Overview Now that you've completed the Chapter about federal income tax withholding, you'll do some web research to learn about the differences between federal and Oregon state income tax withholding. Time The time estimated to complete the activity is 2 hours. Due Date This activity is due on Wednesday by 11:00 p.m. Instructions For this assignment, imagine that you are the payroll clerk for your company. An employee, Hasim, comes to you with his latest paystub in his hand and asks you, "Where did the amount labeled 'OR Tax withheld' come from? Why is it different than my federal income tax? What do these taxes pay for?" You tell Hasim that you will need some time to investigate and that you will email him an answer. Using the Oregon Department of Revenue website, and your knowledge of federal income tax withholdings, compose an email to Hasim that addresses his questions. You don't need to include any specific math about his paycheck, but you do want to be able to describe how the Oregon income tax withholding is determined, and answer his general questions about Oregon income tax withholdings. Write a paragraph or two to answer Hasim's questions. Upload your draft email to this assignment link by the deadline.
