Essential Forms
IRS Forms for hiring time
I-9 form: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9
Have your employee fill this out at time of hiring. You do not submit this to anyone, but you do need to keep the completed form somewhere safe. Suggestion: Take a photo of it with your phone!
W4 form: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf
Have your employee fill this out at time of hiring. Use the filing status and allowances made by the employee to complete the employee profile in the app (you can change withholdings throughout year if employee requests this). You do not submit this form to anyone, just store it safely (another photo opportunity).
