Prior Meeting Summaries: Our last meeting was February 14. We had a dual presentation: Wendy Campbell from IRS speaking on "Employment Tax Update" and Regina Bachini from SSA speaking on "What's New at SSA". Wendy Campbell presented information about the tax gap as it relates to employment tax and information return reporting; the Automated Underreporting Program; the Withholding Compliance Program and lock-in letters, etc; Regina Bachini presented information on how employers can now easily file W2s electronically with SSA. We were informed of the changes to the paper W2 and the new features of the Social Security Card, as well as how the Social Security Number Verification Service can help employers provide the correct SSN on the W2. In November 07, we had a great meeting led by Pete Berard of Ernst and Young with a large turnout. He discussed a multitude of payroll compliance issues. He raised awareness on Cellular Phone use and how employers should be treating it from a tax perspective. And in September, a successful presentation on Compliance and a Washington DC update was enthusiastically received by a large turnout in the beautiful Flag room in the Massachusetts State House! Attendees learned about legislative approaches to address the aptly nicknamed PDD, Pension Deficit Disorder, among many other things.
