CCH Webinar: State Taxation of Telecommuters and the Mobile Workforce Scheduled for September 22

CCH Tax & Accounting is hosting a live two-hour Webinar, State Taxation of Telecommuters and the Mobile Workforce, on Thursday, September 22, at 1 p.m. Eastern; noon Central; 11 a.m. Mountain; 10 a.m. Pacific. This two-hour CCH Webinar, presented by highly regarded instructor, presenter and practitioner Kathleen K. Wright, CPA, J.D., LL.M., M.B.A., provides a clear and practical review of the many state tax issues and traps that occur when a business uses telecommuters or has employees that cross state lines to conduct business.

Program topics include the following: (1) employer ramifications of an employee who works from home in another state: risk of meeting the state's doing business standard—level of activity protected by P.L. 86-272; (2) employer ramifications of sending an employee into another state: states that have a withholding threshold based on number of days—states that have a withholding threshold based on wages earned in state; (3) nonresident income tax return filing requirements imposed by the states; (4) state reciprocity agreements; (5) state penalties; (6) simplification efforts: Mobile Workforce State Income Tax Simplification of 2011 (H.R 1864) —MTC Mobile Workforce Proposal; and (7) states and their audit practices: documentation of employee travel.

The learning objectives include the following: (1) explaining how the telecommuting employee can trigger employer withholding requirements; (2) reviewing the difference between state withholding requirements and the state's doing business standard; (3) understanding the specific state withholding guidelines (number of days versus wages earned in the state); and (4) learning when the employee is required to file a nonresident income tax return in the other state.
