Your 2026 Year End Payroll, Tax, and HR Compliance Playbook
Our goal is simple: to help business owners, HR professionals, payroll administrators, and finance teams proactively identify and resolve payroll, payroll tax, and HR compliance issues before year-end.
Too often, employers assume their payroll software is managing everything correctly until they receive a tax notice, discover a filing discrepancy, or have employees reporting incorrect W-2s.
By that point, correcting errors can be costly, time-consuming, and frustrating, particularly when resolution depends on payroll software support teams managing high volumes of year-end requests.
This webinar will equip attendees with the knowledge and tools to take control of their compliance responsibilities, identify problems early, and minimize preventable corrections.
Your payroll software is a tool, not your compliance department.
Learning Objectives
Audit payroll before year-end: Identify common errors involving wages, deductions, taxable benefits, employee information, and payroll records before W-2s are generated.
Validate payroll tax compliance: Verify federal, state, and local registrations, tax account numbers, rates, deposits, and filings to prevent notices, penalties, and reconciliation issues.
Prevent unnecessary W-2cs and corrections: Understand common year-end reporting mistakes, how to reconcile payroll data, and what to review before the final payroll of 2026.
Prepare for 2027 HR compliance: Review employee classifications, wage and hour considerations, policies, documentation, workforce changes, and other HR compliance priorities.
Reduce dependency on payroll software support: Understand what employers should proactively verify, monitor, and document rather than relying solely on their software provider to identify and resolve errors.
Build a practical year-end action plan: Leave with a prioritized checklist of actions to take before December 31 and during the first payroll and reporting cycles of 2027.
