Wages and Withholding

Complete the Record of Idaho Withholding Payments before completing Form 967. You don't need to mail it to the Tax Commission. You can ind the worksheet at tax.idaho.gov

through the Forms search (choose "income tax withholding" as the tax category).

Line 1. Enter the total Idaho taxable wages shown on the W-2s.

Line 2. Enter the total Idaho tax withheld included on your W-2s (Box 17) and 1099s (Box 16).

Line 3. For all ilers except split-monthly. Enter the total of Idaho income tax withholding payments you made during the calendar year.

Line 3. For split-monthly ilers only. Enter the total of Idaho income tax withholding payments you made during the calendar year.

3a. Enter the amount of income tax withheld for the period 1/1/10 to 1/15/10. This amount was reported on your 2009 Form 967 report, line 3c.

3b. Enter current tax payments for the period of 1/16/10 to 1/15/11.

3c. Enter the tax payment amount for the period 1/1/11 to 1/15/11. (This amount will be included on next year's reconciliation form.)

3d. Add lines 3a and 3b, and subtract line 3c. This is your calendar year withholding.

Line 4. Subtract line 3 (line 3d for split-monthly ilers) from line 2. This is your remaining tax due (or overpayment).

If line 2 is larger than line 3, you have underpaid your Idaho withholding and will owe additional tax. If line 3 is larger than line 2, you have overpaid your withholding and may be entitled to a refund.

Line 5. Enter the penalty on the balance due. If line 4 is zero or a credit, enter 0.

If you ile your Form 967 late, penalty will be calculated on any unpaid withholding tax due at ive percent (5%) per

month after the due date of the return.

If you ile your Form 967 on time, but don't pay all or part of

any unpaid withholding tax due, a penalty of one-half percent

(0.5% or .005) per month will be charged until paid in full.

The minimum penalty is $10. The maximum penalty is 25% of the tax due.

Line 6. Enter the interest on the balance due. If line 4 is zero or a credit, enter 0.

Interest accrues on the unpaid tax balance from the due date of the Form 967 to the date paid. Interest rates are:

1/1/11 - 12/31/11, 4% per year; .00010959 daily 1/1/10 - 12/31/10, 5% per year; .00013699 daily 1/1/09 - 12/31/09, 5% per year; .00013699 daily

If payment of the tax is received after the due date of the Form 967, interest will be computed on the balance due at the appropriate rate. To complete the computation, multiply the tax due x the daily rate x the number of days late.

Example: Additional tax due of $250 is paid 40 days late. $250 x .00010959 (2011 rate) x 40 days

$250 x .00010959 = $0.0273975/day x 40 days = $1.10 interest
