IMMEDIATE Change to TriMet Tax Rate: Effective January 1, 2013 the TriMet rate for 2013 is .007137. This change is due to the City of Boring changing from being partially in the district to outside of the district. This change will apply to both transit payroll excise and transit self employment taxes. It is important that if you use a payroll service provider or tax preparer, be sure to advise them of the change to ensure that these taxes are correctly calculated. If you have any further questions, please contact the Oregon DOR at 503 945-8091. II. iWire Update: Effective January 1, 2013 you are now able to submit electronic files through iWire for the 2012 year. This is true for iWire Direct and uploading an EFW2 file or 1099 file.

Due to some excellent sleuthing by one of our techno-savvy employers, a glitch has been found in accessing the new W-4. By clearing out the old cookies and then proceeding to www.IRS.gov you will be able to see and print the 2013 version. Thank you.
