If you own a business in California please be aware of these two separate reporting requirements to EDD:
Form DE-34: All new or rehired employees must be reported to EDD within 20 days of their start-of-work date.
Form DE-542: Any business that is required to file a federal Form 1099- NEC for services received from an independent contractor who is an individual or a sole proprietorship is required to report independent contractor information to the EDD within 20 days of paying/contracting for $600 or more in services in each calendar year.
This is our annual reminder to include health insurance and long‐term care insurance amounts on W‐2’s for 2% S Corporation shareholders and their related parties. The following family members employed by the company are considered to be related parties: spouse, children and their spouses, grandchildren and their spouses and parents. The reported amount must include premiums for the employee and any dependents. Any of the shareholder’s siblings are not covered by these reporting rules. Adding the amount of the insurance to a W‐2 does not increase tax liability to the company, shareholder or the related parties. On the contrary, this is the only way to correctly receive an income tax deduction for the insurance. Attached please find additional information on this subject.
