New York State recently announced several upcoming changes to their withholding tax reporting coming in March of 2025. In an effort to reduce errors and increase compliance for employer reporting of employee information, the NYS Tax Department has instituted a streamlining program for withholding tax and wage reporting for forms and web file applications. The majority of the announced upcoming changes center around Form NYS-45, the Quarterly Combined Withholding, Wage Reporting, and Unemployment Insurance Return for the state.
