Withholding

Next: Sent to the Senate
Committee: Tax Policy
Description: HB 5131 (Farrington) would eliminate tax-withholding requirements for flow-through entities (i.e., limited liability companies, S corporations, and partnerships).

Without these requirements, members would be expected to pay their estimated taxes directly to the State.
