Form Wt 4A PDF Details

Navigating through the complexities of tax paperwork can feel like a marathon for many employees, but understanding the essentials of specific forms like the Form WT-4A, the Worksheet for Employee Withholding Agreement for 2012, can significantly streamline this process. This form serves as a critical tool for employees in Wisconsin who wish to adjust the amount of state income tax withheld from their wages. It's particularly useful for those who estimate that the standard withholding will exceed their actual tax liability. The WT-4A requires employees to provide detailed estimates, including their expected Wisconsin income, standard deductions, and exemptions, in order to calculate their estimated taxable income and, subsequently, their estimated tax for the year. Moreover, the form accounts for any credits and pre-payments that could affect one's net tax liability. With options for single filers, married couples (whether filing jointly or separately), and heads of households, this form covers a broad spectrum of taxpayers. It also outlines the steps for those with multiple employers to ensure that their combined withholding aligns with their estimated tax liability. Importantly, the WT-4A includes provisions for amending the agreement should an individual's financial situation change and stresses the necessity of filing the form with both one's employer and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue—highlighting potential penalties for non-compliance or erroneous submissions. With tax laws ever-evolving, grasping the specifics of forms like WT-4A is invaluable for employees aiming to optimize their withholdings and avoid year-end tax surprises.

INSTRUCTIONS

Who may use this form for 2012

Form WT-4A may be iled by an employee who determines that the amount

withheld from his or her wages will be more than the employee's estimated net tax liability for 2012. Form WT-4A is an agreement between the employee

and employer that a lesser amount will be withheld from the employee's wages than is provided for in the Wisconsin income tax withholding tables.

Before iling Form WT-4A, you should irst determine if your withholding can be reduced a suficient amount by claiming the maximum number of exemptions allowed on Form WT-4, “Employee's Wisconsin Withholding Exemption Certiicate” (or on federal Form W-4, “Employee's Withholding Allowance Certiicate”) which you completed when you started employment

with your employer. If you are not claiming the maximum number of

exemptions allowed, you may decrease your withholding by iling a new

Form WT-4 (or federal Form W-4) with your employer and claiming an increased number of exemptions. If you are claiming the maximum number

of exemptions allowed and your withholding is still more than your estimated net tax liability for 2012, you should ile Form WT-4A.

Note: If you incurred no Wisconsin income tax liability for 2011 and anticipate

no liability for 2012, you may claim complete exemption from Wisconsin income tax withholding on Form WT-4.

More than one employer

If you are employed by more than one employer, you may ile an Employee Withholding Agreement (Form WT-4A) with each employer, provided that

the total amount withheld by all employers approximates your anticipated income tax liability for 2012.

How to amend your agreement

or decrease in your 2012 estimated tax liability, you should fill out a new

Form WT-4A. Write the word “AMENDED” at the top of the new form. File one copy of the amended Form WT-4A with your employer and mail one copy to

the Department of Revenue within 10 days after it is filed with your employer.

Revocation and penalties

If the department determines that the amount to be withheld per the Employee

Withholding Agreement, Form WT-4A, is insufficient, the department may void

the agreement by notification to the employer and employee.

If an employee enters into an agreement with the intent to defeat or evade the proper withholding of tax, the employee will be subject to a penalty equal to the difference between the amount required to be withheld and the amount

actually withheld for the period that the agreement was in effect.Any employee who willfully supplies an employer with false or fraudulent information regarding an Employee Withholding Agreement with the intent to defeat or evade the proper withholding of tax may be imprisoned not more than 6 months, or fined not more than $500 plus the cost of prosecution, or both.

Completing the worksheet for the Employee Withholding Agreement

Line 2. Refer to the Wisconsin income reported on line 13 of Form 1, line 12 of Form 1A, line 1 of Form WI-Z or line 32 of Form 1NPR of your Wisconsin

income tax return.Your 2012 Wisconsin estimated income should be computed in the same manner as you computed your 2011 Wisconsin income, taking into account any changes you expect to occur in 2012.

Line 3. Your exemptions are $700 for yourself, $700 for your spouse if filing a joint return, and $700 for each dependent. Add $250 to the total if you are

65 years of age or over and, add $250 if your spouse is 65 years of age or

over. (Exception: If you are claimed as a dependent on someone else's return, you do not qualify for an exemption.) Nonresidents and part-year residents prorate the standard deduction as follows: (1) Figure your standard deduction using your federal adjusted gross income instead of your Wisconsin income, and (2) prorate using the ratio of Wisconsin income to federal adjusted gross

income. Exemptions must also be prorated using the same ratio.

Line 6. Refer to a 2011 Wisconsin Form 1, Form 1A, Form WI-Z, or Form 1NPR.
