As an employer in Texas, it is important to understand the process of payroll tax registration. Registering for payroll taxes ensures that you are compliant with state regulations and able to properly withhold and remit taxes on behalf of your employees.
How Texas Payroll Registration Works
There
is one payroll tax setup task
you may need to complete in Texas to get your new
hire on payroll for the first time. You can follow the guide below
to help you get registered directly with the
Texas agencies or use Mosey to do it.
Texas Unemployment Insurance Setup for
LLP, LLC, Corporation
If you have employees in Texas, you must register with the Texas Workforce Commission within 10 days of your first hire's start date. After registering, you will receive your Texas Workforce Commission Tax Account Number and Unemployment Insurance tax rate. Note: A 501(c)(3) organization must register for unemployment insurance if it has four or more employees during 20 different weeks in a calendar year. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, political subdivisions, state agencies, and American Indian tribes have the choice to either pay unemployment contributions on taxable wages each quarter or elect to reimburse the Texas Workforce Commission unemployment fund for benefits paid to terminated employees.
Register Online for an Employer Tax Account with the Texas Workforce Commission
Create a Texas Workforce Commission User ID and complete the online Unemployment Tax Registration to setup a new TWC Tax Account. You can also register by mail.
Make Payment Method Election (Nonprofits Only)
Nonprofit organizations may opt to elect the reimbursable payment method for unemployment by filing a Election to Pay Reimbursements (Form C-6A) with the Texas Workforce Commission within 45 days of receiving a liability notice letter.
Configure Payroll
Provide the account number and unemployment insurance tax rate (or reimbursable status) to your payroll provider so that they can manage your payments and filings.
We’re very excited to introduce the Mosey sales tax registration beta!
Since we went GA earlier this year (can you believe it’s almost been a year??), startup founders, controllers, and finance teams have been asking us to help them with sales tax.
There are three critical parts of sales tax: registration, collection, and reporting—some providers will help with collection and/or reporting, but no sales tax provider wants to touch registration. That leaves a lot of grueling work to get your sales tax accounts set up across all 50 states (and the District of Columbia).
Layoffs can be an unfortunate part of business. When employment ends, a severance agreement can offer a smooth transition for the company and its departing employees.
A severance agreement is a legal contract signed by the employer and employee when employment ends. It outlines the terms of the separation, including severance pay, benefits continuation, like COBRA for health insurance, and any other agreed-upon terms.
Constantly changing labor laws can make it difficult for companies to remain compliant. New laws in 2024 affect everything from child labor to the use of artificial intelligence in recruiting, and these rules continue to develop across the country.
In an evolving legal landscape, maintaining your knowledge is an absolute must for HR managers, CEOs, and other important business stakeholders.
To help you prepare for what lies ahead, we’ll discuss some of the most important labor law developments in 2024. We’ll cover concerns that may affect your personnel management, from limits on non-compete agreements to requirements for bereavement leave. Finally, we’ll share how Mosey can help you stay on top of corporate compliance.
