Form 592 B PDF Details

The Form 592-B serves as a crucial document in the landscape of California taxation, primarily catering to both residents and nonresidents who have experienced withholding on their income. At its core, it is designed to report the amount of income subject to withholding and the tax withheld as captured via Form 592, 592-PTE, or 592-F, thereby facilitating a transparent relationship between withholding agents and payees. This form not only adheres to the mandates set forth by the California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC) Sections 18662 and 18664 but also operates as an imperative tool for payees to claim credit for the withheld amounts on their California tax returns. The meticulous categories within Form 592-B, encompassing various types of income subject to withholding, underscore the complex yet vital nature of tax compliance in California. Furthermore, the provision to amend the form ensures rectification avenues for any inaccuracies, enhancing the accuracy of tax filings. With penalties established for non-compliance and the submission deadlines orchestrating the calendar of tax activities, Form 592-B embodies a critical component in the orchestration of tax responsibilities for individuals and entities navigating the tax realm in California.

2022 Instructions for Form 592-B

Resident and Nonresident Withholding Tax Statement

References in these instructions are to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as of January 1, 2015, and to the California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC).

General Information

California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC) Sections 18662 and 18664 require the withholding agent to provide a completed Form 592-B, Resident and Nonresident Withholding Tax Statement, to the payee to report the amount of payment or distribution subject to withholding and tax. The payee must file Form 592-B with their California tax return to claim the credit for the withheld amount. See General Information A Purpose, for more information.

Pass-Through Entity Annual Withholding Return - For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, a pass-through entity that has paid withholding on behalf of a nonresident owner or has been withheld upon must use Form 592-PTE, Pass-Through Entity Annual Withholding Return, to report the total withholding. For more information, get Form 592-PTE.

Backup Withholding – With certain limited exceptions, payers that are required to withhold and remit backup withholding to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are also required to withhold and remit to the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) on income sourced to California. The California backup withholding rate is 7% of the payment. For California purposes, dividends, interests, and any financial institutions release of loan funds made in the normal course of business are exempt from backup withholding. For additional information on California backup withholding, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for backup withholding.

If a payee has backup withholding, the payee must contact the FTB to provide a valid Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) before filing a tax return. The following are acceptable TINs: social security number (SSN); individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN); federal employer identification number (FEIN); California corporation number (CA Corp no.); or California Secretary of State (CA SOS) file number. Failure to provide a valid TIN will result in the denial of the backup withholding credit.

Registered Domestic Partners (RDPs) – For purposes of California income tax, references to a spouse, husband, or wife also refer to a California RDP, unless otherwise specified. When we use the initials RDP they refer to both a California registered domestic “partner” and a California registered domestic “partnership,” as applicable. For more information on RDPs, get FTB Pub. 737, Tax Information for Registered Domestic Partners.

A Purpose

Use Form 592-B to report to the payee the amount of payment or distribution subject to withholding and tax withheld as reported on Form 592, Resident and Nonresident Withholding Statement, Form 592-PTE, or Form 592-F, Foreign Partner or Member Annual Withholding Return. Complete a separate Form 592-B for each payee.

Form 592-B is provided to the payee to file with their state tax return. This form can be provided to the payee electronically.

For Privacy Notice, get FTB 1131 EN-SP.

Form 592-B  2021

For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for electronic 592-B requirements. A broker can provide Form 592-B as a composite statement. For more information, go to ftb. ca.gov and search for composite 592-B.

Do not use Form 592-B to allocate or distribute withholding to each payee, use Form 592, Form 592-PTE, or Form 592-F.

Pass-through entities withheld upon by another entity use:

Form 592-PTE to pass through the withholding to domestic nonresident partners in a partnership, members of a limited liability company (LLC), estate or trust beneficiaries, and S corporation shareholders.

Form 592-F to pass through the withholding to foreign (non-U.S.) partners or members.

B Helpful Hints

Get taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) from all payees.

Complete all applicable fields.

Complete all forms timely to avoid penalties.

C Who Must Complete

Form 592-B must be completed by the withholding agent, including any person or entity who:

Has withheld on payments to residents or nonresidents.

Has withheld backup withholding on payments to residents or nonresidents.

Was withheld upon and must pass through the withholding credit to their pass-through entity owners.

Record Keeping

The withholding agent retains the proof of withholding for a minimum of five years and must provide it to the FTB upon request.

D When To Complete

Form 592-B must be completed and provided to each payee by:

January 31st following the close of the calendar year for residents or nonresidents.

February 15th following the close of the calendar year for brokers as stated in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 6045.

Form 592-B must be provided to each foreign (non-U.S.) partner or member by:

The 15th day of the 3rd month following the close of the partnership's or LLC's taxable year.

The 15th day of the 6th month following the close of the partnership's or LLC's taxable year, if all the partners in the partnership or members in the LLC are foreign.

10-Day Notification – When making a payment of withholding tax to the IRS under IRC Section 1446, a partnership must notify all foreign partners of their allocable shares of any IRC Section 1446 tax paid to the IRS

by the partnership. The partners use this information to adjust the amount of estimated tax that they must otherwise pay to the IRS. The notification to the foreign partners must be provided within 10 days of the payment due date, or, if paid later, the date the withholding payment is made. See Treas. Reg. Section 1.1446-3(d)(1)(i) for information that must be included in the notification and for exceptions to the notification requirement. For California withholding purposes, withholding agents should make a similar notification. No particular form is required for this notification, and it is commonly done on the statement accompanying the distribution or payment. However, the withholding agent may choose to report the tax withheld to the payee on a Form 592-B.

E Amending Form 592-B

If an error is discovered after the withholding agent provides Form 592-B to the payee, then the withholding agent must follow

the amending instructions for Form 592, Form 592-PTE, or Form 592-F and follow the steps below:

Complete a new Form 592-B using the same taxable year form as originally provided to the payee.

Check the Amended box at the top left corner of the form.

Provide the amended copy of Form 592-B to the payee.

F Penalties

The withholding agent must furnish complete and correct copies of Form(s) 592-B to the payee by the due date.

If the withholding agent fails to provide complete, correct, and timely Form(s) 592-B to the payee, the penalty per Form 592-B is:

Up to $270 for each payee statement not provided by the due date.

$550 or 10% of the amount required to be reported (whichever is greater), if the failure is due to intentional disregard of the requirement.

Specific Instructions

Instructions for Withholding Agent

Year – The year at the top left corner of Form 592-B represents the calendar year in which the withholding took place.

For foreign partners or foreign members, match the year at the top left corner of Form 592-B to the year that the partnership’s or LLC’s taxable year ended. For example, if the partnership’s or LLC’s taxable year ended December 31, 2021, use the 2021 Form 592-B.

Private Mail Box (PMB) – Include the PMB in the address field. Write “PMB” first, then the box number. Example: 111 Main Street PMB 123.

Foreign Address – Follow the country's practice for entering the city, county, province, state, country, and postal code, as applicable, in the appropriate boxes. Do not abbreviate the country name.

Part I – Withholding Agent Information

Enter the withholding agent’s name, TIN, address, and telephone number.

Part II – Payee Information

Enter the payee's name, TIN, and address.

If the payee is a grantor trust, enter the individual name and SSN or ITIN of the grantor that is required to file a tax return and report the income. Do not enter the name of the trust or trustee information. (For tax purposes, grantor trusts are transparent. The individual grantor must report the income and claim the withholding on the individual’s California tax return.)

If the payee is a nongrantor trust, enter the name of the trust and the trust’s FEIN. Do not enter trustee information.

If the trust has applied for a FEIN, but it has not been received, enter "applied for" in the space for the trust’s FEIN and attach a copy of the federal application to the back of Form 592-B. After the FEIN is received, amend Form 592-B to submit the assigned FEIN.

If the payees are married/RDP, enter only the name and SSN or ITIN of the primary spouse/RDP. However, if the payees intend to file separate California tax returns, the withholding agent should split the withholding and complete a separate Form 592-B for each spouse/RDP.

Part III – Type of Income Subject to Withholding

Check the box(es) for the type of income subject to withholding.

Part IV – Tax Withheld

Line 1

Enter the total income subject to withholding.

Line 2

Enter the total resident and/or nonresident tax withheld (excluding backup withholding). The amount of tax to be withheld is computed by applying a rate of 7% on items of income subject to withholding. For foreign partners, the rate is 8.84% for corporations, 10.84% for banks and financial institutions, and 12.3% for all others.

For pass-through entities, the amount withheld is allocated to partners, members, S corporation shareholders, or beneficiaries, whether they are residents or nonresidents of California, in proportion to their ownership or beneficial interest.

Instructions for Payee

You may be assessed a penalty if:

You do not file a California tax return.

You file your tax return late.

The amount of withholding does not satisfy your tax liability.

For more information on California filing requirements, go to ftb.ca.gov/file.

How To Correct An Error

If a payee notices an error, the payee should contact the withholding agent. Only withholding agents can complete an amended Form 592-B. Upon completion, the withholding agent should provide a copy of the amended Form 592-B to the payee.

How to Claim the Withholding

Claim your withholding credit on one of the following:

Form 540, California Resident Income Tax Return

Form 540NR, California Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return

Form 541, California Fiduciary Income Tax Return

Form 100, California Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return

Form 100S, California S Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return

Form 100W, California Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return – Water’s- Edge Filers

Form 109, California Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return

Form 565, Partnership Return of Income

Form 568, Limited Liability Company Return of Income

If you have backup withholding, you must contact the FTB to provide a valid TIN before filing a tax return. The following are acceptable TINs: SSN, ITIN, FEIN, CA Corp no., or CA SOS file number. Failure to provide a valid TIN will result in the denial of the backup withholding credit. Using the information provided on this page, contact the FTB as soon as you receive this form.

Report the income as required and enter the amount from Form 592-B, Part IV, line 2 on your California tax return as withholding from Form(s) 592-B or 593, Real Estate Withholding Statement. Attach a copy of Form 592-B to your California tax return. If you received a composite statement from a broker, attach only the Form 592-B information. Keep a copy for a minimum of five years and provide it to the FTB upon request.

If you are an S corporation, partnership, or LLC, you may either pass through the entire amount to your shareholders, partners, or members or claim the withholding, to the extent of your outstanding tax liability, on your tax return.

If the withholding exceeds the amount of tax you owe on your tax return, you must pass through the excess to your shareholders, partners, or members.

If you do not have an outstanding balance on your tax return, you must pass through the entire amount to your shareholders, partners, or members. Use Form 592-PTE to pass the withholding to your domestic shareholders, partners, or members. Use Form 592-F to pass the withholding to your foreign (non-U.S.) partners or members.

If you are an estate or trust, you must pass through the withholding to your beneficiaries if the related income was distributed. Use Form 592-PTE to pass through the withholding to your beneficiaries. If you did not distribute the income, you must claim the withholding on the fiduciary return, Form 541.

The amount shown as “Total income subject to withholding” may be an estimate or may only reflect how withholding was calculated. Be sure to report your actual taxable California source income. If you are an independent contractor or receive rent, endorsement income, royalties, see your contract and/or federal Form 1099

to determine your California source income. If you are a shareholder of an S-corporation, partner in a partnership, or a member in an LLC, see your California Schedule K-1, Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., issued by that entity to determine your California source income.
