- 10. HOUSEHOLD EMPLOYMENT TAXES■ SCHEDULE "H" FORM FOR EMPLOYEES IN HOME Schedule H, Household Employment Taxes, is used to report cash wages paid to a person who worked in your home, and is submitted annually with Form 1040. The schedule is used to report and pay federal income taxes withheld and to calculate FICA, Medicare and federal unemployment taxes on wages paid to household employees. The wage threshold for domestic employees remains unchanged at $1,700 per year in 2010. Social security tax is not necessary for household workers underage 18. Household employers are required to include the social security and federal employment taxes in their estimated tax payments. Who is a household employee? An employer-employee relationship exists if you control what and how work is to be done, supply the employee with tools and a place to work and have the right to discharge the employee. Some household employees, such as gardeners, are likely to be considered independent contractors because they use their own tools and decide how the work is to be done. Examples of household employees include baby-sitters, butlers, cooks, caretakers, drivers, gardeners, housekeepers, and private-duty nurses. AGRICULTURAL EMPLOYMENT TAXES According to the IRS, any plot of ground or other area used primarily for the raising of an agricultural or horticultural commodity constitutes a farm for employment tax purposes. Only cash wages paid to employees are subject to FICA and federal income tax withholding. Noncash items such as lodging, food, clothing, and transportation are not subject to FICA and federal income tax withholding. FICA and federal income tax withholding apply to cash payments if either 1) the employee is paid $150 or more for the year, or 2) the employer's total payments to all employees for agricultural labor is $2,500 or more for the year. Agricultural wages are subject to FUTA and SUTA if: 1) agricultural wages of $20,000 or more are paid in any quarter in the current or preceding calendar year, or 2) 10 or more individuals are employed in agricultural labor for some portion of a day for 20 weeks in the current or preceding calendar year. Agricultural employers who pay wages for both agricultural and nonagricultural labor must keep the wages separate. Agricultural wages and taxes due are reported on form 943; other wages and taxes due are reported on form 941. A-5

- 17. USE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS Oneway to save on payroll taxes is by using independent contractors. Independent contractors are not employees and therefore are not covered by employment tax laws. Use independent contractors when specialized skills are needed or a project is of a limited duration. However, employers should use caution when classifying individuals as independent contractors rather than employees. Employers may be held liable for all the employment taxes (and be assessed a penalty of 100% of the unpaid taxes) if they classify employees as independent contractors and there is no reasonable basis for doing so. Consult the following checklists to insure that you have a reasonable basis for determining the independent contractor status. What Factors Determine A Worker's Classification? When determining the proper classification of a worker, the IRS first looks at whether a business has the right to direct or control the means and details of the individual's work. (This is known as the common-law test.) To determine the degree of control that an employer has, the Service uses a "20-factor" test, which has grown in recent years and now actually includes 24 factors. Note: The 24 factors are listed here in order of their importance, as ranked in the IRS's training manual for employment tax auditors. Extremely Important 1. Instructions. Employees must follow instructions as to when, where, and how work is done; independent contractors do not. 2. Training. Company-provided training implies that work must be done in a particular manner. Independent contractors are not given training. 3. Profit or loss. Independent contractors realize a profit or incur a loss from their work; employees do not. Very Important 4. Form W-2's. Filing a W-2 rather than a 1099 indicates that the business and the worker believe the worker is an employee. 5. Benefits. Traditionally, only workers with employee status receive company benefits. 6. Intent. A written agreement between a business and a worker describing the worker as an independent contractor can show that the classification was intended by both parties. 7. Incorporation. A worker who is incorporated is usually classified as an independent contractor. A-12
- 18. What Factors DetermineA Worker's Classification? - continued Very Important - continued 8. Integration. If a worker's services are integrated into a business' operations, they are usually considered important to the success of that business, and the IRS will assume the worker is an employee under the direction and control of the company. 9. Personally rendered services. If services are to be performed only by the worker, that indicates the worker is an employee under the direction and control of the business. Independent contractors can substitute another person's services without the approval or knowledge of the business. 10. Assistants. Independent contractors can hire, supervise, and pay their own assistants, and are responsible for the work results. Employers hire, supervise, and pay their employees' assistants. 11. Continuing relationship. Independent contractors work by the job; a continuing work relationship indicates that the worker is an employee. Note: A continuing relationship may exist even if the recurring work is performed at irregular intervals. 12. Work sequence. Independent contractors can set their own work schedules. Employees are required to perform work in a certain order or sequence. 13. Oral or written reports. A requirement that a worker give regular reports demonstrates an employer-employee relationship. Independent contractors usually only file a report at the end of the job. 14. Payment method. Payment by the hour, week, or month points to employee status. Independent contractors are paid upon completion of the job or are paid on a straight commission basis. 15. Tools and materials. Independent contractors supply their own tools and materials. Employees usually do not. 16. Investment. Employees tend not to make significant investments in the facility where they work. Independent contractors will rent, own, or have some other significant investment in the facility where they perform services for clients. Less Important 17. Working for more than one firm. Multiple jobs can indicate an independent contractor or an employee who is moonlighting. 18. Requirement to work set hours. A predetermined schedule, rather than a deadline, indicates an employer-employee relationship. A-13
- 19. What Factors DetermineA Worker's Classification? - continued Less important - continued 19. Requirement to work full-time. This limits a person's options to work for other companies and indicates an employer-employee relationship. 20. Right of employer to discharge. Generally independent contractors can't be fired unless they fail to meet contract requirements, so this right indicates an employer-employee relationship. 21. Services available to general public. Independent contractors advertise or make their services available to the public. 22. Working on business's premises. A requirement that work be performed on site indicates that a business has control over an employee especially if the work can be done elsewhere. 23. Business and/or travel expenses. Company reimbursements paid to a worker generally indicate an employer-employee relationship. 24. Right of worker to quit. Typically, employees do not incur any liability if they quit. But independent contractors may be held liable for breach of contract if they don't complete a job. A-14
- 20. FILE REPORTS ONTIME - "AVOID PENALTIES" One type of payroll administration expense for which there is no excuse is that resulting from penalties and/or interest imposed because employment tax payments or returns - federal or state - were not made or filed in a timely manner. The penalties levied by the Internal Revenue Service can be a very significant payroll cost. Some of the commonly incurred penalties follow: Failure to file a return: 5% of the net amount of tax required to have been reported for each month or fraction of a month during which the failure continues, not to exceed 25% in the aggregate. Failure to pay tax: 0.5% on the amount due (1% in some cases) for each month during which the failure to pay continues, not to exceed 25% in the aggregate. Failure to deposit taxes: 2% of any underpayment if deposit is between 1 and 5 days late 5% of any underpayment if deposit is between 6 and 15 days late. 10% of any underpayment if deposit is more than 16 days late. 15% if the tax is not deposited by the earlier of 10 days after the date of the first delinquency notice or the day on which notice and demand for immediate payment is given. Failure to electronically deposit taxes: 10% failure to file electronically 2% late filing penalty Here's the list of the services whose time stamps qualify as a postmark for purposes of the "timely mailing and timely filing/paying" rule of IRC Sec. 7502: . Federal Express: FedEx Priority Overnight, FedEx Standard Overnight, FedEx 2Day, FedEx Intl Priority & FedEx Intl first . United Parcel Service: UPS Next Day Air, UPS Next Day Air Saver, UPS 2nd Day Air, and UPS 2nd Day Air A.M., UPS Woldwide Express Plus, & UPS Woldwide Express CAUTION: Remember, not all the services offered by the companies qualify under the IRS' list, just the services listed above. That means that a time stamp from another of the company's services will not suffice as proof of timely mailing. A-15
- 21. DIRECT DEPOSIT OFPAYROLL Direct deposit of payroll can save time and money for the employer and employee. On the employer side, direct deposit means that each employee's paycheck is deposited right into the employee's personal account, eliminating costly steps in the payroll process, including the need to stop payment on and reissue lost or stolen checks. Direct deposit means fewer check processing charges and reconcilement maintenance fees from the employer's financial institution. On the employee side, there is no chance of lost or stolen checks, no two to four day waiting period for the paycheck to clear, and employees still receive a pay receipt detailing their gross and net pay and deductions made. KEEP UP-TO-DATE ON "TAXABLE WAGES" AND "EXEMPT EMPLOYEES" Two of the most important potential tax-savings areas of which a payroll manager must be aware involve payments that may not be subject to one or more of the federal or state employment taxes and employees who may not be subject to them. Keep in mind in this regard that direct tax savings will generally result only in relation to the "social security" type employment taxes-that is, the taxes imposed under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), and the various state unemployment and disability insurance laws. This is because these are the laws that impose a tax directly on an employer, and actual tax dollars can be saved by knowing that a particular type of payment or employee is exempt from a particular tax. This is not to say that the subject of taxable wages and exempt employees is unimportant where federal and state income taxes are involved. Even though employers have no general out-of-pocket tax liability where such taxes are concerned, knowing what types of payments and employees are subject to withholding can save needless bookkeeping time and the expenses of correcting situations where tax is withheld when it should not have been, to say nothing of avoiding the penalties that may be imposed where an uninformed payroll manager fails to withhold from a payment or employee from whom tax should have been withheld. PLANNING AHEAD - RETIREMENT & SOCIAL SECURITY If you have employees who are planning to retire, now is a good time for them to contact the Social Security Administration to see which month is best for them to claim benefits. In some cases, the choice of retirement month could mean additional benefits for the employee and his or her family. Depending on the person's earnings, age, and benefit amount, it may be possible for him or her to start collecting benefits while continuing to work. If your employees want more information about social security, or want to arrange for an appointment to talk with a social security representative, the Social Security Administration advises that they should call 1-800-772-1213. The government has a web site located at "www.ssa.gov". A-16
- 22. PLANNING AHEAD -RETIREMENT & SOCIAL SECURITY- continued Individuals may apply for social security benefits online by using the website www.ssa.gov/applytoretire/, or they may apply by telephone by calling 1-800-772-1213. The SSA website, contains a Retirement Benefits Planner. The Planner and online calculators give estimates for disability and survivors benefits as well as your retirement benefit estimate. An "Earnings Limit" Calculator" assists workers in computing the effect of earnings on their social security retirement benefits. Workers who have reached full retirement age (age 65 & 10 months in 2007, age 66 in 2008) may work without their benefits being reduced because of the amount of their annual earnings. Annual earnings affect the amount of Social Security benefits only until full retirement age. After that, you can receive full benefits no matter how much you earn. Full retirement age will gradually increase to age 67, as shown below. The Social Security Administration has developed a unique educational tool to help Americans understand their social security benefits so they can undertake adequate financial planning for their future. This SSA tool is a Social Security Statement that gives workers of all ages their own personal historical data and future benefit estimates. These Statements are mailed to workers age 25 and older. The 4-page Social Security Statement provides information for retirement, disability, and survivors benefits that they could be eligible for now and in the future. PAYROLL'S ROLE. The social security earnings record provided on the Social Security Statement is based on Form W-2 information supplied by an individual's employers. Discrepancies in wage record information - such as name/SSN mismatches - preclude wages being credited to an individual's account. Such earnings will be placed in a suspense file and will not appear on the Social Security Statement. Since uncredited earnings will affect an individual's future entitlement, employees who get a Social Security Statement with earnings totals lower than they expect are going to - and should - have questions. The most likely place for an employee to turn with a question is, of course, the payroll department, so practitioners need to be prepared. AGE TO RECEIVE FULL SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS Note: Persons born on January 1 of any year should refer to the previous year. Full Retirement Year of Birth Aae 1937 or earlier 65 1938 65 and 2 months 1939 65 and 4 months 1940 65 and 6 months 1941 65 and 8 months 1942 65 and 10 months 1943-1954 66 1955 66 and 2 months 1956 66 and 4 months 1957 66 and 6 months 1958 66 and 8 months 1959 66 and 10 months 1960 and later 67 The earliest a person can start receiving Social Security retirement benefits remains age 62.

- 23. CUT LABOR COSTSBY WATCHING WAGE-HOUR EXEMPTIONS For most employers the largest single statutory source of labor costs is the Fair Labor Standards Act with its minimum wage and overtime pay requirements. Effective August 23, 2004 the Department of Labor reformed 50-year old overtime regulations and introduced new overtime rules. In many cases, however, labor costs may be cut by knowing exactly what it is the Fair Labor Standards Act requires, and what it does not require. For example, there are any number of exemptions-total or partial-from the minimum wage requirements. The Department of Labor (www.dol.gov) website provides additional information. Of utmost significance to most employers is the complete minimum wage and overtime exemption extended to so-called white collar workers-administrative, executive and professional employees. Keep in mind that federal wage-hour rules are not the only ones with which you should be concerned. States also have legislated in this area, and although the state laws may cover employees who are not covered by the federal law, the states, too, provide exemptions with which employers must be familiar. Knowledge of these will prevent payment of overtime rates when straight-time pay will suffice under the law and from paying a straight-time wage rate that is higher than that required under the law. Under the Small Business Protection Act, the federal minimum wage is currently $7.25 as of July 24, 2009. If the state's minimum wage amount is higher, it will prevail over the less-beneficial federal minimum wage. Pennsylvania's minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Maryland's minimum wage is $7.25 as of July 24, 2009. Delaware's minimum wage is $7.25 as of July 24, 2009. A-18
- 24. HANDLE GARNISHMENT PROBLEMSSMOOTHLY A busy payroll manager has never been fond of garnishment proceedings. But with the job protection offered an employee-debtor under the Consumer Credit Protection Act, the payroll manager is going to have to live with the problem. Thus, the methods by which garnishments are handled must be made as simple, efficient and economical as possible. The U.S. Department of Labor website at www.dol.gov has very useful information on this topic. TAX CREDIT FOR FICA PAID ON TIP INCOME To ease the payroll-tax burden on restaurant employers and other food and beverage businesses where employees commonly receive tips for serving food and beverages to customers, the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 expanded the general business credit to include an amount equal to an employer's FICA tax obligation (7.65%) on reported tips in excess of the amount of tips treated as wages for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Effective January 1,1997, the tip credit was expanded to include service and delivery of food and beverages for off-premises consumption. Although the federal minimum wage has been increased, the Small Business and Work Opportunity Tax Act of 2007 allows food and beverage establishments to continue to compute the amount of the tip credit based on the federal minimum wage previously in effect on January 1, 2007 ($5.15 per hour). Also, the credit can now offset the alternative minimum tax. A-19

Many employers pay their employees every week. By switching to bi-weekly payment these employers use half the amount of time spent computing and processing the payroll. Additional savings result from reducing the supplies required. OTHER WAYS TO SAVE • Check the computation of your unemployment compensation "experience rating." • Review and respond to any charges against your unemployment account. Charges are benefits paid to employees or former employees. • Maintain a stable employee group. • Use a "common paymaster" where employees are shared by two or more related companies. • Hire employees from a "Targeted" group. They may qualify the employer for certain credits.

Up to $1,000 is allowable for each new full-time job, paying at least one hundred fifty percent of the federal minimum wage, created within Pennsylvania by a company that agrees to: 1) create at least twenty-five new jobs in PA within a three-year period, or 2) increase the number of employees in PA by at least twenty percent within a three-year period, whichever is less. A new, start-up company will qualify provided they meet the other requirements. A business may apply the tax credit to 100% of the business' state corporate net income tax, capital stock and franchise tax or the capital stock and franchise tax of a shareholder of the business if the business is a Pennsylvania S corporation, gross premiums tax, gross receipts tax, bank and trust business shares tax, mutual thrift institution tax, title insurance business shares tax, personal income tax or the personal income tax of shareholders of a Pennsylvania S corporation, or any combination thereof.

Required payroll tax deposit (Line 5 + Line 6 - Line 7) $2 .654.25 Deposit Rules (Due to change 6/1/2011) An employer is either a monthly depositor, a semi-weekly depositor, or an annual depositor. This determination is made based on the aggregate amount of employment taxes reported during a "look back" period. The regulations define a look back period as the twelve-month period ending on the preceding June 30th. The determination is made by the IRS prior to the beginning of each calendar year and employers are advised if there is a change in the deposit rules they must follow. Monthly deposit - An employer is a monthly depositor if the aggregate amount of employment taxes reported for the look back period is $50,000 or less. A monthly depositor must deposit employment taxes for payments made during a calendar month into a Federal Reserve Bank or authorized financial institution by the 15th day of the following month. If the 15th day of the following month is not a banking day, taxes will be treated as timely deposited on the next following banking day. Semi-weekly deposit - An employer is a semi-weekly depositor if the aggregate amount of employment taxes reported for the look back period is more than $50,000. Under the semi-weekly deposit rule, those paying wages on Wednesday, Thursday, and/or Friday must deposit employment taxes by the next Wednesday in a Federal Reserve Bank or an authorized financial institution, while those paying wages on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and/or Tuesday are required to deposit employment taxes on the following Friday. B-1
- 31. FEDERAL TAX RETURNDEPOSITS - continued Deposit Rules - continued If any of the three weekdays following the close of a semi-weekly period is a bank holiday, employers will be given an additional banking day to make the deposit. There is a special rule for a return period, either quarterly or annual, that ends during a semi-weekly period. When it happens, an employer must complete the Federal Tax Deposit Coupon so that it designates the return period for which the deposit is made. If the return ends during a semi-weekly period that has two or more payment dates, two deposit obligations may exist. For example: if one quarterly return period ends on Thursday and a new quarterly period begins on Friday, employment taxes from payments on Wednesday and Thursday are subject to one deposit obligation, and taxes from payments on Friday are subject to a separate obligation. Two separate Federal Tax Deposit Coupons are required in this case. One-day rule - The semi-weekly or monthly deposit rules will not apply if an employer has accumulated $100,000 or more of employment taxes. These taxes must be deposited in a Federal Reserve Bank or authorized financial institution by the close of the next banking day. To determine whether the $100,000 threshold is met, (1) a monthly depositor takes into account only those employment taxes accumulated in the calendar month in which the day occurs; and (2) a semi-weekly depositor takes into account only those employment taxes accumulated in the Wednesday - Friday or Saturday - Tuesday semi-weekly period in which the day occurs. Safe harbor and de minimis rules - The deposit obligation will be satisfied if the difference between the amount of tax that should have been deposited less the amount of tax actually deposited (shortfall) does not exceed the greater of $100 or two percent of the amount required to be deposited. However, the underdeposit has to be deposited by a specified "make-up" date. The make-up date for the monthly depositors is the due date for the quarterly return. The make-up date for the semi- weekly depositors and those required to make accelerated deposits is the first Wednesday or Friday (whichever is earlier), falling on or after the 15th day of the month in which the deposit was due. Small Employers If the total amount of accumulated employment taxes for the quarter is less than $2,500 for that quarter, or the previous quarter, and the amount is fully deposited or remitted with a timely filed return for the quarter, the amount deposited or remitted will be deemed to have been timely deposited. If the total amount of accumulated employment taxes is $1,000 or less over a period of four quarters, the employer may wait and pay their total employment taxes for the year when they file Form 944, Employer's Annual Federal Tax Return. The 944 Form (and tax payment) for each calendar year is due by January 31, of the following year. B-2
- 32. FEDERAL TAX RETURNDEPOSITS - continued CREDIT CARD PAYMENT Employers filing Forms 940 and/or 941 with a balance due may pay the amount owed by credit card. Additionally, Form 941 filers can make credit card payments for up to 3 prior quarters. A convenience fee will be charged by the service provider. Payments are processed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but are not effective until the date the charge is authorized. Please note: Federal Tax Deposits cannot be paid by credit card. FORM 940 DEPOSIT RULES If your FUTA tax liability for a quarter is $500 or less, you do not have to deposit the tax. Instead, you may carry it forward and add it to the liability figured in the next quarter to see if you must make a deposit. If your FUTA tax liability for any calendar quarter is over $500 (including any FUTA tax carried forward from an earlier quarter), you must deposit the tax by electronic funds transfer (EFTPS) or in an authorized financial institution using Form 8109, Federal Tax Deposit Coupon. When to deposit. Deposit the FUTA tax by the last day of the first month that follows the end of the quarter. B-3

- 34. ELECTRONIC FEDERAL TAXPAYMENT SYSTEMS (EFTPS) The North American Free Trade Agreement includes a provision which requires many corporations to electronically deposit backup, wage, pension and nonresident alien withholding, along with various excise taxes and estimated income tax payments. - Businesses with first time aggregate federal deposits exceeding $200,000 in 2006 will be mandated to use EFTPS beginning January 1, 2008. Under these rules, a company is required to deposit electronically if its aggregate federal deposits for the second previous year exceed $200,000. Aggregate federal deposits include ALL federal business taxes (941,940, corporate estimates, & excise tax deposits). When the $200,000 threshold is met, ALL federal business taxes must be electronically deposited. If enrolled in EFTPS through a payroll service you must file a separate enrollment form to obtain a PIN number in order to electronically deposit "other" federal business taxes. Before making electronic payments, taxpayers enroll with the IRS by filing Form 9779, the EFTPS Business Enrollment Form. This enrollment process takes approximately four to six weeks. There are two payment options: 1) EFTPS - Direct (preferred method) - funds are debited from the taxpayer's bank account by the IRS. The taxpayer initiates payment by a telephone call (EFTPS- Phone), through a personal computer (EFTPS-PC Software), or by using the internet (EFTPS-OnLine), Free Windows ® - based software is available from the IRS. Payment must be initiated by 8:00 p.m. one business day prior to date due. The IRS provides a confirmation number. EFTPS allows taxpayers to "warehouse" their tax payment up to 120 days in advance of the tax due date. The payment is then automatically made on the due date. 2) EFTPS - Through Your Financial Institution - taxpayer initiates a credit transaction through their financial institution to the IRS one business day prior to date due. Cutoff time must be confirmed with the bank. Employer should check with their bank for availability, deadlines, and fees. No confirmation number is given. IRS Offers Express EFTPS Enrollment IRS offers EFTPS Express Enrollment for new businesses. Employers that receive a new EIN (Employer Identification Number) and have a federal tax obligation will automatically be pre-enrolled in the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS.) After receiving their EIN, employers will receive a separate mailing containing an EFTPS Personal Identification Number (PIN) with instructions for activating their enrollment. New employers can then activate their enrollment by calling a toll-free number, entering their banking information, and completing an authorization for EFTPS to transfer funds from their account to Treasury's account for tax payments per their instructions.

- 39. PENNSYLVANIA WITHHOLDING FILINGREQUIREMENTS - continued INTEREST If any amount of tax required to be withheld is not reported and paid in full on or before the due date, simple interest will be charged daily from the date the tax is due and payable to date of payment. The rate of interest will be announced annually by the PA Department of Revenue. This interest rate will continue for the calendar year regardless of subsequent change in the federal interest rate in such calendar year. Interest is computed by multiplying the late paid or unpaid tax X days delinquent X daily interest rate. The daily interest rate for 2009 was .000137. The 2010 interest rate is not yet available. PENALTIES Failure to file a quarterly return may result in the imposition of additional tax of five percent per month or fraction thereof of the amount shown on the return less any part of the tax paid prior to the due date of the return (minimum penalty five dollars, maximum penalty twenty-five percent). Failure to pay withheld tax to the PA Department of Revenue on or before the due date for filing the quarterly reconciliation return will result in an additional tax of five percent per month of the underpayment for each month or fraction thereof (maximum penalty of fifty percent). If any part of any underpayment of tax required to be shown on a return is due to fraud, an amount equal to fifty percent of the underpayment will be added to the tax. B-10
- 40. PA ELECTRONIC FUNDSTRANSFER Overview The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue requires taxpayers remitting a payment of $20,000 or more for any of the following taxes to make payment by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT): Sales and Use Public Utility Realty Employer Withholding Motor Carrier Corporate Net Income Fuel Use Capital Stock/Franchise Oil Company Franchise Mutual Thrift Institutions Liquid Fuels Bank Shares Malt Beverage Title Insurance and Trust Shares Unemployment Compensation Gross Receipts Cigarette Stamp Agents Insurance Premiums Marine Insurance Premiumstar Requirements for Enrollment in the EFT Program An EFT Authorization Agreement must be completed for each type of tax. The required forms should be received automatically from the Commonwealth. If you are required to use EFT and do not receive the required forms, go to the website at www.revenue.state.pa.us.. business taxpayers, electronic funds. If a payment of $20,000 or greater is not made by an approved EFT method, the account is subject to a three percent penalty up to $500. Payment Methods The EFT program offers three electronic payment methods: 1. Automated Clearing House Debit (ACH Debit) Transaction in which the Commonwealth, through its designated depository bank originates an ACH transaction debiting the taxpayer's bank account and crediting the Department's bank account for the amount of the payment due. Call the Department's Data Collection Center by 1:00 p.m. one business day before the payment due date. Provide the appropriate tax payment information. A 4-digit verification code will be issued. Retain this 4-digit code in the event there is a problem with the transfer. The next business day the amount you owe is debited from your bank account and transferred electronically to the Commonwealth's account. B -11
- 41. PA ELECTRONIC FUNDSTRANSFER - continued Payment methods - continued A service known as warehousing is available to taxpayers using the ACH Debit payment method. Warehousing allows you to initiate your electronic tax payment up to 365 days in advance of the payment due date. Warehousing stores the transaction so that your bank account will not be debited until the specified payment due date. 2. Automated Clearing House Credit (ACH Credit) Before selecting this method verify that your financial institution can properly handle this type of transaction and the approximate costs. Transaction in which the taxpayer, through its own bank, originates an entry crediting the Commonwealth's bank account and debiting its own bank account for the amount of the payment due. You are required to perform a pre-notification test through your financial institution against the Commonwealth's bank account established for EFT payment deposits. The Department's bank account number and transit routing number, to perform this test, will be provided upon receipt of your EFT Authorization Agreement. Please keep in mind that for ACH debit and credit transfers, there is a 1-day lag between the date on which payment is authorized and the date on which the transfer is executed. So, all ACH transactions must be initiated at least one business day before the applicable due date. 3. Federal Reserve Wire Transfer (FedWire) FedWire payment is now only available in emergency situations with prior Department approval. (Limited to two per year) 4. Certified/Cashier's Check Payment Method A taxpayer may satisfy the obligation to remit a payment by EFT by hand delivering a certified or cashier's check, with the appropriate return or deposit statement, to the following address before 4:00 P.M. on or before the due date of the obligation. Payments will not be accepted at other Department locations.

MULTI-STATE REPORTING Multi-State Income Tax Withholding Rule of Thumb-Withhold income tax for the state in which services are performed. This is the default rule for employees who live and work in the same state. When that's not the case, you must consider three other factors: residency, reciprocity, and resident/ nonresident taxation policies. Multi-State Unemployment Insurance Every state sets its own unemployment insurance (Ul) tax rate and taxable wage base. Fortunately, you only have to pay state unemployment taxes to one state for each employee, even if the employee works in more than one state. The trick is making sure that you pay the correct state. If you pay unemployment taxes to the wrong state, you're still liable for paying them to the correct state, and you may have trouble getting a refund from the incorrect state. What to do - Gather the facts on where the employee in question is based, performs work, and lives. 1) Localized: The employee works basically in one state with only temporary or transitory work in another state. Pay the state where the employee normally works. 2) Base of operations: The employee works in more than one state on more than a temporary or transitory basis, but receives instructions, maintains business records, picks up mail or supplies, or has an office in one of the states where he or she works. You pay that state. 3) Place of control: The employee's work is not localized and the base of operations can't be pin-pointed. You pay the state where the control over the employee is localized, if the employee works there some of the time. 4) Residence: When all else fails, pay the state where the employee lives, if he or she works there at least some of the time. B-17
- 47. BONUSES/SUPPLEMENTAL WAGES Taxability andWithholding of Bonuses Bonuses paid to employees for the performance of services are taxable wages subject to federal income, FICA, state, local, FUTA and SUTA payroll taxes. This includes holiday bonuses, incentive bonuses, bonuses for production, severance pay, awards and prizes, and gift certificates. Bonuses are considered supplemental wages for federal income tax withholding purposes. You have three methods available to you for withholding on supplemental wages: 1. If you pay supplemental wages with regular wages but do not specify the amount of each, withhold income tax as if the total were a single payment for a regular payroll period. 2. If you pay supplemental wages separately (or combine them in a single payment and specify the amount of each), you can either: a. Withhold a flat 25% or b. Add the supplemental wages to regular wages for the most recent payroll period. Then compute the withholding tax as if the total were a single payment. Subtract the tax already withheld from the regular wages and withhold the remaining tax from the supplemental wages 3. If you do not withhold income tax from the employee's regular wages (i.e., when the value of your employee's withholding allowances claimed on Form W-4 is more than his/her wages), use the method described in method 2b above. Gross up the Bonus In cases where you want the employee to receive a specific amount without the taxes deducted, you may "gross up" the bonus. In order to do this, follow these steps: 1. Add the withholding tax rates: Federal withholding = 25.00% FICA, M/C = 7.65% PA state tax = 3.07% Local tax = 1.00% PA UC Tax = .06% 36.78% 2. Subtract the total of step 1 from 100%: 100.00% - 36.78% 63.22% B-18
- 48. BONUSES/SUPPLEMENTAL WAGES -continued Gross up the Bonus - continued 3. Divide the net amount by the answer in step 2 to arrive at the gross amount of wages: $500/63.22% = $790.89 Gross amt. 4. Gross amount $ 790.89 (25.00%) Federal w/h (197.71) ( 7.65%) FICA/MC w/h (60.51) ( 3.07%) PA w/h (24.28) ( 1.00%) Local w/h (7.91) ( 0.06%) PA UC tax w/h (.48) $ 500.00 Net bonus How And When To Use Cumulative Withholding Situations can occur where the nature of the work or the duration of employment causes an employee's earnings to be distorted. For example, an employee earns a great deal in one part of the year, and relatively little in the rest. The employee will be over-withheld at his or her earnings peak, and for the entire year, unless you withhold on a cumulative basis. Sales Employees - Cumulative withholding can reduce the amount withheld when a seller's commissions or bonuses are at a seasonal low. The difference is made up when sales, and hence compensation, are higher. Cumulative withholding does not cost an employer anything, but it can be of great benefit to employees. How It Works - A seller's total earnings to date are divided by the payroll periods to date. This gives a salesperson's average pay per payroll period (per week, per month). You then calculate withholding on this average amount and multiply it by the number of payroll periods to date. If during the year this average amount, or more, has already been withheld, no income tax is withheld on the latest commission payment. If less has been withheld, the difference is withheld on the current payment. In any case, FICA tax is deducted as usual. The employee must make a written request for cumulative withholding. Summer Workers - Cumulative withholding can also reduce income tax withholding for so-called part-year workers. It's especially helpful for summer workers, like students, who may have no other earnings during the rest of the year. B-19
- 49. Cumulative Withholding -continued Whatto Do Another option to prevent overwithholding is for employees to sign a request like the one below. Keep it with the W-4. "/ request that federal income tax be withheld from my earnings using the part-year employment method. I am a calendar-year taxpayer. I have not been employed previously during the current year. And I do not anticipate being employed more than 245 calendar days during the current year." The part-year withholding method works on the same principle of averaging earnings over earlier periods, as in the method described previously for sales employees. Since part-year employees have no earnings in these previous periods, withholding on the average earnings is cut drastically. OTHER BENEFITS EXEMPT FROM TAXES Listed below are a few suggestions of nontaxable benefits: 1. Free services; example - hotel chain can allow employees to stay free. 2. Employee discounts 0 up to 20% off the price of service offered to regular customers. 3. Parking - parking benefits up to $230 per month for parking spaces near the employers premises. 4. Transit pass up to $120 per month. 5. Meals & Lodging - an employer can provide free meals and living accommodations to its employees if it's in the best interest of the employer to do so. Example - hospitals can provide free meals on its premises to personnel so they are available for emergencies. An example of the lodging would be a caretaker's apartment on the premises. 6. Supper money for employees who occasionally work late. 7. Employer-sponsored cafeterias - a cafeteria must be open to the entire workforce and they must charge enough to cover their direct operating expenses. 8. Parties, picnics, and occasional tickets to entertainment events. 9. Professional dues - civic clubs, professional groups, trade associations, and chambers of commerce are tax free. Country club dues are taxable. 10. Gyms and athletic facilities - provided they are on the company's premises and are available to all employees. They cannot be available to the public. 11. Education - up to $5,250 per year provided it is for job-related education. B-20
- 50. OTHER BENEFITS EXEMPTFROM TAXES - continued 12. Child care - if it is offered to all employees, the value of employer-provided child care is tax-free up to $5,000 per year. 13. Uniforms, company logo items. 14. Non-cash holiday gifts that are relatively inexpensive and distributed to all employees. 15. Recognition awards - Employer awards for retirement or exceptional performance are federal income tax-free if they have a low fair market value. Awards of tangible personal property are tax-free up to $400 per year or $1,600 if the award is for length of service or safety achievement and it is available to all employees. Remember cash and gift certificates are taxable, unless nominal in value. GROUP TERM LIFE INSURANCE Employer-provided group-term life insurance with a value of $50,000 or less is a tax- free benefit to the employee if it is non-discriminatory. The value in excess of $50,000, less any employee after-tax payroll deduction, is to be treated as taxable income, also subject to social security and Medicare taxes. The employer is not required to withhold federal income tax from the employee, but the value is subject to federal taxation and must be reported on the employee's Form W-2 as "other compensation." This amount is also included in box 12, using Code C. The value in excess of $50,000 is not taxable for FUTA, PA income tax, local wage tax or state unemployment purposes. If the employee pays for additional coverage with cafeteria plan salary-reduction dollars, the entire amount of salary reduction premium is excluded from the employee's taxable wages. Table I must be used to calculate the taxable coverage of life insurance over $50,000, and is taxed as other compensation as stated above. If an employer-provided GTL policy provides coverage in excess of $50,000, the value of the insurance benefit to be included in the employee's income is calculated by use of the IRS "Uniform Premium Table I."

B-22
- 52. CAFETERIA PLANS What isa cafeteria plan? Cafeteria plans or flexible-benefit plans are employee benefit plans, authorized by IRS Code Sec. 125, under which employees may choose from among two or more benefits consisting of cash and qualified benefits offered by an employer. The cafeteria plan must be in writing. All participants must be employees or full-time life insurance salespersons (to the extent that they are otherwise permitted to exclude the elected benefit from income). No special permission is required from the IRS to implement a cafeteria plan. Why offer cafeteria plans? Cafeteria plans give employees greater responsibility for planning their choice of benefits while saving benefit costs for the employer. There are also some immediate tax benefits. All of the before-tax deductions of the employees are exempt from federal income tax, social security, Medicare, and in some states, are exempt from state and local withholding. Most states exclude contributions to before-tax plans from income taxes. Before-tax plans provide many employees with their only opportunity to take a tax deduction for medical expenses, since few employees meet the percentage of income test required to deduct medical expenses on individual tax returns. Employers can save on social security, Medicare, and FUTA by instituting a cafeteria plan. Annual payroll tax savings may actually exceed the administration costs involved in implementing and maintaining a plan. What benefits may be offered in a cafeteria plan? Qualified benefits that can be offered include accident and health insurance, disability insurance, dependent care assistance, adoption assistance, group-term life insurance up to $50,000 coverage, and medical and dental expenses not reimbursed by insurance. With the release of IRS Revenue Ruling 2003-102 the Treasury Department and IRS announced that over-the-counter drugs can be paid for with pre-tax dollars through health care flexible spending accounts. This includes allergy medication, pain relievers, cough & cold medicines, but specifically disallows the cost of dietary supplements and vitamins. B-23
- 53. CAFETERIA PLANS -continued What benefits cannot be included in a cafeteria plan? A cafeteria plan cannot offer employees an option to defer compensation, except through a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under a 401 (k) plan. Generally, a plan that permits employees to carry over unused benefits or contributions from one plan year to a subsequent plan year enables an employee to defer the receipt of compensation. Several other benefits cannot be included in a cafeteria plan because they are already tax-exempt under other parts of the Code. These benefits include: educational assistance plans, scholarships, fellowships, rides in commuter vans, de minimis fringe benefits, no-additional-cost services, employee discounts, and working condition fringe benefits. The plan cannot discriminate in favor of highly-compensated employees. FSA Grace Period Effective 2005, under IRS Notice 2005-42 employers had the option of amending their FSA (Flexible Spending Arrangement) to include a grace period. This would extend the time for reimbursement of health and dependent care benefits by 21/2 months after the plan year ends. Medical and/or dependent care expense incurred by March 15th would be allowed to be used against previous year excess contributions. This lessens the "use-it-or-lose-it" rules for FSA's. Pennsylvania State Law Elective contributions made by an employer and employee pursuant to a cafeteria plan (that qualifies under Federal Code Sec. 125) for a nondiscriminatory welfare benefit plan covering hospitalization, sickness, disability or death is NOT considered taxable compensation and therefore, is not subject to PA tax withholding. Unless allowable as a working condition, no-additional-cost, qualified transportation or de minimis fringe benefit, any of the following ARE TAXABLE as PA compensation and subject to PA withholding: - Amounts paid for dependent care - Amounts paid for non job-related legal, accounting or other professional services or educational assistance Pennsylvania Localities follow PA state compensation rules and exclude employee contributions to cafeteria plans. B-24
- 54. PERSONAL USE OFCOMPANY PROVIDED VEHICLE Although the business use of an employer-provided vehicle is non-taxable, the personal use is considered to be a taxable fringe benefit. Employers are required to ascertain the value of this personal use and to include it in the employee's wages reported on Form W-2. The personal use of a company-provided vehicle is not taxable for Pennsylvania tax purposes. The employee must submit to the employer an accounting for the business use of the car to alleviate the employer reporting the entire value of both business and personal use of the car on the employee's Form W-2. The Internal Revenue Service has provided several valuation methods for the employer to select from which to determine the amount of income that will be subject to reporting and taxing of the employee's wages. The employer may either use the "general valuation method" or select one of the following "safe harbor" valuation methods. • Commuting Valuation • Cents Per Mile Valuation • Annual Lease Value When the employer chooses one of the three "safe harbor" valuation methods they are required to notify their employees, in writing, by January 31 (or 30 days after the employer provides the vehicle to the employee), as to which method will be applied to their assigned vehicle. This written notice, which must be posted in a location where all affected employees are reasonably expected to see it, must state: • The special valuation rule that has been selected • The substantiation requirements under IRC Section 274(d) • The effect of failing to comply with the substantiation requirements • Date notice was posted • If the employer has elected NOT to withhold Federal income tax An employer must adopt a valuation rule by the first day on which the vehicle is made available to the employee. The employer must continue to use the same valuation method for an employee until the vehicle is no longer used by the employee unless the employee and employer can change to the commuting method. Substantiation of Business Use Employees and employers must maintain adequate records to calculate the business use of an employer-provided vehicle. The employee should log the business use of the vehicle including the date, purpose of the trip, and number of miles traveled. To eliminate the necessity of the substantiation requirements, an employer can issue a written policy that either prohibits workers from making personal use of company cars or restricts any personal use to commuting trips only. B-25
- 55. PERSONAL USE OFCOMPANY PROVIDED VEHICLE - continued General Valuation Method The worker's personal use of the employer-provided vehicle is determined by the fair market value of the automobile (the cost an individual would have to pay to lease the same or comparable vehicle on the same comparable terms in the same geographic area). Commuting Valuation Method The commuting use of an employer-provided car is valued at $1.50 per one-way commute ($3.00 per round trip) if the employee meets the following requirements: 1. The vehicle is owned or leased by the employer and is provided to one or more employees for use in connection with the employer's trade or business. 2. The employer, for bona fide noncompensatory business reasons, requires the employee to commute to or from work in the vehicle. 3. The employer has established a written policy under which the employee may not use the vehicle for personal purposes other than for commuting or de minimis personal use (such as, stop for a personal errand on the way between a business delivery or the employee's home). 4. The employee, except for de minimis personal use, does not use the vehicle for any personal purpose other than commuting. 5. The employee required to use the vehicle for commuting is not a control employee of the employer. Cents Per Mile Valuation Method The value is determined by multiplying the number of miles driven for personal use by the standard mileage rates established by the IRS (55# per mile for 2009, and for 2010). The standard rate includes maintenance, insurance, and fuel provided by the employer. If the employee provides fuel, the valuation is reduced by 5.5C. To use this valuation method the following conditions are necessary: • Employer expects the employee to use the vehicle while conducting the employer's business during the year • Vehicle will be driven more than 10,000 miles • Vehicle will be used primarily by employees • Fair market value of the vehicle cannot exceed $15,000 for a passenger automobile or $15,200 for a truck or van. B-26
- 56. PERSONAL USE OFCOMPANY PROVIDED VEHICLE continued Cents Per Mile Valuation Method - continued EXAMPLE: Vehicle Cents Per Mile John Smith was issued a vehicle on January 2, 2009 Fair market value of vehicle on January 2, 2009 was $12,500 John has driven 15,500 miles during 2009 (4,500 personal miles and 11,000 business miles) The vehicle cents per mile valuation method is used (4,500 x 55C) = $2,475.00) to be included in John's income (fuel provided) $2,475.00 minus $247.50 (5.5tf x 4,500) = $2,227.50 (fuel not provided) Fair Market Valuation Method (Annual Lease Value) An employer determines the fair market value of the employer-provided vehicle on the first day the vehicle was available to the employee and then consults the IRS's "Annual Lease Value Table." The fair market value of the vehicle is that amount which the employee would pay when acquiring the vehicle in an arms-length transaction, including sales tax, registration fees, and title fees. Once the fair market value is determined for the vehicle, that value is to be used for the first four (4) calendar years the employer makes the vehicle available to the employee. After four calendar years, the employer may determine a new fair market value. If a vehicle is transferred to another employee, the employer may redetermine its fair market value and calculate a new annual lease value, provided this is not done for the purpose of reducing an employee's income taxes. Example of Annual Lease Value John Smith was issued a vehicle on January 2, 2009 FMV of the vehicle on January 2, 2009 was $20,400 John has driven 15,500 miles during 2009; 4,500 personal miles and 11,000 business miles Calculation: Annual lease value $5,600.00 Personal use percentage (4,500/15,500) 29.03% Personal use value included in John's W-2 $1.625.68 If fuel is provided, the employer must include an additional 5.5C per mile for personal miles. In this example, John would have an additional $247.50 (4,500 X .055) in taxable wages. B-27

The ALV is decreased for any periods during which the car was unavailable and increased to cover other services provided for the car. The final amount is then multiplied by the percentage that represents personal use. B-28
- 58. PERSONAL USE OFCOMPANY PROVIDED VEHICLE - continued Company Fleets Company fleets comprised of twenty or more vehicles using the annual lease value method may choose a fleet average valuation. When the employer reasonably expects the vehicles to be used in the employer's trade or business and each unit of the fleet has a fair market value of $19,900 or less (adjusted periodically by the IRS), the average of the fair market value for all vehicles may be used. If the fleet falls below 20 vehicles for more than 50% of the days in the year, the employer will not be able to use the fleet valuation method in the next year. Employers may identify more than one fleet within the vehicles owned by the employer. If the fleet average method is used, the employer must recalculate the valuations every two years. When the fleet valuation method is used, and the employer continuously provides a unit from the fleet to the employee, the employer is not required to provide the same vehicle for the entire period. Employer-provided fuel for fleet automobiles can be valued by using an average fuel cost of the entire fleet, or 5.5C per mile. After you have determined the fair market value or fleet value, find this amount on the "annual lease value table" and multiply the amount from the table by the employee's personal use percentage for the vehicle (personal miles divided by total miles driven). The employer must add an additional 5.5C for each personal mile driven if the employer also provides fuel for the vehicle. Part Year Valuation The annual lease value was designed primarily for vehicles used the entire calendar year. However, special valuation rules exist for vehicles used for shorter periods of time. To determine the value for a period of continuous availability that lasts at least 30 days, but less than a full year, the employer must multiply the annual lease value by the number of days the car is available to the employee and divide that figure by 365. The days the car is unavailable to the employee for bona-fide business reasons may be excluded. The days that the car is available but not used by the employee (such as during vacation), may not be excluded. The employer may prorate the annual lease value even if the 30 continuous day period straddles two years. This method may not be used when the reduction of taxable income is the primary reason for the change. B-29
- 59. PERSONAL USE OFCOMPANY PROVIDED VEHICLE continued Fixed and Variable Rate Mileage Allowance (FAVR) In the past employers paid employees an automobile allowance which was taxable to the employee. Revenue Procedure 90-34 added a new methodology (FAVR) in which employers can reimburse employees using their personal car for company business and exclude the payments from income. A FAVR allowance is made up of two parts: 1. A flat rate payment to cover the employee's fixed costs for depreciation, insurance, registration license fees and personal property tax for the vehicle, and 2. A periodic cents-per-mile payment for the employee's operating costs for gas, oil, tires and routine maintenance and repairs. A FAVR can only be used when the employee meets the following requirements: •The employee owns the car •The employee substantiates 5,000 miles driven in the employer's business, or, if greater, 80% of the annual business mileage is using a FAVR allowance •At no time during the year may greater than 50% of the employees covered by the FAVR be management •At least 5 employees must be covered under the FAVR at all times during the calendar year • Employees covered by the FAVR for less than the full year may prorate the FAVR. When a FAVR is used, the employee's reimbursement must be paid no less frequently than once a quarter. The costs (standard automobile cost) used in determining the FAVR must be based on 95% of the sum of the dealer's invoice plus state and local sales taxes paid by consumers in the geographic area where the employee lives. The standard automobile cost may not exceed $27,200 for 2009 and the employer is permitted to have different FAVR rates for different employees based on different standard automobiles. B-30
- 60. SICK PAY (DISABILITYINCOME) 1. Employer pays employee sick pay: •Treated as normal wages • Payments are subject to all withholding requirements 2. Agent pays employee: •Agent (third-party) is paid on a cost-plus-fee basis by the employer, therefore bears no insurance risk • Payments are subject to all withholding requirements •Agent is not treated as employer 3. Third-party pays employee: •Third-party is paid an insurance premium by employer, so therefore bears the insurance risk • Payments are subject to FICA/Medicare withholding requirements, but not income tax withholding •Third-party is treated as the employer • Can be responsible for "employer portion" of FICA/Medicare taxes, or transfer responsibility back to original employer a. Third-party retains responsibility for taxes: • Third-party: • Withholds FICA and Medicare from "employees" (income taxes if requested) • Deposits withheld and matching portion of FICA/Medicare according to deposit requirements • Files Form 941 and W-2s as any other employer • Original employer does not need to do anything b. Third-party transfers responsibility for taxes back to original employer: • In order for transfer to occur, third-party must: • Withhold employee's share of FICA/Medicare • Deposit such tax according to deposit requirements • Notify the employer of the amount of wages and withholdings within time required for employer's share of deposit to be deposited according to deposit requirements. • Employer pays employer's share of FICA & Medicare taxes only • Employer files 941 and W2's B-31
- 61. FORM 1099 -MISCELLANEOUS INCOME Non-employee Compensation Fees, commissions, prizes and awards for services performed, or other forms of compensation paid to non-employees for services rendered, and expenses incurred for the use of an entertainment facility treated as compensation paid to a non- employee are reported on Form 1099-MISC in box 7. The exemption from reporting payments made to corporations no longer applies to payments made for legal services. Report any attorneys fees, including corporations that provide legal services, in box 7. If you make a payment to an attorney in connection with legal services but you cannot determine the portion that is the attorney's fee, then report the total amount paid to the attorney (gross proceeds) in box 14, using code "A". Include fees, commissions, prizes and awards for services performed, or other forms of compensation for services performed for your trade or business by an individual who is not your employee. Include oil and gas payments for a working interest, whether or not services are performed. Also include expenses incurred for the use of an entertainment facility that you treat as compensation to a non-employee. Do not report in box 7, nor elsewhere on Form 1099-MISC, PS 58 costs (reported on Form 1099-R); an employee's wages, travel or auto allowance, or bonuses (reported on Form W-2); or the cost of group-term life insurance paid on behalf of a former employee (reported on Form W-2). Generally, amounts reportable in box 7 are subject to self-employment tax. If payments are not subject to this tax and they are not reportable elsewhere on Form 1099-MISC, report the payments in box 3. If the following four conditions are met, a payment generally is reportable as non- employee compensation: 1) you made the payment to someone who is not your employee; 2) you made the payment for services in the course of your trade or business (including government agencies and nonprofit organizations); 3) you made the payment to someone other than a corporation (with the exception of legal services), e.g., an individual or a partnership; and 4) you made payments to the payee of at least $600 during the year. Examples of payments to be reported in box 7 are: 1. Attorneys' fees for professional services, payments of $600 or more for legal services regardless of the company structure, e.g., a corporation, individual, or partnership. 2. Fees paid by one professional to another, such as fee-splitting or referral fees. B-32
- 62. FORM 1099 -MISCELLANEOUS INCOME - continued Examples of payments to be reported in box 7 are: - continued 3. Payments by attorneys to witnesses or experts in legal adjudication. 4. Payment for services, including payment for parts or materials used to perform the services as long as supplying the parts or materials was incidental to providing the service. For example, report the total insurance company payments to an auto repair shop under a repair contract showing an amount for labor and another amount for parts, since furnishing parts was incidental to repairing the auto. 5. Commissions paid to nonemployee salespersons, subject to repayment but not repaid during the calendar year. 6. A fee paid to a nonemployee and travel reimbursement for which the nonemployee did not account to the payer if the fee and reimbursement total at least $600. 7. Payments to nonemployee entertainers for services. 8. Exchanges of services between individuals in the course of their trades or businesses. For example, an attorney represents a painter for nonpayment of business debts in exchange for the painting of the attorney's law offices. The amount reportable by each on Form 1099-MISC is the fair market value of his orherown services performed. However, if the attorney represents the painter in a divorce proceeding, the attorney must report on Form 1099-MISC the value of his or her services, but the painter need not report. The payment by the painter is not made in the course of the painter's trade or business, even though the painting services are of the type normally performed in the course of the painter's trade or business. 9. Taxable fringe benefits for non-employees. For information on valuation of fringe benefits, see Pub. 535, Business Expenses. 10. Gross oil and gas payments for a working interest. 11. Payments to current and former self-employed insurance salespersons and agents for (a) amounts paid after retirement, but calculated as a percentage of commissions received by the individual from the paying company before retirement; (b) renewal commissions; and (c) deferred commissions paid after retirement but for sales made before retirement.

- 64. BUSINESS EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS TheIRS has divided employee expense reimbursement plans into two categories: Accountable Plans, and Non-Accountable Plans. Accountable Plans Reimbursements or other expense allowances made under this type of plan are generally tax-free to the employee and do not require the reporting of income on the employee's Form W-2. An accountable plan must meet the following three requirements: 1. Business Connection: Expenses must be business related to the extent the employee could deduct them on his or her personal income tax return. 2. Substantiation: The employee must substantiate the expenses with a detailed record of the expense including the time, business purpose, place, and amount of the expense. 3. Return of Unsubstantiated Amounts: The employee must return, within a "reasonable time," any advances that exceed their substantiated expenses. If the employee does not return or substantiate the expenses, income and employment taxes must be withheld on the first pay period ending after the expiration of the "reasonable time." The IRS has provided two "safe-harbor" methods for meeting the "reasonable time" requirements: Fixed Date Method • Advance payments made no more than 30 days before an employee incurs business expenses • Expenses that are substantiated within 60 days after they are incurred or paid • Excess payments returned to employer within 120 days after being incurred/paid Periodic Statement Method • Employer issues periodic statements to employees, at least quarterly, identifying unsubstantiated expenses or unreturned excess payments • Employees substantiate the expenses and refund any excess within 120 days after receiving the statement Reimbursing an employee at the standard IRS mileage rate or less, will allow a mileage reimbursement plan to be classified as an accountable plan. The standard mileage rate is 550 per mile, increasing to £ per mile in 2010. B-35
- 65. BUSINESS EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS-continued PerDiems and Mileage Allowances Meals and incidental expense per diems or mileage allowances paid to employees which are less than or equal to the applicable rates set for federal employees are "deemed satisfied" without the employee having to provide receipts. The employees need only account for time, place and business purpose of their expenses. The CONUS "Continental United States" Advantage The IRS allows private-sector employers to use these rates to provide employees with tax-free reimbursements for their business travel-related expenses. That's good news for employees and employers, since using the federally approved CONUS per diems can mean less paperwork. Under the accountable plan rules, an employee who is reimbursed for a business expense must substantiate the cost of the expense. Rather than deal with collecting, verifying, and totaling all those receipts, you can reimburse employees at the federally approved per diem amount for each day the employee travels on business. Then, all the employee has to do is substantiate the time, place, and business purpose. Note: You will not have to withhold or pay employment taxes on the amount reimbursed, or report it as wages on the employee's W-2. High - Low Method In lieu of using the maximum per diem rate from the CONUS table, the high-low method, which is a simplified method of determining a lodging plus M&IE per diem, can be used to compute per diem allowances for travel within the continental United States. This method divides all CONUS localities into two categories: low-cost or high-cost localities. Certain areas are treated as high-cost only during designated periods of the year (e.g., a peak tourist season) and low-cost during other periods of time. Thus, employers who use the high-low method must determine whether the employee traveled in a high-cost area and if the area was classified as high-cost during the actual period of travel. If the high-low method is used for an employee, then the payor may not use the actual federal maximum per diem rates for that employee during the calendar year for travel within the continental United States.

This publication also lists the maximum federal per diem rates for many locations within the continental United States. The publication can be downloaded from www.irs.gov. Another helpful website for per diem charts is www.policvworks.gov and www.qsa.gov/perdiem. Use What Works for You You do not have to make an all-encompassing decision as to whether you will use the CONUS rates, high-low rates, or actual-expense reimbursement. You have some flexibility-and a few restrictions: • If you have been using the high-low rates so far this year, you cannot switch to the CONUS rates during the transition, and vice versa. • If you used the CONUS per diems the first time you reimbursed an employee's travel expenses in 2009, you must use CONUS rates for that employee's reimbursements for the remainder of the year. • You can, however, use the high-low rates for some employees and the CONUS rates for others if you feel the different rates are more accurate for the sites most visited by the employees. If employees submit receipts, you can reimburse them tax-free for actual expenses under an accountable plan, even if you reimbursed them for previous expenses using the high-low or CONUS rates. B-37
- 67. BUSINESS EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS-continued Non-accountablePlan Any business expense reimbursement or advance which does not meet the three qualifications of an accountable plan is considered a non-accountable plan. These reimbursements are to be treated as taxable wages when paid, subject to federal income, social security, Medicare, and unemployment taxes. Payment is defined as when the employee fails to meet any of the three requirements required for an accountable plan. They must also be reported on the employee's Form W-2. Reimbursing an employee at a higher amount than the standard IRS mileage rate, would result in the amount of the excess being classified as a non- accountable plan. Business Meals and Entertainment The deduction for the cost of business meals and entertainment is 50%. (For Pennsylvania purposes, the deduction continues to be 100% of the cost of business meals and entertainment). Travel Expenses for Dependents Employers are not allowed a deduction for travel expenses with respect to a spouse, dependent, or other individual accompanying an employee on business trips unless: • The spouse, dependent, or other person is a bona fide employee of the person paying or reimbursing the expenses, • The travel of the spouse, dependent, or other person is for bona fide business purposes, and • The expenses of the spouse, dependent, or other person would otherwise be deductible. If all three criteria are not met, the travel expenses of the spouse, dependent, or other person can only be deducted to the extent they are treated as compensation to the employee. B-38
- 68. BUSINESS EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS-continued MOVING EXPENSES Qualified moving expenses are limited to reimbursements for moving your household goods and traveling to a new residence, including lodging. They are non-taxable fringe benefits (provided the move qualifies as deductible, i.e. a 50 mile increase in distance from work, etc.). These excludable reimbursements should be shown in Box 12 of Form W-2, identified by using Code "P", and are not included in Box 1. Non-qualified moving expenses are meals, pre-move house hunting trips, temporary lodging and costs associated with selling the old residence and buying the new. These expenses are not deductible as moving expenses, and therefore, are taxable fringe benefits. Reimbursements for these expenses must be included in boxes 1,3, and 5 of Form W-2. B-39

- 74. NEW EMPLOYER PACKETS- continued PA-100 ON-LINE REGISTRATION - continued: Notify the Commonwealth in writing within 30 days of any change to the information provided on the registration form. STATE UNEMPLOYMENT TAX New employers start paying unemployment tax based on a "new employer's rate". The rate for new PA employers in 2010 is: Nonconstruction Employers 3.7030% New Construction Employers 10.2626% Based on various factors, an employer's "experience rating" may be increased or decreased each year. State unemployment tax is paid each quarter up to maximum amount of wages per year per employee. (PA maximum wages per employee is $8,000/Maryland is $8,500). PA UC WITHHOLDING TAX During 2003 Pennsylvania employers were required to begin withholding Pennsylvania Unemployment Tax from each employee's wages. PA UC Tax to be withheld has been reduced to .06% (.0006) on all wages earned during 2010. A surcharge on employer contributions has been factored into the employer's contribution rate. Due to higher unemployment, the surcharge and employee tax went into effect to protect the PA Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund balance. C-4
- 75. FORM W-5 -EARNED INCOME CREDIT - ADVANCE PAYMENT CERTIFICATE The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 increased the earned income credit for joint filers and for taxpayers with 3 or more qualifying children. This affects the 2009 Form W-5 and 2009 W-5 because it increases the amount of adjusted gross income you can have and still receive the advance earned income credit if you are married filing jointly. If your employees qualify for the earned income credit, you should provide them with Form W-5 - Earned Income Credit Advance Payment Certificate. This form will allow them to receive advance payments of the earned income credit in their regular paycheck during the year. Payments of the Advance Earned Income Credit are limited to 60% of the Employee's Earned Income Credit. Employees with a qualifying child who are eligible for the Earned Income Credit and expect to earn less than $35,463 ($40,463 if filing jointly) may choose to receive an advance payment. Your employees can get any additional credit due to them when they file their income tax returns. NEW HIRE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 required employers to report certain information on their newly-hired employees to a designated State agency. States match new hire reports against their child support records to locate parents, as well as detect and prevent erroneous benefit payments from Employment Security and Workers' Compensation. The state will transmit the New Hire Reports to the National Directory of New Hires. This has increased national child support collections, reduced welfare payments, and saved $$ in Medicaid, food stamp and unemployment insurance fraud. New Hire reports are sent to the State Directory of New Hires in the state where the employee works. Each state should be sending employers instructions on where and how to send the new hire information. Federal law mandates that new hires be reported within 20 days of the date of hire. General information on new hire reporting is available by accessing www.acf.hhs.gov/proqrams/cse/newhire or by calling 1-202-401-9373. An Employee Is Considered A "New Hire" And Must Be Reported If: 1) Your company never employed this individual previously 2) The individual is a former employee who is: a) Rehired following termination. b) Rehired following separation. c) Returning to work following a layoff, or d) Returning to work following a requested leave of absence without pay greater than 30 days.

- 96. Pennsylvania's Local EarnedIncome Tax Law saw reform and change when Act 166 was created December 9, 2002. This act amended the Local Tax Enabling Act by changing the definitions of "Earned Income" and "Net Profits". Under Act 166, these two items are redefined and follow the same definitions as those for Pennsylvania's Personal Income Tax. All local Pennsylvania taxing agencies (except Philadelphia) now follow the same rules for what they do and do not tax as earned income and net profits. This should resolve much of the dispute between various local taxing agencies. LOCAL MERGER Effective January 1, 2006, Adams County Earned Income Tax Collection Agency merged with the York Area Tax Bureau, naming the bureau: YORK ADAMS TAX BUREAU. LOCAL SERVICES TAX Senate Bill 218 signed into law on June 21,2007, amends the Local Tax Enabling Act to make changes to the Emergency and Municipal Service Tax (EMST) effective January 1, 2008. The name of the tax will change to the LOCAL SERVICES TAX. The rate, determined by the Pennsylvania municipality, ranges from $10 -$52. If the Local Services Tax is over $10, there is an "Income Exemption" for employees earning a total of less than $12,000 during the calendar year. Employers must make upfront exemption forms readily available to employees at all times and provide new employees with the forms at the time they are hired. A "Military Exemption" is also available for disabled veterans and members of the Armed Forces Reserves on active duty during the tax year. If the tax rate is over $10, employers will be required to withhold pro-rated over the number of pay periods. Refer to the chart on the following page for rates in excess of $10. C-26

- 98. DESIGNING THE PAYROLLSYSTEM What Information Should the System Provide? One of the most important elements of a well-designed payroll system is that it provides the information the employer needs. For many companies, the payroll system does not have to be elaborate. It can be designed to provide only the basic information necessary to: • Calculate payrolls, including gross pay and withholdings for federal, state, and local income taxes, Social Security and Medicare taxes, and other payroll deductions. • Compute and make timely payroll tax deposits. • Record payroll liabilities and expenses on the general ledger. • Prepare monthly and/or quarterly and annual payroll tax returns. What Information Should Be Provided? To accurately calculate payrolls, the following information, at a minimum, is needed about each employee: a. Name, address and Social Security number. b. Salary or hourly rate. c. Pay frequency (for example, weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly). d. Amount of federal income tax that should be withheld from each payroll check (that is, the number of withholding allowances claimed on IRS Form W-4 plus any additional withholding requested by the employee). e. Amount of other payroll tax deductions (for example, for retirement plans, savings plans, or insurance) and whether those deductions should be made before or after federal income taxes. f. Amount of advance payments of the earned income credit if the employee has filed Form W-5 to receive such payments. g. Number of normal and overtime hours worked (if paid on an hourly basis). The information in a. through f., above, need only be provided once - before the initial payroll is processed. Thereafter, the information should be provided only as employees are added or as changes in the information about existing employees occur. Generally, the information in a. through f. can be obtained by reviewing employee files containing employment contracts or letters, completed Form W-4's and W-5's, benefit enrollment forms, etc. To facilitate payroll processing, however, the information should be summarized in one place. C-28
- 99. MAINTAINING PAYROLL RECORDS TheInternal Revenue Service requires employers to maintain the following payroll records for at least four years after the later of (1) the due date of the related payroll tax returns or (2) the date the payroll taxes were paid: 1. Employer identification number 2. Copies of payroll tax returns that have been filed 3. Dates and amounts of payroll tax deposits made and verification numbers for electronic deposits 4. Each employee's name, address, and Social Security number 5. The total amount and date of each wage payment and the period of time the payment covers 6. For each wage payment, the amount subject to income tax, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax withhold ings 7. The amounts of withholding taxes collected on each payment and the date it was collected 8. The reasons for any differences between the taxable amounts and the total wage payment 9. The total amount paid to employees during the calendar year 10. The amount of compensation subject to federal unemployment tax 11. The amount paid into state unemployment funds 12. Any other information required to be shown on Form 940 (or Form 940-EZ) 13. The fair market value and date of each payment of noncash compensation made to a retail commission salesperson, if no income tax was withheld 14. For accident or health plans, information about the amount of each payment 15. The dates in each calendar quarter on which any employee worked for the employer, but not in the course of the employer's trade or business, and the amount paid for that work 16.

Form W-5, Earned Income Credit Advance Payment Certificate, of employees who are eligible for the earned income credit and wish to receive their payment in advance, rather than when they file their income tax returns PENNSYLVANIA INCOME TAX GENERAL INFORMATION: Introduction: Pennsylvania law requires the withholding of Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax from compensation of resident employees for services performed either within or outside Pennsylvania and from wages of nonresident employees for services performed within Pennsylvania. Every employer paying compensation subject to withholding must withhold Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax from each payment of taxable compensation to his employees. Questions may be directed to the PA Department of Revenue, Bureau of Business Trust Fund Taxes, telephone (717) 783-1488, TDD# (717) 772-2252 (Hearing Impaired Only) or to any of the PA Department of Revenue District Offices. Statutory Requirement: The requirement of withholding Personal Income Tax is imposed on every employer maintaining an office or transacting business within this Commonwealth and making payment of compensation to a resident individual or to a nonresident individual performing services on behalf of the employer within this Commonwealth. C-30
- 101. PENNSYLVANIA INCOME TAX- continued Reciprocity: Pennsylvania has reciprocal agreements with Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia. These agreements provide that: 1. Employers in these states may withhold Pennsylvania income tax from their employees who are Pennsylvania residents. 2. Pennsylvania employers are not required to withhold Pennsylvania income tax from certain employees who are residents of these states; instead, these employers withhold the appropriate tax of the employee's resident state. To qualify for exemption from Pennsylvania income tax withholding, an employee who is a resident of one of the states with which Pennsylvania has a reciprocal agreement must file Form REV-420 (Employee's Statement of Nonresidence in Pennsylvania) with his or her employer. If a Form REV-420 is not filed, the employer should withhold Pennsylvania income tax as for a resident. Definition of Employer: An "employer" is any individual, partnership, association, corporation, government body or other entity that employs one or more persons for compensation. Any person required under the Internal Revenue Code to withhold Federal Tax from compensation paid to an employee will be considered an employer. Employer Identification: An employer should use his Pennsylvania Account Number to report all Pennsylvania withholding. An Employer is also required to provide its Federal Employer Identification number (EIN). If an employer has multiple divisions using the same EIN but remitting and reconciling withholding tax separately, the employer should request a separate Pennsylvania (PM) identification number for each division. Direct questions relating to identification numbers to the PA Department of Revenue, Bureau of Business Trust Fund Taxes, telephone (717) 787-3653, TDD# (717) 772-2252. C-31
