Withholding Forms

In all instances, employers are required to deduct and withhold District income tax from employees' wages and pay to the District the exact amount of withholding as shown by the withholding tables.

For reporting purposes, any amount required to be shown on any return, such as the FR-900A or FR-900M, is subject to the rounding rules and shall be reported in the following way: If the fractional amount (cents) is less than a half dollar, then the fractional amount is dropped. If the fractional amount (cents) is greater than a half dollar (between 50 cents and 99 cents), then the amount is increased to the next dollar.

In those instances, where rounding causes a reporting entity to be overpaid at the end of the year, the employer may use the FR-900B to show the overpayment and to request a refund of the overpayment. The FR-900B is dollars only, and any overpayment will need to be rounded.
