CalSavers Employer Compliance Deadline Approaching!  

CalSavers is California’s retirement savings program designed for the millions of Californians who lack a way to save for retirement at their job. CalSavers was created by legislation passed in 2016 requiring California employers who do not offer an employer sponsored plan and have five or more employees to facilitate CalSavers – an automatic enrollment individual retirement account (IRA) with no employer fees or fiduciary liability.   California’s new mandate is phased in over three years, with deadlines based on employer size. Employers with five or more employees have until June 30, 2022, but are encouraged to register early.

The registration deadlines for employers with more than 50 employees have passed. Eligible employers, who have not yet registered, should do so as soon as possible to avoid penalties.    Learn how to get started at CalSavers.com.  

CA businesses with 5+ employees must register by 6/30 if they don’t sponsor a retirement plan. Find out more: www.calsavers.com

Does your organization fit the criteria to receive grant funding from our Cooperative Community foundation? Stop in to either store location to pick up an application.

The deadline to apply is June 30th.

Reminder to livestock exhibitors! Deadline for livestock entries is next Friday, July 1. Just get them in the mail before then, or drop them off at the Fair office.
 

 

IR-2022-124, June 9, 2022
 

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced an increase in the optional standard mileage rate for the final 6 months of 2022. Taxpayers may use the optional standard mileage rates to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business and certain other purposes.
 

For the final 6 months of 2022, the standard mileage rate for business travel will be 62.5 cents per mile, up 4 cents from the rate effective at the start of the year. The new rate for deductible medical or moving expenses (available for active-duty members of the military) will be 22 cents for the remainder of 2022, up 4 cents from the rate effective at the start of 2022. These new rates become effective July 1, 2022. The IRS provided legal guidance on the new rates in Announcement 2022-13PDF, issued today.
 

In recognition of recent gasoline price increases, the IRS made this special adjustment for the final months of 2022. The IRS normally updates the mileage rates once a year in the fall for the next calendar year. For travel from January 1 through June 30, 2022, taxpayers should use the rates set forth in Notice 2022-03PDF.

Thank you to an anonymous donor for supporting our giveaway of free ice cream to Pacific Crest Trail thru-hikers! Sounds like word spread on an app called FarOut App - Formerly Guthook, and we've never seen so many backpacks in our doorway!

This is “The Field Trip,” a few of my favorite folks this week. Their trail names:

Hermes
Drive
Unbreakable
Brody, who I named “Double Scoop”
And their fearless leader... Mrs. Frizzle.
They all had smiles to share.

Thank you for visiting The Scoop in Quincy! If you know a hiker who could use some delicious hand-scooped ice cream, send them our way
