Washington’s new long-term care payroll tax is coming soon to: Important informational webinars offered

May 27, 2021

Did you know that WA passed legislation and employees will pay a new payroll tax starting on Jan. 1, 2022, to fund a long-term care (LTC) trust? It is going to be funded by W-2 wage-earning employees, including practice owners. But will you benefit from your own contributions? A webinar featuring Dr. Darby Affeldt and Chris Sitek will discuss this and much more during this timely webinar. Topics they’ll cover include:

  • The WA State Cares Fund
  • Payroll deductions begin Jan. 1, 2022
  • You can opt-out but only if you have approved LC in place. How?
  • Deadlines and details
  • How much will be deducted from income?
  • If or how it will benefit you
  • Why LTC should concern you outside of simply opting out
  • What options are in the marketplace if you wish to opt-out
  • Overall financial strategies around the topic of LTC

 

The webinar will be offered on three different dates. Choose the time that works for you. To register, click on the date.
