Effective May 1, 2009, the State of Arizona will require employers to provide the revised A-4 Withholding Form.  Senate Bill 1185 amended the amounts to be withheld for Arizona withholding purposes and the amounts will continue to be a percentage of the Federal Withholding.  A detailed explanation of the changes can be accessed by visiting the Arizona Department of Revenue website.

Hosted customers of Emerald Software Group’s AllegroHR Suite, will receive this update automatically.  Throughout the onboarding process, our software eliminates errors and ommissions by enforcing each state’s unique business rules.  Each state tax withholding tax form, along with the Federal W-4, are often completed incorrectly and have to be returned to the employee.  With the AllegroHR onboarding solution, the state and federal tax forms are always completed as valid forms.

The AllegroHR Suite automates the State W4 Form for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia through UOB 2.0.  For an interesting article on this topic, check out Chuck’s Blog.
