I sent out a letter just after the election describing what changes to taxes were to be expected for 2013. One specifically to my payroll, corporate and business owner clients telling them, begging with them, pleading with them to let their employees know to expect a 2% increase in their Social Security tax withholding. That those changes will mean less in their take home check all things being equal. Giving them an examples like "$1000 gross wages $20 less in take home pay" and the like.
Now we're getting bombarded with calls from clients employees irate that we "screwed up their pay" and withheld too much. And a few calls from the clients wanting us to back date the payroll to 2012. "No can do boss, it was direct deposit, we can't undo that". Next week the mid-month payroll runs get done, and we'll see how that fares.
Am I the only one?
