Obtaining Agency Username and Password The agency mailed all Minnesota clients temporary usernames and passwords in 2005. In the event of misplaced usernames and passwords, the agency process is as follows: • If the caller is not the System Administrator on the client’s account, the agency advises the caller to contact

their System Administrator, and they provide the caller that individual's name. • If the caller is the System Administrator, the agency advises the caller that it is their goal to ensure employer

data is secure. For this reason, agency’s staff does not have ready access to employer passwords. The agency informs the client that they will receive a call back as soon as possible within 24 hours.

• Agents ask the caller the following information:

Name and title of the caller Phone number of the caller Caller's Social Security Number (SSN) The legal name of the business UI Employer Account Number Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) Minnesota Department of Revenue Taxpayer ID Number (RTID) If caller is a corporation, they request names of corporate officers Business address

• If information can be verified, the agency will contact the caller with the password either by phone (Minnesota

will listen to how caller answers the phone when calling back to help verify identity), or if the caller prefers, via e-mail if there is a valid e-mail address on the employer's account.

• If in doubt, the agency mails the employer password to the address of record (See page 2 for Role Assignment Process)

301-EF Application Instructions

Employers must be registered with the Tax Commissioner’s Offi ce for state income tax withholding before registering to fi le electronic income tax withholding returns. North Dakota offers the following two methods to fi le income tax withholding returns electronically:

• Withholding WebFile. The withholding return is submitted over the Internet and payment is made by an ACH Debit transaction. An ACH Debit is an electronic transfer of funds where you authorize the State of North Dakota to withdraw payment for the return from your bank account. You provide your bank account information during registration. Registration for WebFile must be completed on-line. A paper application will not be accepted for WebFile.

• Withholding E-File. The employer initiates an ACH Credit payment to the State of North Dakota. The

ACH Credit is also the return. An ACH Credit is an electronic transfer of funds where you instruct your bank to transfer payment from your account to the state’s bank account. The ACH Credit contains the return information and, therefore, also serves as the return. Registration may be completed on-line or by submitting this paper application. On-line registration for E-File also provides access to on-line features that allow authorized users to view previously fi led returns, upload W-2 information, change fi ling methods, and add or delete users’ access. Registration using this paper application does not provide access to on-line features.

To register on-line, go to www.nd/tax. Click on Income Tax Withholding on the left side of the page, then on Electronic Filing. The Getting Started link provides detailed instructions for on-line registration.

Prenote Requirement for ACH Credits

Before your E-File application is approved, a “zero” dollar prenote ACH Credit transaction must be initiated to verify the bank information and fi le formats are correct. The Tax Commissioner’s Offi ce will contact you with the Tax Payment Banking (TXP) addenda record layout required for Income Tax Withholding returns. The record layout is also available in the Withholding ACH Credit E-File Handbook located on our website.

Helpful Hints for E-File Registration

√ Please complete all questions to avoid any delay in your registration. √ The E-File contact person should be the person who will actually be involved in the initiating and making

the electronic fi ling of your state income tax withholding. Be sure to include a phone number. √ If you are a Payroll Service completing the application on behalf of a taxpayer, be sure to have the

taxpayer sign and date the application at the bottom of section 3 of the application. Exception: If a properly completed Form 500 Authorization to Disclose Tax Information and Designation of Representative has been submitted by the Taxpayer, no signature is required.

ABOUT ITINS

What is an ITIN? An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service. It is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and has a 7 or 8 in the fourth digit, example 9XX-7X-XXXX. IRS issues ITINs to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA). ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident and nonresident aliens may have U.S. tax return and payment responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code. Individuals must have a filing requirement and file a valid federal income tax return to receive an ITIN, unless they meet an exception.

What is an ITIN used for? ITINs are for federal tax reporting only, and are not intended to serve any other purpose. An ITIN does not authorize work in the U.S. or provide eligibility for Social Security benefits or the Earned Income Tax Credit. ITINs are not valid identification outside the tax system. IRS issues ITINs to help individuals comply with the U.S. tax laws, and to provide a means to efficiently process and account for tax returns and payments for those not eligible for Social Security Numbers.

Who needs an ITIN? IRS issues ITINs to foreign nationals and others who have federal tax reporting or filing requirements and do not qualify for SSNs. A non-resident alien individual not eligible for an SSN, who is required to file a U.S. tax return only to claim a refund of tax under the provisions of a U.S. tax treaty, needs an ITIN. Examples of individuals who need ITINs include:

• Non-resident alien filing a U.S. tax return and not eligible for an SSN • U.S. resident alien (based on days present in the United States) filing a U.S. tax return and not

eligible for an SSN • Dependent or spouse of a U.S. citizen/resident alien • Dependent or spouse of a non-resident alien visa holder

How do I know if I need an ITIN? If you do not have an SSN and are not eligible to obtain an SSN, but you have a requirement to furnish a federal tax identification number or file a federal income tax return, you must apply for an ITIN. By law, an alien individual cannot have both an ITIN and an SSN. IRS processes returns showing SSNs or ITINs in the blanks where tax forms request SSNs. IRS no longer accepts, and will not process, forms showing "SSA205c," "applied for," "NRA," blanks, etc.

Are ITINs valid for identification? No. ITINs are not valid identification outside the tax system. Since ITINs are strictly for tax processing, IRS does not apply the same standards as agencies that provide genuine identity certification. ITIN applicants are not required to apply in person, and IRS does not further validate the authenticity of identity documents. ITINs do not prove identity outside the tax system, and should not be offered or accepted as identification for non-tax purposes.

Are ITINs valid for work purposes? No. ITINs are for federal income tax purposes only.

Social Security Number Verification Verify Social Security Numbers Over the Internet

Overview

There are two Internet verification options you can use to verify that your employee names and Social Security numbers match Social Security's records. You can:

• Verify up to 10 names and SSNs (per screen) online and receive immediate results. This option is ideal to verify new hires.

OR

• Upload batch files of up to 250,000 names and SSNs and usually receive results the next government business day. This option is ideal if you want to verify an entire payroll database or if you hire a large number of workers at a time.

While the service is available to all employers and third-party submitters, it can only be used to verify current or former employees and only for wage reporting (Form W-2) purposes.

Why Should I Verify Names and SSNs

• Correct names and SSNs on W-2 wage reports are the keys to the successful processing of your annual wage report submission.

• It's faster & easier to use than submitting your requests on magnetic media or paper listings or even using Social Security's telephone verification option.

• Results in more accurate wage reports. • Saves you processing costs and reduces the number of W-2Cs. • Allows Social Security to properly credit your employees' earnings record, which

will be important information in determining their Social Security benefits in the future.

Step by Step

1. Register to Use SSNVS - www.socialsecurity.gov/bso/bsowelcome.htm Registration is required. Third-party preparers need only register once in their own firm's name. Complete the registration form and select your own password. Social Security will verify your identity against our records and display a PIN. Make note of the PIN. More Registration Info

2. Request Access and Activation Code - Return to www.socialsecurity.gov/bso/bsowelcome.htm login in with your PIN and password and select "Request Access and Activation Code."

Page 103: Tips & Tools for Tax Filing Success

3. Activation Code is Mailed to Your Employer - Your employer should give you the activation code which allows you access to SSNVS.

4. Login to Use the Service - Go to www.socialsecurity.gov/bso/bsowelcome.htm, select Login, input your PIN, Password and your activation code and you will be able to use the service.

How Employers Can Verify Social Security Numbers Online The Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS) allows employers to match their record of employee names and Social Security numbers with Social Security records before preparing and submitting Forms W-2. Making sure names and Social Security numbers on the W-2 match our records is important because unmatched records can result in additional processing costs for you and uncredited earnings for your employees. Uncredited earnings can affect future eligibility to (and amounts paid under) Social Security's retirement, disability and survivors program.

When you can use SSNVS

Employers can verify the names and Social Security numbers of employees only after they are hired. It cannot be used as part of the pre-hiring process.

How to register to use SSNVS

1. Employers must register for a PIN and password at Business Services Online at www.socialsecurity.gov/bso/bsowelcome.htm.

2. Social Security will send an activation code in the mail. 3. Use the activation code, PIN and password at the Business Services Online site to

begin using SSNVS.

NOTE: For more detailed instructions on registering and/or using SSNVS, get a copy of the SSNVS handbook at www.socialsecurity.gov/employer/ssnv.htm.

How to use SSNVS

1. Go to the Business Services Online website and log in. 2. Choose Social Security Number Verification Service. 3. You have two options:

• Direct keying of up to 10 names/Social Security numbers onto Social Security's website with immediate results; and

Page 104: Tips & Tools for Tax Filing Success

• Upload a file with up to 250,000 names/Social Security numbers with next business day results

4. You will receive a response of all names/Social Security numbers that do not match Social Security's records.

Restrictions on using SSNVS

• Do not use SSNVS before hiring an employee.

--You may not verify someone's name and Social Security number until after you have offered him or her a job.

--Social Security will review usage of SSNVS to ensure that employers are using it for the proper purposes.

• Do not use SSNVS to take punitive action against an employee whose name and Social Security number do not match Social Security's records.

--A mismatch does not imply that you or the employee intentionally provided incorrect information.

--A mismatch does not make any statement about an employee's immigration status and is not a basis, in and of itself, for taking any adverse action against an employee. Doing so could subject you to anti-discrimination or labor law sanctions.

What to do if a name and Social Security number do not match

• Make sure you did not make a typographical error. • You may ask to see the employee's Social Security card to ensure you have the

correct information. • If you cannot resolve the error, then ask your employee to contact the local Social

Security office. • You should have a consistent company policy and treat all employees the same.

Birmingham is a city located in Jefferson County, Alabama. Both Birmingham and Jefferson County require local taxes to be withheld; therefore, the employee must be coded with both local tax codes. If an employer is located in Birmingham, the Jefferson County tax must be withheld in addition to the Birmingham city tax.

Special Condition - Birmingham Non-residents

Birmingham non-residents are only required to pay city tax for the percentage of time that they work in the city. In this case, the non-resident percentage must be applied.

Colorado Local Taxes City taxes in Colorado are worked-in taxes that are both employer and employee paid. This tax is called a "head tax" where a flat dollar amount is assessed for each employee. Currently, only the following cities assess these taxes-Aurora, Denver, Glendale, Greenwood Village, and Sheridan. The tax becomes due after a certain dollar amount is earned in a given month.

Delaware Local Taxes City taxes in Delaware are both worked-in and lived-in taxes. Currently, Wilmington is the only city that imposes this local tax. Employees who work in Wilmington are subject to this tax and residents of Wilmington are also subject to this tax. The following chart provides some helpful guidelines for locating the applicable city tax code: IF . . . THEN . . .

the employer is located in Wilmington,

the employer is required to withhold the city

the employer is located anywhere in Delaware and the employee lives in Wilmington,

the employer is required to withhold the city tax for Wilmington.

the employer is located outside of Delaware and the employee lives in Wilmington,

the employer can apply for an ID in Wilmington and withhold the tax as a courtesy to the employee or choose not to withhold the lived-in tax and make the employee responsible for the tax.

Indiana Local Taxes City taxes in Indiana are county taxes for the lived-in county. Employers are required to withhold taxes for the county in which the employee lives. If the lived-in county does not have a tax, then the employee is responsible for the worked-in non-resident tax rate.

Kentucky Local Taxes Kentucky is primarily a worked-in tax type, and the taxes are often referred to as license fees. The employer is mandated to withhold the worked-in tax, but may opt to withhold the lived-in tax as a courtesy to employees. In addition, many special conditions exist, and some counties and school districts also impose taxes. Where both the county and the school district imposes a tax, both rates must be set up for each employee to provide for proper withholding. As a general rule of thumb, always verify whether or not the county the employer is located in also imposes a tax. If so, employees must be set up for both jurisdictions. Special conditions must be considered for Louisville and Jefferson County as follows: IF . . . THEN . . .

the employee works in Jefferson County and lives in Louisville,

the employer must withhold at the Jefferson County resident rate.

the employee works in Jefferson County and lives outside of Jefferson County,

the employer must withhold at the Jefferson County non-resident rate.

the employee works in Louisville and lives in Jefferson County,

the employer must withhold at the Louisville resident rate.

the employee works in Louisville and lives outside of Jefferson County,

the employer must withhold at the Louisville non-resident rate.

If the employee works part-time in Louisville and part-time in Jefferson Country and lives outside of Jefferson County,

the employer must withhold both the Louisville and Jefferson County taxes at the non-resident rates.

Special conditions must be considered for Boone County as follows: Boone County Employers are required to

withhold taxes from any employee who works in this county.

Florence Florence is a city within Boone County, and employers are required to withhold taxes for any employee who works in this city.

Page 111: Tips & Tools for Tax Filing Success

Walton & Verona Walton and Verona are cities within Boone County. Employees who work or live in these cities are exempt from the school tax rate if it is being paid to the Independent School District. Taxes for these employees should be withheld at the Boone County non-resident rate.

Erlanger In general, most of Erlanger is located in Kenton County; however, two streets and portions of two other streets are located in Boone County. As such, the Boone County code should be established for these addresses. (Also be aware that unincorporated areas of Kenton County are only subject to the county tax.)

Maryland Local Taxes Maryland local taxes are paid together with state withholding. For a list of local jurisdictions please refer to the following link: http://business.marylandtaxes.com/default.asp Michigan Local Taxes The Michigan locals are both worked-in and lived-in taxes. However, it is only mandatory for employers to deduct and remit the taxes for the locality where the wages are earned. If an employee lives in an area other than the worked-in location, and the lived-in area imposes a local tax, the employer has the option to do one of two things: apply for an ID number in that lived-in area and ensure that the tax is deducted on behalf of the employee or choose not to deduct the tax, making the employee responsible for remitting the tax.

If the employer elects to withhold both the worked-in and the lived-in tax, the following table describes the conditions requiring special handling.

Page 112: Tips & Tools for Tax Filing Success

IF . . . THEN . . .

the employee lives and works in different jurisdictions where the rates are equal,

half of the full rate for each jurisdiction is applied.

the employee works and lives in different cities and the rates are not equal,

the worked-in jurisdiction is applied at half of the full rate and the lived-in rate is applied as follows: Where the worked-in rate is greater, apply half of the full rate. Where the lived-in rate is greater, again, first apply the worked-in rate that is equal to half of the full rate, and then apply the lived-in rate that brings the sum of both rates up to the total of the full lived-in rate.

Missouri Local Taxes Missouri is a worked-in and lived-in local tax state. It is mandatory for employers to withhold the worked-in taxes for wages, but optional to withhold lived-in taxes for employees. At this time, only two cities impose local income taxes in Missouri; they are St. Louis and Kansas City. The following charts provide some helpful guidelines for locating the applicable city tax code: IF . . . THEN . . .

the employee works in St. Louis or Kansas City but lives outside of the city,

the employer must withhold the tax for the worked-in jurisdiction.

the employee lives in St. Louis or Kansas City but employer is located outside of these cities,

the employer is not required to withhold the lived-in taxes for these employees.

Special Condition - St. Louis

If an employer has a business in the city of St. Louis, St. Louis requires the employer to remit a Payroll Expense Tax. This tax is payable by the employer, for operating the

Page 113: Tips & Tools for Tax Filing Success

business in the St. Louis area. New Jersey Local Taxes The New Jersey local tax is strictly employer-paid and is based on wages earned within the city of Newark, New Jersey only. New York Local Taxes Currently, New York City and Yonkers are the only cities in New York that impose local taxes. This also applies to any of the five boroughs of New York City which are Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and The Bronx. City taxes in New York are lived-in taxes and the taxes in Yonkers are both lived-in and worked-in. The following chart provides some helpful guidelines for locating the applicable city tax code: IF . . . THEN . . .

the employee lives in New York City and works outside of New York City,

the employer must withhold the New York City resident tax.

the employee lives outside of New York City and works in New York City,

no tax withholding is required.

the employee lives in Yonkers and works in New York City,

the employer must withhold the Yonkers resident tax.

the employee lives in New York City and works in Yonkers,

the employer must withhold the New York City resident tax and the Yonkers non-resident tax.

Ohio Local Taxes There are over 500 cities/villages in Ohio that collect local taxes. A municipal income tax may be levied on residents of the municipality, and non-residents working within the municipality. Ohio state law requires that the municipal tax is

Page 114: Tips & Tools for Tax Filing Success

set at a flat rate, which is determined locally, and this tax is remitted to a designated local tax collector or collecting agency. In addition to the municipal tax levies by the cities/villages in Ohio, school districts in the state may also impose an income tax. School district taxes are determined based on where an employee lives, regardless of whether or not the employee earned wages within a jurisdiction of the school district. Employers are required to withhold the school district tax from all employees residing in an Ohio school district that imposes an income tax. The school district tax rates currently range from 0.5 percent to 2.0 percent and are remitted to the state of Ohio. The following charts provide some helpful guidelines for locating the applicable city tax code: IF . . . THEN . . .

an employer elects to withhold resident taxes and a full credit is allowed, and the lived-in rate is less than or equal to what the employee has already paid to the worked-in jurisdiction,

the employee owes no taxes to their lived-in jurisdiction and no taxes are withheld for the resident locality.

an employer elects to withhold resident taxes and a full credit is allowed, and the lived-in rate is greater than the worked-in rate,

the employee owes the difference to the resident locality and the employer should withhold at that rate.

an employer elects to withhold resident taxes and a partial credit is allowed by the lived-in jurisdiction,

the calculation for this credit varies from agency to agency; therefore, it is best to refer to the agency guidelines when determining the appropriate rate.

Special Condition - School District Tax Exception

While employers are under no obligation to withhold lived-in taxes, the school district tax exception applies regardless of the employer's location. Simply stated, an Ohio employer must withhold applicable Ohio School District taxes for Ohio residents.

Oregon Local Taxes Oregon is primarily a worked-in local tax state. These taxes are strictly employer-paid and only six jurisdictions currently exist-City of Canby, City of Sandy, Lane

Mass Transit District Excise, South Clackamas Transit, Tri-Met Transit Excise, and Wilsonville Transit. The tax is based on a specified rate on the wages earned within the jurisdiction. Lane and Tri-Met taxes are actually filed and remitted with the state income taxes, while the others are filed on separate returns. The only exception is Multnomah County tax. The Multnomah County personal income tax was created when voters approved Ballot Measure 26-48 May '04. It is a three-year measure that raises local funds to prevent further cuts to Multnomah County's public schools and programs, this tax is employee-paid. Pennsylvania Local Taxes The state of Pennsylvania requires employee taxes to be withheld by employers and remitted to the appropriate local jurisdictions. Some pertinent information regarding the withholding and remittance of local taxes for PA is listed below. There are two different types of taxes that a local jurisdiction may require: an Earned Income Tax (EIT); and an Occupational Privilege Tax or Emergency Municipal Services Tax (OPT or EMST). Both the Municipality and the Area School District (ASD) may require an EIT and EMST. So it is possible that an employee may be liable for up to four different local taxes. Municipal EIT Municipal EMST Area School District EIT Area School District EMST The local taxing jurisdictions for PA are determined by where the employee works, not where the employee lives. (This would include home office workers, as these employees live and work in the same location.) Employers have to withhold the tax if the business is located in a jurisdiction that imposes the tax. The two exceptions to this rule are Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. The Pittsburgh School District EIT may require withholding of its tax from any nonresident employer who is believed to employ any resident of the district. PA employers are also required to withhold the Philadelphia wage tax from all employees who are Philadelphia residents regardless of where they work. Earned Income Taxes The Earned Income Tax (EIT) is assessed by a jurisdiction on employees working within a particular municipality. The EIT is levied as a percent of earned income. All employers with work sites within a municipality that imposes an EIT must withhold the tax from their employees at that site if it is listed in the Earned Income Tax Register of the Department of Community and Economic Development. If the ordinance or resolution is not listed in the Register, employers are not required to withhold taxes levied under the Local Tax Enabling Act from employee wages.

A municipality may impose an EIT on just residents or both residents and non-residents of the taxing jurisdiction. A resident is a taxpayer domiciled within the taxing district. If an ordinance contains a provision imposing the earned income tax on nonresidents, the employer is required to withhold from all employees regardless of their place of residence and remit the money to the tax officer. School District Taxes School Districts may impose their own earned income tax and emergency municipal services tax. This may be in addition to the taxes assessed by the municipality, or their portion may be included in the payment to the municipality. Employers only need to register with the school district if they have a different collector than the municipality. OPT/EMST In addition to the Earned Income Tax, employers must also withhold the Occupational Privilege Tax (OPT) or Emergency and Municipal Services Tax (EMST) from each employee’s payroll. This tax is withheld in total one time per year. The EMST replaced the OPT beginning January 1, 2005, and the maximum amount of the EMST was raised to $52 per year. However, increasing the tax rate was optional for municipalities; not all municipalities opted to increase the tax rate from $10 to $52. Therefore, employers must determine the OPT/EMST rate from the PA Tax Register. Special Condition - Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh has established two resident rates and one non-resident rate. The first resident rate applies to almost all Pittsburgh residents. This rate includes a resident tax as well as a Pittsburgh School District tax. The second resident rate applies to Pittsburgh residents who live on one particular street. This jurisdiction is called Mt. Oliver Borough and is located within the Baldwin Whitehall School District. People who live in this small jurisdiction are only required to pay a resident tax. The non-resident rate that has been established is for those employees who live outside of Pennsylvania. This special non-resident rate has been established because it is not uncommon for residents of Ohio to work in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Exception

If an employee works in Pittsburgh and lives in a Pennsylvania city outside of Pittsburgh where the total tax rate is at 1%, the employee is not required to pay taxes to Pittsburgh. If the tax rate where the employee lives is less than 1% or there is no tax, the difference must be paid to Pittsburgh.

Special Condition - Philadelphia

Employees who work in Philadelphia are subject to this local tax as well as residents of Philadelphia. And, if an employee lives outside of Philadelphia, the employer must withhold at the non-resident rate. The only time an employer will not be responsible for this tax type is if the business is not in Philadelphia.
