IRS Issues New Withholding Tables for 2018
The IRS has released updated income-tax withholding tables for 2018 that reflect changes made by the tax reform law enacted at the end of 2017. Employers should begin using the 2018 withholding tables as soon as possible but not later than Feb. 15, 2018, the IRS said. The new withholding tables are designed to work with the current Form W-4 that workers have already filed with their employers to claim withholding allowances. https://goo.gl/99KEoo #GlobalHR #HRTech
