\ ONLY WAGES
I' PAID IN 1944
f TO BE SHOWN
The revised rates for with
,h|olding tax from wages, pro
vided by the Individual Income
Tax Act of 1944. apply to all
. wages paid by an employe ro
his emploees on and after Jan
uary 1, 1945, regardless of when
the wages were earned, accord
ing to Clark Squire, collector of
internal revenue.
Under the new law, any wages
earned in December, but not paid
to the employe until January 1
or later, are subject to the new
withholding rates.
On the average, about the
same amount of tax will be with
held under the new rates as was
I withheld under the old rates.
However, since the rates were
| revised to adjust each employee’s
withholding more closely to his
annual income tax, in individual
cases the withholding may be ei
ther more or *ess than before.
The collector further explain
ed that the Withholding Receipt,
Form W-2 (Rev.), for 1944 to be
given by employers to all em
ployees by January 31, 1945,
must show all wages actually
paid during 1944, together with
the amount of income tax with
held during the calendar year.
If any wages earned in De
cember are not paid to the em
ployee until January 1, or later,.
such wages must not be included
on the 1944 withholding receipt,
he said. Inasmuch as practically
all wage earners who may use
these receipts as their 1944 re
turns fhe returns on the basis of
income received during the year
inclusion in the receipt of any
wages not actually paid in lSJff
would result in incorrect returns.
