Which countys tax should be withheld from my employees checks?
An employee should be paying tax to the county where he/she lives on January 1 of that year. If the county where he/she lives does not have a county tax, and the county where the work is performed does, he/she should be paying tax (at the lower, non-resident rate) to the work county. This does not change if the employee moves from one county to another during the year and will not change his/her withholding during the year. The employee must complete a new form WH-4 indicating his/her new county of residence by January 1st of the new year. Forward a copy of the form to us and we will change his/her withholding for the next year.
