TAX RATES

becomes the due date. The dates in this brochure have taken this factor into
consideration where applicable.
2010 Individuals: Taxable Income
Annual income tax dates and estimated tax payment dates are for calendar
year taxpayers. Fiscal year taxpayer dates for filing and payment of estimated
taxes are adjusted to the corresponding months after their fiscal year end as
opposed to December 31st. Fiscal year corporation income tax returns are
due on the 15th day of the third month after the year end, and estimated tax
payments are due on the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th month of the
corporation tax year.
SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES
In 2008, the wage base for two parts of the Social Security tax (Social
Security and Medicare) is different. Forms 941 and W-2 require employers to
separately report the withholding on each part. For 2010, the 6.2% Social
Security tax is computed on the first $106,800 of the employee’s wages,
and the 1.45% Medicare tax is computed on all wages. For self-employed
persons, the 12.4% OASDI (old age, survivors, and disability insurance tax),
which is the equivalent of the Social Security tax imposed on employers, is
computed on the first $106,800 of self-employment income and the 2.9%
Medicare tax is computed on all self-employment income.

PAYROLL TAX DEPOSITS
Deposits are made on either monthly or semi-weekly basis. The
determination of which deposit schedule applies will be made by looking
back at the employment taxes reported for 12-month look back period—
third and fourth quarters of 2007 and first and second quarters of 2008.
Employers who reported $50,000 or less will deposit monthly. These
deposits will be due by the 15th day of the following month. Those reporting
over $50,000 during look back period, deposit semiweekly. For paydays on
Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday the deposit is due by the Wednesday after
the payday. For all other paydays, the deposit is due by the Friday following
payday. Whether monthly or semiweekly, employers will have at least three
banking days after payday to make deposit. All new firms will be monthly
depositors. Firms amassing $100,000 or more on monthly or semiweekly
period must deposit it by next banking day. Those with less than $2,500 in a
quarter may skip deposits and remit at the end of the quarter with 941.
The preceding list of due dates and tax information is complete for many
people and businesses, but it is not intended to be all-inclusive to cover every
situation. There are other taxes and filing requirements imposed upon special
businesses, services, products and transactions that have not been included
because of their more limited application.
Employers who reported federal tax deposits of more than $200,000 for
calendar year 1998 or after will be required to remit their taxes utilizing the
EFTPS program beginning January 1st of the 2nd succeeding year, during which
the deposit threshold was reached (e.g. If the threshold was reached during
2008, use of the EFTPS must begin January 1, 2010).
