Payroll is one thing that all businesses have in common. Along with processing payroll come many different payroll records required to process the payroll. Each type of record has different requirements for how long you must retain those records. This topic will give you guidance on how long each type of record must be retained according to IRS and State guidelines.
Payroll departments receive and submit hundreds of thousands of bits of data every year. Employee master file data such as name and social security number, forms such as Form W-4, report to the IRS such as Form 941, state unemployment insurance quarterly returns, employee termination dates, and even child support withholding orders.
A critical question that every payroll professional must ask and more importantly answer is “What am I required to keep, in what format, and for how long”?
That is what this course will discuss.
It will give you guidance on how long each type of record must be retained according to IRS and State guidelines.
