SSA will, again, not send "no-match" letters to employers for 2007. No letters were sent for 2006 (see CCH PAYROLL MANAGEMENT GUIDE Report Letter 1248/2017, dated November 30, 2007.) While US District Court Judge Charles Breyer of the Northern District of California issued a preliminary injunction in October 2007 stopping the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from implementing its "no-match" regulation, which included mailing or otherwise sending to employers SSA "no-match" letters that have DHS inserts explaining the regulation, the injunction never precluded the SSA from sending out its traditional " no-match" letters to employers, which help to improve the accuracy of its wage reporting. However, the SSA has decided that just like 2006, it will not send "no-match" letters to employers for 2007, said Dorothy Clark, spokesperson for the agency, in a May 7, 2008, interview with CCH.

The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (Department) has discovered that a specific file of Employer's Annual Reconciliation Returns (Form WT-7) was not loaded to its processing system in a timely fashion. The file contained approximately 3,700 returns, which were not processed by the due date of the returns, resulting in the entire population of taxpayers with returns in the file receiving past due notices for their Form WT-7 for tax year 2007. These notices were dated April 21, 2008, and instructed the taxpayer to complete and file a paper Form WT-7 within 15 days.
