AB 1245 - New Employer Requirements - EDD
Assembly Bill (AB) 1245 (Chapter 222, Statutes of 2015) requires all employers to electronically file their employment tax returns, reports, and payments to the Employment Development Department (EDD) beginning January 1, 20171 .
AB 1245, authored by Assembly Member Ken Cooley and sponsored by Small Business California, will be phased in over two years to offer employers ample time to prepare. Employers with 10 or more employees will become subject January 1, 2017, and all other employers will be subject January 1, 2018. AB 1245 contains a provision for a hardship waiver for employers who are unable to file returns, reports, and payments electronically. Employers can enroll now in the EDD
