Supplemental wage withholding follows its own rules. Supplemental pay, such as overtime premiums, bonuses, commissions, severance pay and fringe benefits, is a key part of compensation, but it is taxed differently from regular wages.
This 90-minute payroll webinar explains why Congress created special withholding rules, how to tell supplemental payments from regular wages, and how to spot payments that are neither. You'll learn each method for computing withholding, when optional methods may and may not be used, how the mandatory flat rate works, and how Form W-4 claims and the regular pay period affect the result.
Worked examples apply the rules to specific situations, including severance, deferred compensation and other post-termination payments.
Getting supplemental pay withholding wrong can lead to failure-to-withhold penalties. Knowing when the 22% flat rate is allowed, when the 37% rate is mandatory, and what records to keep helps you stay compliant.
This session suits payroll supervisors and staff, payroll consultants and service providers, public accountants and enrolled agents, auditors, tax compliance officers, benefits administrators, and owners and managers with payroll oversight.
