The De 6028P form plays a critical role in the process of Personal Income Tax (PIT) adjustment following an audit by the Employment Development Department (EDD) on an employer's business records. When an audit uncovers that an employer has not properly withheld California Personal Income Tax from employees' wages, the EDD can issue an assessment for the PIT that should have been withheld. To navigate this situation, employers have the opportunity to seek relief from some or all of this PIT liability, along with related penalties and interest, through specific forms including the Claim for Adjustment or Refund of Personal Income Tax (DE 938P) and the Declaration (DE 6028P). These tools do not offer adjustments for liabilities regarding Unemployment Insurance, Employment Training Tax, or State Disability Insurance, but they provide critical methods for adjusting a PIT assessment that may include recalculating PIT based on the worker’s W-4/DE 4, using a reasonable sample for recalculating PIT, certifying that wages were reported to the Franchise Tax Board on a DE 938P, or declaring that workers were issued relevant tax documents like a Federal Form 1099. Additionally, special instructions are provided for assessments involving the current year and the last completed calendar year, with emphasis on the importance of adhering to strict time limits for filing a claim for a refund in case the assessed PIT has been paid. This introduction to the DE 6028P and its associated forms paints a comprehensive picture of the avenues available to employers seeking to adjust their PIT assessments following an audit.
