CALIFORNIA - For the Employee: On November 6, 2012, California voters approved Proposition 30, which provides for a temporary 7-year increase in the personal income tax rates effective January 1, 2012. Although the retroactive provision does affect your 2012 personal income tax filings (your annual 1040), it does not affect personal income tax withholdings for calendar year 2012. The 2012 withholding tables will not be revised. As a result, you may owe additional California state income taxes at the time you file your 2012 Form 1040. The tax increase will affect high-income tax brackets for taxpayers with household taxable incomes exceeding $250,000. You should consult your tax advisor to determine whether additional California withholdings are appropriate as you have the option of adjusting your withholding rates on your remaining 2012 paychecks. If it is determined that additional taxes need to be withheld for 2012, Form DE 4 is available at the ADP Portal / Home/ Resources / Payroll Forms/ DE 4. Line 2 of the form can be used to add an additional amount to withhold each pay period.
If you do elect to withhold an additional amount on your 2012 Form DE 4, remember to revisit the form for your 2013 withholdings, as the 2013 withholding tables will be revised for the new tax brackets and automatically applied to your first paycheck in 2013. Also remember, this is an increase in California taxes only. If you use a Form W-4, both California and Federal taxes will be affected. For the Employer: Employers will not be required to make “catch up” income tax withholdings associated with year-to-date wages already paid to affected employees. The California Employment Development Department (EDD) should be issuing guidance very soon to explain employer obligations for 2012, and to issue revised withholding tables for 2013. |
