2’s and contractors or vendors to whom you have paid more than $600 need to be provided with 1099’s. For this you will not only need their tax ID. but also their updated. address information. If you don’t currently have this information, you should begin to request it as soon as possible; in our experience some contractors or vendors are slow to respond and may need to be pursued at length before you receive the required information. Failure to timely file a 1099 can result in penalties. If you would like additional information or assistance with completing the CIT or 1099s and filing the corresponding 1096 with the IRS, or if you have other tax related question, please contact our tax support officers. | | |

Health Insurance Premium and Deductible Hikes Many small group employers can expect to see double-digit percentage increases for premiums in 2023. Though TABS’ HR team has already seen several notices from insurance carriers requesting premium rate changes upwards of 19% in New York, it ultimately depends on the State’s Department of Financial Services to approve these requests. Now may be the time to reevaluate your plan offerings. TABS’ HR Team is happy to assist you with any questions or reviews of your benefits. Together with our partner brokers, we can find the best solution for your group of employees. Whether it be a change of plans offered, a switch of insurance carriers, a PEO, or a switch to an Individual Healthcare Arrangement, we are here to assist you further. Contact us! | | |
