This video will discuss the process to obtain the necessary business accounts when hiring Pennsylvania-based employees for the first time. First, learn about the rates and filing requirements for federal withholding taxes (e.g., Federal Income Tax, Social Security and Medicare taxes, as well as Federal Unemployment Tax). Next, learn about applying for and filing state withholding taxes (e.g., Employer Withholding Tax, Unemployment Compensation, and Workers’ compensation, as well as New Hire Reporting). Finally, learn how to obtain the necessary local withholding taxes (e.g., Earned Income Tax and the Local Service Tax).
