HIRE Act Requires Individuals to Sign an affidavit

The HIRE Act requires that an individual sign an affidavit attesting to certain requirements that would make the employer eligible for the payroll tax exemption available under the law.  MBA has received several recent inquiries regarding where this affidavit can be obtained.  Please be advised that the IRS is expected to issue a model affidavit to be used for this purpose (see http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=220749,00.html).   

 

When the IRS publishes this affidavit, MBA will make it available to you.  In the meantime, please exercise caution using any affidavits located on the internet, as they have not been approved by the IRS.
