Payroll regulations & official sources

Find the source behind the question. Browse federal tax publications, wage-and-hour regulations, state agency resources and selected local tax guidance. Reading and search are free, with no account required.

A research starting point. This curated library contains 142 unique official links, including state resources for all 50 states and D.C. It does not contain every federal, state or local rule. Agency directories, forms and FAQs are labeled separately from statutes and regulations.

Check the source’s year, effective dates, exceptions and current amendments before applying it. State and local obligations depend on the facts; an address, ZIP code or withholding election alone does not settle every jurisdiction question.

New entries were checked November 2, 2026 in New York (November 3 UTC). Inherited reviews retain their October 29 or October 31 dates. Automated link retrieval is not a substantive legal review. The eCFR entries display an October 30, 2026 currency date and are authoritative but unofficial.
