Understanding Payroll Services Denver—The Essentials
Learn the essential payroll rules that all Denver businesses must be aware of.
Tax Obligations (Federal & State Withholding, FICA, and 401(k))
Employers in the United States are responsible for withholding federal income tax, state income tax (where applicable), and FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare) from employees’ wages and remitting them to the IRS and state tax authorities. Additionally, 401(k) contributions—both employee and employer portions—must be managed accurately. Ensuring compliance with these tax obligations is crucial to avoid penalties.
Quarterly Tax Filings
Businesses must file Form 941 quarterly (due April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31) reporting federal income tax withholding and FICA taxes. Form 940 reports annual FUTA unemployment taxes by January 31. Multi-state operations require separate state quarterly filings for income tax withholding and unemployment insurance, with electronic filing mandated for most businesses.
Leave Entitlements Management
FLSA provides no federal paid leave mandate for private employers. FMLA offers up to 12 weeks unpaid leave for eligible employees. Growing state requirements include paid sick leave (California, New York, Washington) and paid family leave programs. Employers must track accruals, comply with state-specific payout requirements, and maintain proper documentation for medical certifications.
US Tax Year and IRS Compliance
Calendar year reporting requires W-2 and 1099 distribution by January 31. Maintain payroll records for minimum 3-4 years and employment tax returns for 4 years. Multi-state compliance involves managing nexus requirements, reciprocal agreements, and varying state tax obligations. Leveraging HR Automation tools helps streamline recordkeeping, reduce errors, and meet filing deadlines efficiently.
