Dear Victoria,

As a reminder, effective January 1, 2008, all employers are required to notify all their employees of the Fedral Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Assembly Bill 650, Chapter 606 requires any employer who is subject to, and is required to provide unemployment insurance to employees are to notifiy all employeees that they may be eligible for the EITC.

Employers are required to provide notice with one week before or after the W-2 Form or 1099 Form is given. This new law also requires the employer to process the IRS W-5 Form for advance payments of the EITC, if requested by the employee.

Employers must provide notification to your employees by either handing it directly to the employee or mailing it to the employees last know address. Posting this information on an employee bulletin board will not satisfy the requirement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The notification shall include instructions on how to obtain any notices availible from the Interal Revenue Service for this purpose, including, but not limited the IRS Notice 797 and W-5 Form or any successor notice or form, and any notice created by you the employer.

Need help ensuring you meet the employment requirement in your state!! Call McCabe Consultants today at (818) 704 - 7838 and leave HR to the EXPERTS.

Warm Regards,

The Team at McCabe Consultants
