The 2025 Tax Update is Available for EBMS
You are now able to update your tax tables in preparation for processing payroll in 2025. This update includes:
- Federal tax table updates
- Some state tax updates
- Report updates for forms W2 and 1099 (MISC, NEC & INT)
Note: We do not update State Unemployment rates since these vary per employer.
EBMS version 8.4 or newer is strongly recommended for the updates

These steps need to be repeated once for each company that you have setup in EBMS (it does not need to be on each computer).
Step 3: Close Payroll Year 2024 & Update Tax Rates
Close payroll year 2024 after the last pay date of 2024 is completed, by going to Labor>Close Payroll Year and following the prompts. If you have already closed payroll year 2024, and only need to update the tax rates, go to Labor>Utilities>Tax/Deduction Rate Update and follow the prompts. Repeat step 3 for each EBMS company you have.
*EBMS Plus clients will need to complete this step AFTER you have been notified that your EBMS Update has been successfully completed by your Plus service administrator. You will receive confirmation through an email from a member of our Client Services team.
Step 4: Verify Tax Rates
Print the Tax Rates report in EBMS to review all tax rates with your accountant.
Koble systems does not guarantee these rates and is not liable for them. All rates should be confirmed with your accountant and corrections made as needed.
