Have EIN but just hired first employee

[Bill Tubbs]

A client has had an EIN for several years (trucker that has to file some trucker forms -- the client takes care of all that but has me do the Sch C & personal) but has just hired their first employee. I know in Wisconsin they need to contact the state to update their Business Tax Registration (to indicate that they now have an employee), but do they need to contact the IRS at all now or just start filing the 940/941 as required?

Thanks,
BIll

no need to contact no one, just file forms 941 and State payroll tax returns, you may also need insurance for this employee like workers comp. and DBL.

Thanks

I couldn't find anything talking about notifying the IRS at all in a case like this, but wanted some confirmation.

Maybe Certain State Requirements - but IRS does not need a notice, just file the appropriate 940 and 941 or 944 forms.
