Rules for Filing Employment

Tax Returns Simplified

Corporate officers and duly authorized agents should find it easier to sign employment tax returns they must file thanks to the new rules the IRS set forth in Revenue Procedure

2005-39.

The revenue procedure will make filing the returns less burdensome on businesses because the rules will simplify tax filing and lower the number of returns rejected by the IRS because of signature issues.

Revenue Procedure 2005-39 appears in Internal Revenue Bulletin 2005-28, dated July 11, 2005. Information about the IIR program is in Revenue Procedure 2003-36. All of these procedures and Bulletins are available on IRS.gov.

FEDERAL/STATE POSTERS

Every month we receive inquiries from members who have recently received postcards or letters from companies wanting to sell federal and state labor law posters. These companies usually make a grossly exaggerated claim threatening dire consequences if businesses do not have the proper posters. The posters that these companies sell range from $15 to $50 and may or may not be worth the value. After you purchase one of these posters, you will continue to receive mailings from these companies every time minor changes occur in these posters. To find a complete list of federal and state mandated posters you can view and download the posters at www.dol.gov/osbp/sbrefa/poster/main.htm and www.laworks.net/qm_onlineservices.asp. If you do not have computer access call the AHA office at 501-376-2323 and they will assist you in getting copies.
