Payroll Tax Updates 2022

Payroll tax updates are added as part of the normal Total Office Manager application update.  As we receive rate and wage changes, we will include them here with the dates they were received and the version they were released in. Please remember, we do update the payroll tax license once a year.  This license is typically updated in the January release.  All US companies processing payroll through the Process Pay Group form must have a valid support plan or be on the latest tax license to access this form.
