Withholding Forms

Most forms are available in a “fill-in” format, meaning you can view, complete, and print the form from your computer.
You will need the latest version of the free Acrobat Reader.

• There is no computation, validation, or verification of the information you enter.
• You are responsible for entering all required information.
• Instructions may require some information to be handwritten on the printed form (for example, signatures).

Note: The free Acrobat Reader does not allow you to SAVE completed forms electronically.

• You must fill in the form and print it out in one session.
• If you experience problems with downloading forms, it is recommended that you upgrade to the latest version of the Acrobat Reader.
• You should print 2 copies in order to file one with the Department and keep the other for your records.

For those tax returns where an e-file program exists, only blank copies of the forms can be printed. Look for the e-file logo
[] to electronically file your form.
