North Dakota Issues New Withholding Tables for 2009

The North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner has published revised Withholding Tables for 2009, which are effective January 1, 2009.

Background

The agency has stated no retroactive adjustments are necessary for prior income tax withholding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I'm affected?

You may be affected if you currently withhold North Dakota income taxes from employees and make withholding tax payments in the State of North Dakota or if you currently have a valid ND Office of State Tax Commissioner Identification No.

When will these changes be available in QuickPayroll?

Intuit QuickPayroll will modify the withholding tax tables in the next Payroll Update, #20916, to be released mid-June 2009.

Do I have to adjust withholding tax calculations done prior to installing Payroll Update #20916?

You do not need to make any adjustments to withholding taxes that were calculated using the prior withholding tables. The agency has stated no retroactive adjustments are necessary for prior income tax withholding.

What do I need to do?

You will need to download and install Payroll Update #20916 as soon as it is released so the correct amount of North Dakota withholding taxes will be calculated and withheld from employee paychecks from that date forward.
