Federal Hire act Could Cut Costs for Employers

Employers who hired unemployed workers this year (after Feb. 3, 2010 and before Jan. 1, 2011) may qualify for a 6.2 percent payroll tax incentive.  In effect, this exempts the employer from their share of Social Security taxes on wages paid to these workers from March 18, 2010 to December 31, 2010.  Employers would still need to withhold the employee's 6.2 percent share of Social Security taxes, as well as income taxes.  The employer and employee's share of Medicare taxes would also still apply to these wages.  A statement from the employee certifying that he or she has not been employed full-time in the 60 days proceeding hiring, or worked less than 40 hours in the last 60 days, will be required.  This form is IRS From W-11.  If you have questions, then please feel free to call Jessica at (800) 81-3972, Ext. 123.
