The beginning of a new year is a great time for employees to review their withholding and determine if any adjustments are necessary.
The IRS has released the 2020 Form W4 which has been redesigned to reduce complexity and increase the accurateness of the withholding system.
The 2020 W4 form should be used by new hires and any employees making withholding changes in 2020.
The IRS has announced the contribution limit for employees who participate in a 401K, 403B and most 457 plans will increase to $19,500 for the tax year 2020 (up from $19,000 in 2019).
The catch-up contribution limit for employees aged 50 and over who participate in these plans will increase to $6,500 (up from $6,000 in 2019).
Starting 12/31/2018 through 12/30/2019, the basic minimum wage will be $11.10 per hour in most of New York State.
The minimum wage rate differ based on: the fast food industry, tipped workers, Long Island, Westchester County, large and small employers in New York City.
