The Payroll Factory, Inc. March 2021 Newsletter
It is amazing how quickly the year is flying by as we head
into March. The newsletter will focus on
two items involving City of Philadelphia wage tax this month.
1.
Today March 1st is the day the
Philadelphia Employer Wage Tax reconciliation is due.
2.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the City of
Philadelphia is allowing businesses one time to file a group wage tax claim
(2020) for their non-resident employees and providing additional guidance and
forms related to wage tax refunds. The
business needs to provide W-4 information along with highest gross compensation
on the W-2, amount of wage tax withheld and calculated refund amount for 2020. The city has on their website the form
specifically for businesses to utilize.
The refund check will go directly to the employee based on the mailing
address provided by the business.
3.
For those non-resident employees whose employers
do not file a group wage tax refund claim, there is an online Non-Resident
Covid EZ Refund Petition. The employee
to file this form must have been required to work from home due to the Covid-19
pandemic. A letter from the employer
must also be included for the dates working outside of the city.
As always “whatever it takes.” I look forward to working
with you, your associates and above all your clients. Thank you very much and have a successful tax
season.
Sincerely,
Steve Sabel
