Bill > HB2327

This bill makes a technical correction to Arizona's tax withholding law for unemployment compensation, specifically amending section 43-407 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The bill clarifies that when an individual elects to have state income tax withheld from their unemployment compensation payments, these payments will be treated similar to wages paid by an employer to an employee. The withholding amount will be ten percent of the federal income tax already deducted. The bill maintains the existing provisions that allow individuals to make a written election to have taxes withheld from their unemployment compensation and also provides the option to terminate this withholding at any time through a written request to the payment provider. The primary purpose appears to be ensuring clear, consistent language around the voluntary tax withholding process for unemployment compensation recipients.
