Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The West Virginia kits are built only from our state data files: West Virginia data files, checked November 2026 against 21 official pages, among them WorkForce West Virginia; WorkForce West Virginia: UI Tax Information FAQ; West Virginia Legislature: copy of Form WV/IT-104; West Virginia Tax Division: withholding certificates, including Form WV/IT-104NR (Rev. 03/2023); Official page; West Virginia Division of Labor: Required Posters; West Virginia Division of Labor: Minimum Wage; U.S. Department of Labor: State Minimum Wage Laws (updated November 5, 2026), plus NCSL (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 West Virginia kits carry the state rules.
