Chapter 4 Income Tax Withholding
Prof Pizzillo
1.
Who must withhold the tax?
According to Arizona Department of Revenue, employers are to complete withholdings form A1-QRT every 3 months (4x per year). It is used to reconcile the amounts of Arizona income tax withheld and deposited with the Department of Revenue. Employers in Arizona are required to deduct state income taxes from their employees’ pay. 2.
How are covered employers and covered employees defined?
Employers with workers in Arizona are considered covered. Employees who earn pay are subject to Arizona income tax so therefore they are considered covered. 3.
Are there any reciprocal agreements into which the state has entered? If so, describe them
. Yes, Arizona has reciprocal agreements with numerous other states, including California, Indiana,
Oregon, and Virginia. These agreements enable workers who work in Arizona but reside in one of these states to request exemption from Arizona income tax withholding. 4.
How is the withholding rate determined?
The withholding rate is calculated using the employee’s gross pay and the Arizona department of Revenue’s withholding tables.
5.
What payments are subject to withholding?
Generally, all earnings and compensation provided to workers for services rendered in Arizona are subject to withholding. 6.
What payments are not subject to withholding?
Some payments, such as reimbursements for business expenditures and some fringe perks, may not be withheld. Certain forms of income, such as retirement income, military disability income, may be exempt from withholding. 7.
Are there any employee withholding exemptions?
Yes, employees can request withholding exemptions by submitting Form A-4 to their employer. Employees can use this form to establish their withholding allowance and any extra amounts they wish to withhold. 8.
What methods of withholding are permitted?
Employers can withhold taxes using the percentage or wage bracket methods specified by the Arizona Department of Revenue.
9.
Describe each of the returns required by the state.
Employers must file Form A1-WP, Arizona Withholding Payment Form, to record the total amount of state income tax withheld from employee’s salaries each quarter.
10.
What kinds of information must be retained by employers in their withholding tax records?
Employers must keep records of their employee’s names, wages received, social security number, and state income taxes withheld for at least four years. 11.
What penalties are imposed for failure to comply with the withholding law?
Noncompliance with Arizona withholding requirements can result in interest on overdue taxes as well as civil fines.
12.
Are any employers required to deposit their withheld income taxes through electronic funds transfer (EFT)? If so, what requirements does the state impose?
Yes, employers that withhold more than a particular amount of income tax throughout a calendar year must emit payments electronically via the Arizona Department of Revenue’s Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) system. The threshold amount is subject to change; therefore, employers should check with the Department of Revenue for current regulations.
