This reporting change accompanies the implementation of a new automated system for administering California’s payroll tax programs, “the most significant change in the state’s payroll tax process in the past 25 years,” EDD says.
The upgraded system includes enhanced online options for employers that the EDD predicts will mean more convenience for employers and letting them go almost completely paperless in meeting their filing and payment obligations.
Quarterly reporting and the new payroll tax system will enable EDD to identify tax overpayments sooner and send refunds out to employers more quickly, it says.
On other side of that coin, identifying tax underpayments more quickly should lead to increased revenue for the state, it says.
“Employers can now go online, quickly register and use these new services, and be confident that their information is secure,” says EDD Chief Deputy Director Pam Harris.
As part of the effort to improve services for employers, EDD says it has also launched a major upgrade of its online services. Employers can now use the newly-expanded “e-Services for Business” to manage their payroll tax accounts and responsibilities over the Internet at any time.
They can:
- Register online for an EDD account number.
- Access their account information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- File more payroll tax forms and other reports online.
- Make payroll tax deposits and other payments online, using credit cards and electronic funds transfer.
- View their payment history, liability for each period, and any balance due.
- Pay additional liability types with a credit card.
- View payroll tax correspondence from EDD.
- View their Unemployment Insurance tax rate and rate history.
