MISSING TAX ID PRICING UPDATE


ADP will soon be adding a $165 monthly fee for each missing Tax ID for clients who have completed Implementation and are not using ADP Registration Services to assist with obtaining the missing Tax ID. To help you avoid this charge, we will continue sending a monthly email notifying you of outstanding Tax IDs for any jurisdiction(s) with options for correction. Missing tax IDs are also visible in ADP SmartCompliance®, on payroll reports (Statistical Summary under “Client Responsibility”) and are displayed on quarterly reports including the Quarterly Tax Verification Letter and Statement of Deposits.


Missing Tax IDs can delay or prevent ADP from filing or depositing your taxes for the relevant jurisdiction, which can result in penalties and interest levied against your organization until corrected. It may also create discrepancies in the annual Form W-2 filings for your employees.

SECURE 2.0 -

CATCH UP PROVISIONS


A friendly reminder that on Dec. 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 (HR 2617) was signed into law. The Act included important provisions affecting retirement savings plans that are intended to build upon the retirement provisions in the 2019 SECURE Act.


The new provisions, known as SECURE 2.0, bring exciting benefits for both employers and employees. These changes are aimed at making it easier for employers to provide retirement plans and helping employees achieve better retirement outcomes; like an increased opportunity for individuals aged 60-63 to save more for their retirement.
