Though initially $100, the rate of penalty changed thereon in New York. IRS regulations therefore are not only unique to each State, but prone to change.

Why do New York, San Francisco and DC companiesoutsourcethis function?

BecauseTime is Money. Coincidentally, penalty rates change when companies are encircled by an important decision. Management would rather divert their time to retention programs, efficient onboarding and expansion than tracking IRS regulations. And rightfully so–outsourcing is preferred both in time and money.
