2025 Annual Payroll Tax and Fringe Benefits Update

Big changes are coming to payroll in 2026—wage thresholds, Secure Act 2.0 updates, and the sweeping One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).

For nearly four decades, AAIM’s Payroll Tax & Fringe Benefits Update has been the trusted source for payroll and HR professionals to make sense of what’s next. Our returning facilitator, Amanda Dussold, leads this half-day session, bringing clarity to complexity, translating new legislation and reporting requirements into practical steps for your team.

You’ll walk away ready to:

  • Adjust payroll systems for 2026 thresholds and tax tables

  • Navigate OBBBA overtime and tip tax rules

  • Prepare for new Form W-2 and 941 reporting requirements

  • Stay compliant across multiple states
