Overview

US employers need a payroll process capable of withholding and reporting federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare taxes, together with applicable federal unemployment and state obligations.

Coutts Consultants coordinates us payroll & federal employment tax administration as a defined US professional-services engagement.

The first stage is to identify the relevant federal and state position and review employees, Forms W-4/I-9, wages, payroll frequency, federal withholding, FICA, FUTA, state payroll taxes and payroll returns. We then establish the correct filing, tax, licensing or professional route, prepare a tailored evidence list and coordinate the work with the appropriate authority or US specialist.

Because US entity, tax, securities, immigration, banking and licensing rules can vary materially by state and by client profile, the service is scoped around the actual business rather than presented as a one-size-fits-all package. Reserved legal, tax, immigration, securities or other regulated work is undertaken by appropriately qualified US professionals, and all approvals remain with the relevant authority or provider.
