As organizations enter the first full tax season under the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act, compliance risks and reporting complexities are coming into sharper focus. While the law was promoted as a simplification measure, many HR and payroll departments are facing retroactive adjustments, new reporting mandates, and increased IRS scrutiny for 2025 filings.
This session moves beyond "theory" to the practical reality of enforcement. You will gain the tools to audit your compliance, fix payroll coding errors that are currently triggering tax discrepancies, and leverage the bill's expanded incentives for contract labor and small business growth before critical filing windows close.
What You Will Learn
• How to audit your payroll system for “Tax-Free Overtime” and “Tip Credit” calculation errors
• Critical checks to perform on 2025 payroll data to ensure W-2 accuracy
• Compliance traps to avoid when navigating new “Merit-Based” healthcare and tax code provisions
• Techniques for managing employee wage disputes arising from revised tax rules
• Strategies to reduce exposure to IRS scrutiny during 2025 filing season
Why You Should Attend
• Ensure your payroll and HR systems are aligned with OBBB requirements
• Identify and correct coding errors currently triggering tax discrepancies
• Maximize new incentives for contract labor and small business growth
• Protect your organization from costly penalties and audit exposure
• Gain practical guidance you can implement immediately
