For years the only changes payroll professionals had to worry about was normal rate changes for state unemployment each year.  But in recent years the IRS and state revenue agencies have made updates to the requirements and forms.  Form 940 and states are in a much different position financially regarding unemployment benefits than in years past.  Because several states are faced with depleted funds, changes are occurring on payroll unemployment taxes regularly.  With the change in the economy and legislation changes happening more often this has become more complicated for employers.
