Arkansas Employer Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Arkansas Employer Kit 2027, 2027 Payroll Rate Change, 2027 Payroll Tax Setup)

Who it is for

Owners and bookkeepers running payroll for employees in Arkansas, from 2027 rate changes to unemployment tax setup.

Not the right fit if

Your employees don't work in Arkansas, or a payroll provider already handles these filings for you. Not a payroll service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Arkansas kits are built only from our Arkansas data files: Arkansas data files, checked November 2026 against 20 official pages, among them US Department of Labor: Significant Provisions of State Unemployment Insurance Laws, effective January 2026; US Department of Labor: FUTA Credit Reductions (page updated September 11, 2026); US Department of Labor: 2026 State Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund Solvency Report (February 2026); IRS: FUTA credit reduction (page last reviewed September 8, 2026); Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration: Form AR4EC; Official page; Arkansas Department of Labor and Licensing: Required Postings; Arkansas Department of Labor and Licensing: Minimum Wage and Overtime, plus NCSL and Paycor (a vetted secondary source, marked in the kit) where no official page could be read.
• 2027 Payroll Rate Change Checklist and 2027 Payroll Tax Setup Checklist cover every state; the Arkansas kits carry the state rules.

What is inside

• Arkansas Employer Compliance Kit 2027. The 2027 employer rules for Arkansas in one package: SUTA wage base; 1.8% new employer rate; new hires reported in 20 days; $11.00 minimum wage.
