Sipping Smoothly Into Compliance: ARPA/ERA Desk Reviews & No-Tax on Overtime Rules
Presented by:
Emily Brock – Director, Federal Liaison Center, GFOA
As the ARPA expenditure deadline draws near—and many COVID‑era Treasury programs reach closeout—local governments face the next big milestone in the grants lifecycle: preparing for federal audits and potential Treasury desk reviews. At the same time, the new No Tax on Overtime rules have been finalized, creating an upcoming reporting responsibility for all entities issuing 2026 W‑2s. Feeling the heat? Don’t worry—this session serves up what you really need to know. The Federal GFOA is closely engaged with Treasury and the IRS on both issues and will provide practical guidance, quick‑reference tools, and straightforward steps to help you get audit‑ready, reporting‑ready, and stress‑free. Come for the updates… stay for the tequila tasting. 🌵🥂
