As we begin the new year, we understand that some have concerns about ensuring the federal and state tax forms are updated for the new year. We are aware of the newly released form(s) and are working to update it within our Arcoro modules and will do so within the time allotted to us by the issuing authority. We appreciate your patience as we allow our development team to make the necessary updates as quickly as possible.

If you would like more information about government forms and expiration dates, you can refer to the information below.

I-9 Form

USCIS Extends Form I-9 Expiration Date (USCIS Extends Form I-9 Expiration Date | USCIS) article and excerpt from it:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services updated the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification to extend the expiration date to 05/31/2027. Employers must use the Form I-9 with the edition date of 08/1/23, which may have an expiration date of either 07/31/2026 or 05/31/2027. Either form may be used until its respective expiration date. Downloads available on the Form I-9 download page will only include the new 05/31/2027 expiration date. Employers are encouraged to update their electronic Forms I-9 systems to use the 05/31/2027, expiration date as soon as possible and must do so no later than July 31, 2026, the expiration date on the previously-issued Form I-9.

State and Federal Tax Forms

This information is the IRS Publication 15 which can be found here: https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/additional-guidance-for-substitute-submissions-of-form-w-4

Some employers have asked how much time they have to implement a guideline specified by the IRS in Publication 15-A, Publication 15-T, or other forms, publications, or guidance when an effective date is not given. Employers are not required to set up a system to electronically receive Form W-4 from an employee. If set up, however, the electronic system must meet all the requirements and guidelines set forth in regulations and specified by the IRS in forms, publications, and other guidance. When a guideline concerning what an electronic Form W-4 system must provide the employee is specified without an effective date, it is effective immediately, and an employer must implement it in a reasonable amount of time. In most cases, a reasonable amount of time will not extend beyond 90 days. For example, if such a requirement is first published in IRS forms, publications, or other guidance, such as Publication 15-T, on December 1, 2022, a reasonable amount of time to implement the requirement will not normally extend beyond February of 2023.
