The Internal Revenue Service recently released an updated version of Publication 15, (Circular E) Employer’s Tax Guide. In addition to providing information on classifying employees, determining which types of payments are considered wages for federal employment tax purposes, and depositing taxes, Circular E also provides updated tables for use in calculating the amount of federal income tax to be withheld using either the percentage method or the wage bracket method. Tables for both the percentage method and the wage bracket method of calculating the amount of any Advance Earned Income Credit Payment are also provided. Vision Payroll has already incorporated the updated tables into its tax calculations for paychecks and will begin using the updated tables for all wages paid during 2009. Contact Vision Payroll if you any questions on Publication 15.
